The Kindergarten will continue with the Cheeky
Monkeys’ aim to develop social, educational, physical
and emotional skills of the children through interactive
learning and best practice teaching.
Language
The language of instruction will be English with
classes taught by qualified and experienced teachers.
Curriculum
We will follow the early learning goals set out by the U.K government
and use modern materials developed to interest and stimulate the
children. Oxford reading tree will be used as the basic course supported
by ‘Developing Literacy’ and broad range of reading
material. ‘Developing Numeracy’ will be the basis of
mathematical work supported by a variety of practical activities.
Our aim will be to use quality educational materials in a carefully
sequenced manner to allow each child to progress and meet their
individual potential.
Year Groups
KG 1 Age 4 to 5 years (UK Reception year)
KG 2 Age 5 to 6 years (UK Year 1 – Key Stage 1)
School Year
The school year will start at the beginning of August each year
and will be divided into four terms of approximately 10 weeks each.
Daily Timings
Kindergarten will run from 9.30am to 2.00pm Monday to Friday.
Lunch
Children may bring a packed lunch if they wish or we can provide
a meal for an additional cost.
Uniform
All children will be asked to wear Cheeky Monkeys Kindergarten
T shirts. This will make them feel part of a special group and T
shirts are easily changed if little accidents happen in art and
crafts!
We look forward to working with you to give your child an interesting
and stimulating environment in which they can enjoy developing their
skills to the full.
