The Yellow Group – “Unity and Communication”
The ethos of the yellow group is Unity and Communication. In our classroom we create an atmosphere that allows our children to feel free to express themselves and this gives us an idea of their different personalities and preferred methods of learning. This is of vital importance, as each child learns through various methods. Some may be more visual learners and some may prefer the auditory learning style.
In the yellow group, our daily routine is structured to enable the learners to have a day conducive to learning. We have allocated times to focus on each area of development equally. Our day begins with our morning ring leading into our Cognitive play followed by a Literacy lesson, Mathematics lesson, Art lesson and Life skills and our day ends off with story time.
Diversity
Young children need teachers who welcome all children to their classrooms, including children from various cultures, whose first language is not English and children who have disabilities. Lilliput Learners employs teachers who understand the physical, emotional, and psychological growth that children go through.
Play Areas
Play is important, our teachers know know when to teach directly, when to provide time for exploration and discovery, when to practice skills, and when to encourage creativity through play.
Qualified
Child care and preschool teacher qualifications greatly determine the quality of education for the children. Lilliput Learners employs fully qualified ECD teachers and assistants to ensure your child is set to succeed. We also look for passion, patience, creativity, flexibility and dedication from our teachers.
Patience
To be a teaching professional one requires patience and the ability to handle each challenge with an open mind. My teaching approach is quite flexible, as I adapt my teaching strategies to include all my learners simply because every lesson needs to be at a level of the child’s understanding
Practical
All new concepts that are introduced should have a practical component for the learners to relate to and link their everyday lives. At Lilliput Learners, a simple game or role play activity is implemented with every lesson, so that the information taught will enable the child to apply their new knowledge to the practical activity at hand.
Learning
Our teachers take time to work with your child individually, in small groups, and sometimes with the entire class–to help them develop their cognitive and social skills, their language abilities, and their interest in learning new things about the world.
