Key Concepts
The key concepts that underpin our philosophy comes from many training courses, conferences and learning from the Pen Green Centre. Some of our staff have made several visits to the Centre in Corby for learning and insperation, the key concepts are as follows:
o Schemas
o Wellbeing
o Involvement
o Pedagogic Strategies
At The Cedars Neighbourhood Nursery, observing children is an important part of our role. The more you know about a child, the more effectively you can provide for his or her needs and plan for the next steps of learning. Looking for schemas is one useful tool to help to do this. Information from the parents on observations, examples of activities and how the child plays at home is essential for planning their next steps. This also helps to develop a true partnership between parents and practitioners.
