Early Years Educator Apprenticeship Level 3

Mara Nursery

At Mara Nursery they know that young children are naturally active, curious, and constantly on the move, learning with every experience and play opportunity. In fact, the most important learning that takes place in this stage of development comes through child’s play. Children are constantly on the move, exploring their world with ebullience, curiosity, and with endless energy. At Mara Nursery they feel that a child’s capacity for learning in this stage is enormous and they learn and develop from every experience, relationship, and adventure they encounter. Having the space and opportunity to explore objects and play environments help children develop their imagination and master the motor, cognitive, language, and social skills that are essential for future development. At Mara Nursery your child will experience a variety of indoor and outdoor activities, planned by a qualified and experienced staff team.

It is very important that each child is met as an individual human being, which develops in his/her own special way and that we see the child’s unique potential for processing information in specific ways. They will always do our best to ensure that the children are learning in a happy, safe, fun and positive environment
