Learning Methods Scientifically Distinctive

In the happy atmosphere of Toddler Town, learning is fun! But behind it all, there is a well thought out, researched and proven concept and method:

Unique Child Unique Learning

Each child receives holistic development that is built around the child’s individual traits and needs.Being treated as unique individuals also means children gain hugely from positive reinforcement for individual achievements based on their own abilities and strengths, and not in comparison with other kids’. Our assessment aims to set and document birth-to-five learning and developmental milestones.

Sensory learning

Our learning method recognizes that children learn most effectively by using all their senses.

Experiential learning

How do the toddlers learn? We understand that children learn best through their own exploration and first hand experiences, and so our nurseries are built to facilitate this concept.Children don’t learn just from one thing or another. They use all their senses in that process, exploring and discovering through the trial and error of first-hand experience.

Acceptance and approval is supremely important while they grow in confidence, developing positive self-esteem. Your child imagines and perceives the world around them in his or her own way. By encouraging creativity, language, movement and play, we unpack the child’s imagination and self-expression.

Learning to take risks

Taking risks is a personally and professionally rewarding challenge, and when a child learns how to take risks, he or she enjoys the experience. That’s why we help your child take risks while providing a safety net of support.

Celebrating diversity

As unique as your child is, a diverse environment is of great advantage to the quality of development. That’s why we celebrate and encourage the rich cultural, linguistic and global diversity among our students. In addition to observing International Day annually to celebrate the cultural diversity of our staff and students , we select several different festivals each year from around the world to celebrate within the nursery, such as Chinese New Year, Thanksgiving, Diwali, etc . These are of course in addition to the most popular and commonly celebrated holidays such as Eid, Christmas and UAE National Day.

Evidence-based delivery

We pride ourselves on our excellent delivery and recording of the EYFS curriculum. But we realize it’s important to a parent to not merely have a relationship with their child’s nursery, but also know what their child is doing. So we have built our systems around that need:
Outside every classroom, parents will be able to see the weekly planning with links to their termly objectives in a clear format.
Our Curriculum Manager creates a Parents’Curriculum guide annually which is distributed to all parents, which allows parents to have advance knowledge about the weekly topics and gives ideas about activities linked to the weekly topics which parents can do at home with the children to provide continuity of learning.
Our teachers also produce Progress Portfolios on each child which includes evidence of how each child is achieving each EYFS objective for their age group. This evidence is formed through many different ways such as written observations, photos, group observations, videos, voice recordings etc.
We follow the EYFS framework to record and track children’s learning in the following ways:
Initial assessment
The class teacher creates an initial baseline assessment report for each child after their first few weeks at the Nursery.
Planning
Teachers plan activities and the ‘next step’ in the child’s development. Each week, they summarize the plan in a weekly planning sheet, which they share with the parents.
Assessment
Teachers assess each child’s learning journey regularly. Each assessment is recorded on the Daycare Channel App and maintained. That way, we can effectively track your child’s current learning vis-à-vis expected learning areas.
