Our over 3 year old routine
Our readiness to school program
In collaboration with a highly skilled and experienced teacher, we have designed a comprehensive pre-school program.
This program is tailored to enhance our children’s literacy and mathematical abilities while simultaneously fostering crucial social and emotional skills such as concentration, active listening, respect for others, and appropriate communication.
Our established structured daily routine to support our children’s learning and development
This approach not only facilitates a smooth transition to formal education but also ensures that our children are well-prepared for the academic challenges that lie ahead. Throughout the day, there will be various learning sessions focusing on literacy and mathematics. These will be combined with engaging activities such as stories, rhymes, and songs to enhance language and vocabulary as well as play, allowing children to grasp concepts like numbers and spatial awareness, fostering a positive attitude toward maths as they grow.
Phonics sessions in English, while mathematics sessions will be taught in both languages.
We employ a government-validated systematic synthetic phonics teaching program that emphasises lowercase letter recognition and early writing. In mathematics, we delve into the fundamental concepts of numbers, shapes, patterns, and positional language.
To achieve this, we work hand in hand with our parents who can continue supporting the children’s learning at home.
Nourishing meals prepared by expert chefs
At Raphael Nursery, we ensure the highest quality of the meals for our little ones:
Highly qualified and passionate about food, they will ensure that the meals are cooked to the highest standards, with the freshest ingredients, and respecting the children’s nutritional requirements for growth and development.
They prepare all the meals on site fresh every day, and each Menu is updated regularly to ensure they highlight the best taste across the seasons. No birthday go unnoticed at Raphael’s Nursery!
Freshly cooked meals
Nutrition matters, all meals are carefully balanced and include the right amount proteins, carbohydrates, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals. In addition, our snacks are fruit snacks and always the freshest.
Montessori approach
We believe in the Montessori approach applied to meals as it fosters independence, self-reliance, and a positive relationship with food. Children are involved in setting up the table, and cleaning up afterward, this helps them develop a sense of responsibility and ownership over their meals. The meals are served family-style, where children can serve themselves and others, fostering a sense of community and cooperation.
A taste of international
We are a diverse team, and so are our children. We like to give them a taste of international cuisines and explore different taste always adapted to their age group including Ratatouille with eggplant, zucchini and peppers or Tagine with root vegetables, and Pumpkin soup, or lentil stew.
