How your child learns
Lillian de Lissa is a child-centred nursery, which means that children spend much of their day engaged in self-directed learning. The majority of the day is free-flow, meaning children choose to engage in a range of different activities, indoors and outdoors. Children can work independently or with their friends, as well as taking part in adult facilitated activities that are planned from children's interests and developmental needs.

We believe that at this young age children learn best through a play-based curriculum, with support from our experienced staff team who engage with children in their play to support social interaction, language development and further learning opportunities.

We work flexibly and design each day to meet the changing needs of the children.

Key person
Your child will have a key person or sometimes two, their group leader who they can bond with. This relationship is important to the child as they can build trust and understanding with each other. Settling in can be made easier if there are regular routines and familiar faces.

The nursery school day
We have the same routine most days so that the children can feel secure with what is happening around them. Group times are where they can be comfortable talking to and learning about the other children. This is also where a great deal of planned teaching and learning takes place.

The learning environment
Our nursery environment consists of a large open plan work area, art studio, dining room, a nurture room for interventions and a well equipped outside play area where the staff and children all work together. The children can choose to be inside or outside throughout the day.

A great deal of the play materials available for the children to learn from are what we call 'open ended'. These are materials that have no designated purpose, therefore the child can use them however they imagine. This in itself is a great learning experience as they are making decisions, choices and actions independently.
