What happens on a Elements programme?

All our programmes have an overarching theme that we link some activities/ experiences/ snacks/ stories to over the programme. There is also always plenty of time to play in the great outdoors with our loose parts - think trees, hut building, mud, water play, imaginative games, bug collecting and more.

We keep our group sizes small with a good educator to child ratio. We spend time making connections and supporting all children's specific needs and interests. Programmes are designed for children to attend the whole programme to build upon experiences and relationships over the time. Each night a group learning story is written outlining what occurred over the day and some learning as well as photos.
