At The Woods Welcome

At the Woods is a Play School run from home. It was established in 2016 by Ms Belinda Attwood. Ms Attwood has worked in a pre-school environment since 2007. She has her Bachelor of Education in Foundation Phase as well as her Honours in Educational Management.
​
During the schools establishment and equipment choice, great attention was given to each childs' needs by consulting an Occupational Therapist (OT) who advised us on equipment choice so as to ensure optimal stimulation for your childs’ development. During the course of each school week our OT will pop in to do fun activities with your child, these will be shared for home extensions.
​
Our goal is to ensure your child has fun while learning. We will promote this by making sure they feel safe and secure at all times, allowing them to express themselves freely. We believe in developing the whole child through play (emotionally, socially, physically and intellectually).
​
Whether it be indoors or outdoors, each daily activity is carefully planned to help your child learn, grow and develop all necessary skills. We also have a new theme every 2 weeks where we focus on specific materials and resources.
​
Some fun activities include:
-baking -musical instrument rings
-clay/play dough modelling -obstacle courses
-ball skills -creative art activities
-messy play -mini car track
There will be special days when mom/dad/granny or grandpa (someone special) can attend.
