Among our key objectives at Stepping Stones Childcare Centre is the aim to provide children with a wide range of opportunities and resources to allow them to experience, explore and experiment in all areas of learning.
Staff believe that babies should not be restricted in their access to sand, water and paint. These materials are presented appropriately, with due regard for health and safety issues.
Planning for continuity
Staff from the baby room (0-two years) and toddler room (two to three years) hold regular meetings to discuss their practice, identifying successful aspects and those requiring modification. We aim for continuity in our approach, so we ensure that babies become familiar with sand in various forms before progressing to more challenging sand play in the toddler room.
