Early Years, Preschool & School Readiness Programmes

What are our early years & preschool programmes?

Play with Purpose starts children’s learning journey from 2 years of age with creative and fun lessons that build on children’s natural curiosity. Supported by parents, children are introduced to literacy, numbers, craft, science and music through fun and interactive activities. They are also strengthening their fine and gross motor skills, learning to share and build their social skills.

Our Enriched Learning programmes align with the Early Years Frameworks giving young children a balanced introduction to learning and early exposure to maths, literacy, and social skills by engaging with well-known children’s books.

Begin Bright also has our flagship Maths and Literacy programmes designed to focus on developing these essential skills. This programme is ideal for children who are more confident with their learning and wish to progress their mathematics and literacy fundamentals.

Begin Bright programmes incorporate synthetic phonics so that when a child arrives at the stage of decoding words, the words can then be broken into small pieces (e.g., b-ea-ch). This approach gives children more success when starting to read, and they reach words that they cannot identify through context and appearance alone. All of our programmes are designed to be enjoyable and give kids the absolute best start to their education.

Please contact your nearest location to enquire about the range of programmes that they run and to book a free trial class.

This programme not only concentrates on the traditional learning focuses of colours, shapes and numbers but also looks at understanding concepts such as seasons and weather, positioning of items, people in our communities and how their body works. Hands-on activities help develop their gross and fine motor skills and build their social skills as they interact with other children and adults. This gives children confidence when they go to kindergarten, preschool or the next level of the Begin Bright programmes.

Each lesson includes

• Storytime with a well-known children’s book
• Music or nursery rhymes
• Arts and craft activities
• Literacy and numeracy
• Fine and gross motor activities or play-based activities

Parents are encouraged to assist their little learners in completing the activities and sharing in their education journey.

Where to next?

Once children have completed the 2 – 3 years programme, they can then move into our 3 – 4 years programme as they start to prepare to transition to school. Children usually participate in this programme two years before they start school, and it helps lay the foundations for a life-long love of learning.

Maths and Literacy Programme

Our flagship programme aligns with national school curriculums. A combination of group, one on one, and independent work are encouraged to introduce children to learning concepts that will help them successfully and confidently transition to school.

This programme is workbook based and includes a concentration on the fundamentals of maths and literacy (reading, writing and oral language) skills. It also incorporates activities to develop pencil grip and hand-eye co-ordination to support the preparation for writing.

Incorporating synthetic phonics, children learn to identify sound formations as letters, recognise sounds in words, and write words containing the sounds.

Once they are in the 4 – 5 years programme, we focus on blending sounds – single sounds at the beginning, end, and middle of three-letter words giving them a great head start to school and boosting confidence in future learning.
