Learning Ladder Nurseries JLT – News April 2021

“Development can only take place when children are actively involved, when they are occupied with a high, non-stop degree of concentration, when they are interested, when they give themselves completely, when they use all their mental abilities to invent and make new things and when this gives them a high degree of satisfaction and pleasure.” Ferre Laevers

Dear parents,
It gives Learning Ladder nurseries in JLT  immense pleasure to contribute to the April Newsletter. I would like to thank the wonderful team of teachers who took the initiative to celebrate students learning with the parents throughout term two, and I look forward to working with them in term 3.

It has been a privilege to observe your children taking delight and showing curiosity in their world supported by committed staff who place welfare, wellbeing, and learning at the heart of all interactions.

Please look out for Seesaw posts, you make a difference to your children’s developmental progress, if you write a comment. I encourage you to go to comments under your child’s journal section and use “TAG” protocol, our nursery-wide critique process. It is a very quick formative way to say, “Hey, this is what you did great, and here are your next steps”. Following the “TAG” protocol to write your feedback will enable us to improve our teaching and learning process.
T: Tell us something you really liked.
A: Ask us a thoughtful question.
G: Give us a positive suggestion.

Drop off time: this is a kind request to bring your children to the nursery maximum by 8:30 am every day. Having them arriving late is disruptive to the children’s learning time.

Infection control: COVID-19 is still amidst us, we at LLNP are following a strict infection control policy,

Learning Ladder Nurseries JLT News February 2021

“Art is the most intense mode of individualism that the world has known” Oscar Wilde.

February at Learning Ladder Nurseries JLT  was the busiest month so far this year, it went by so fast that we could not send our newsletter on time. What kept the nursery so electrified with activity was not just the busy calendar of events – teddy bear picnic, Chinese new year, hearts day, artists day, sports day practice and half term – but also slightly higher rates of illness amongst children, leaving us little time after illness policy implementation work. We are relieved to mention that in the second week of March, we at Learning Ladder Nurseries JLT were all back on track. Children were all symptom free and attending nursery again. Thank you parents for your cooperation to help us maintain the highest safety for all at the nursery.

Walking around the nursery in JLT, I have noticed wonderful changes in the children who started just a few weeks ago. I see smiling faces walking in, great independent work in the class rooms, much greater self-expression through speech development and art. Children’s art displayed on the walls made me wonder, as always, at children’s lack of approval seeking expression. If there is any art that is for art’s sake, to use the very famous expression, it is children’s art. Children in their freedom and innocence produce the most original art. Their art is a depiction purely of their individual self, uncontaminated as yet by societal norms. I hope you enjoy looking at your child’s art at home as much as I enjoy looking at it in the nursery.

That is all from me. Please find a list of upcoming key events under. We always post the month’s calendar on our notice board outside the main entrance,
