I Am, I Can, I Will

Here at Little Gems, we inspire to deliver a high standard of teaching to our children, all the while instilling confidence and ensuring lots of fun! This is achieved by stimulating the children with a wide range of activities that are linked to the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Statutory framework in order for each child to fulfil their full potential.
We achieve this by the mere fact that we pride ourselves on our awareness of cultural diversity we understand that not every child will be the same. As well as  focusing on academic targets through a topic based curriculum we also focus on the physical, social, intellectual and emotional development of each and every individual child.
We implement the 'I AM - I CAN - I WILL' approach to learning developed by our Manager Dina Lally. It is inspired by Montessori, Reggio Emilia and The Curiosity approach and encourages mindfulness in children and staff, creating a calm child-centred environment.
Here at Little Gems we seek to use our comprehensive experience and understanding into child development. We aim to know the personal needs of each child to secure steady progression and development. Children will be assessed accordingly, and each task and activity will be differentiated in order to support any gaps in their learning and development. This method allows each child to develop in a way that is unique to them, allowing them to secure a solid foundation of learning whilst stimulating progression across core and enhanced areas of development.
By combining all of these skills and techniques we aim to enable a smoother, natural transition from early years to later education.
