Preparation for Future Life

One of the main aims and benefits of holistic development in Early Years is preparing children for future life, especially with the move to primary school. Practitioners teach youngsters necessary skills for future life, such as independence, self-confidence and communication through a range of activities.

Whether they are learning how to work well in a team or come up with creative solutions to puzzles, children are given the time and space to develop confidence in themselves. Additionally, the holistic method of teaching at Early Years encourages kids to engage in the classroom, which is important for future life.

Support Mental Health

Children need support during this crucial point in their development to help reduce the chances of potential mental health issues becoming overwhelming in the future. There are several activities they can take part in at nursery that provide youngsters with a safe space to express their feelings.

Activities such as playing games and story time allow children to interact with others and find themselves through exploring their curiosity. Given the opportunity to identify and express their feelings, youngsters will also become more sensitive to the emotions of others.

A Wide Range of Activities

There are various activities children take part in at nursery that support a range of aspects of their development, including:

 

  • Nursery Sessions
  • English & Maths Lessons
  • Sensory Play
  • Nature Walks
  • Singing
  • Cooking

 

Whether they are learning the basics of English and Maths or learning more about the world around them on nature walks or through sensory play, there are so many benefits of holistic development in Early Years.
