The Sunshine Room offers an open plan layout and caters for children from 2.5-5 years old.

It operates free choice system where children are free to choose their learning. Staff members extend this

learning by offering planned opportunities, by supplying suitable resources, and are responsive to the

children's needs, taking children's views and choices into consideration when planning topics.

 

The curriculum used is "A Curriculum for Excellence" from The Scottish Government. It seeks to establish

the values, purposes and principles of education in Scotland for children between 3 and 18 years old.

The aspirations of this curriculum are to enable all children to develop their capacities as successful learners,

confident individuals, responsible citizens and effective contributors to society.

 

The starting point for learning is taking forward child's previous experiences and achievements, their interests

and the individual ways in which they learn.

 

Within the Sunshine Room each child has their own individual learning profile in which their key worker

will document and record their progress and development. Staff members observe daily during play

and opportunities to create a learning plan for listening and talking time for each individual child.
