Learning Through Play - Together
The purpose of our parent nursery school program is to best nurture the development of the young child through the magic of play, and to support parents in their understanding of the child’s development. Our curriculum embraces a play-based, child-centered approach, providing a fun and loving atmosphere for your child to develop self-esteem, stimulate the mind, learn cooperation, and nurture their personality. By using age appropriate materials and associating with children of similar age, a child's confidence grows. Through play, children learn about themselves and their world.
At Broadmoor we believe in:
Play as a learning tool
Respecting individual differences
The importance of interaction
A child-centered approach
