Nursery Life

Learning Environment Design

Abbotsford Preparatory School nurtures children in their early years, starting from just four months old. The nursery’s design emphasizes a family-like atmosphere that encourages development and fosters a sense of security. Parents are regarded as partners in this journey, which helps harmonize childcare and family life. Individual attention plays a pivotal role, as each child receives specialized support to nurture their unique interests and growth opportunities.

Daily Schedule and Activities

The day begins promptly at 7:30 am, with cheerful greetings from the staff. Once all children arrive, they settle into spaces designated for their small groups, guided by key workers. The morning unfolds with a hearty breakfast, followed by circle time, where children engage in songs and register their attendance. Sessions filled with fun activities, aligned with developmental milestones, are planned to suit the distinctive needs and preferences of each child.

Nourishing Meals Provided

Mealtimes at Abbotsford Preparatory School prioritize health and nutrition, offerng home-cooked lunches made from locally sourced ingredients. The nursery operates a thoughtfully crafted three-week menu, ensuring variety and excitement in meals served. In addition to lunch, children enjoy a nutritious afternoon snack. This healthy approach to food aims to fuel energetic play and support each child’s growth effectively.

Rest and Relaxation

During the day, children experience dedicated nap time in a tranquil environment. Each child has their own bed, accompanied by calming music to aid relaxation. For those who have outgrown napping, supervised activities provide engaging alternatives. The focus on both rest and recreation allows children to recharge, ensuring they are prepared for afternoon adventures and fun activities.

Engaging Afternoon Adventures

Post-nap, kids gather for a delightful snack followed by a mix of structured and free play in the great outdoors. Activities cater to various interests, promoting physical activity and social interaction. The nursery operations extend until 6:00 pm, allowing time for children to unwind and reflect on their day before heading home, filled with stories of exciting adventures and new friendships.
