Bright Sparks approach to teaching
We use an approach called In the Moment Planning (Anna Ephgrave) This involves taking each moment of a child’s curiosity and turning it into an activity and teachable moment. This approach is also blended with some planned and inspired theme opportunities which reflect the rhythm of the year for celebrations, festivals and community activities.
Bright Sparks Curriculum
The aims of the Bright Sparks Curriculum are made up of the below.
Bright Sparks has regard for Development Matters Government curriculum guidance for The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) This is used to deliver the EYFS learning and development requirements through play-based activities.
As a team the children are supported to work towards or beyond our Bright Sparks Pre-school Aspirations within their key rooms. We use a golden thread of learning from our youngest to our eldest learners using the pre-school aspirations as a guide across all rooms and a key person and whole team approach.
We offer a continuous provision with Bright Sparks Core Resource’s, Environment and Experiences
We support each child to have embedded skills within the Bright Sparks Curricular goals during their time with us reaching their full potential.
