Kindergarten

Personal, Social and Emotional Development

These focus on the child’s development of self-confidence, self-awareness, forming relationships with their peers and teachers, and understanding how to control their feelings and behaviours.

Communication and Language Development

Through this, children begin to interact collaboratively with their peers and with familiar adults.

They begin to develop their communication skills through playing and using language to communicate their thoughts and feelings.

Physical Development

At Hampton’s, we encourage our children to develop their physical skills through daily activities.

A part of which is to be active and interactive, both inside and outside their classrooms.

Our teachers focus on the improvement of skills in coordination, control, manipulation, and movement.

Through physical activity using multi- sensory experience in outdoor and indoor environments, links between cognitive development and movement are enhanced.

Literacy

As a child progresses through our curriculum, there is an increased focus placed on letter and sound recognition interweaved with teaching the first stages of writing and reading.

Expressive Arts and Design

Teachers provide a balance of skill-based art activities as well as open-ended child-initiated art and crafts.

Our children also have the opportunity to perform at special events throughout the year at Hampton School.
