Will you choose to send your child back to Nursery post COVID-19 ?
Early Years
Foundation Stages: Pre-schoolers
What to do next? Will you choose to send your child back to Nursery / Pre-school education or will you happily continue to home school your child?
With the advent of Covid-19 the
future of children’s education in the Early years foundation stages has altered
direction amidst ongoing health and safety concerns. Previously parents were skeptical about the
benefits of homeschooling children under the ages of five via conventional
curriculum at home. Educational
providers were similarly skeptical about the benefits of homeschool online
education for such young children and the impact of screen time.
Many parents are returning to work
and have huge concerns about how to meet childcare requirements and their
child’s early years developmental needs which were previously combined in
nursery environments.
However, as humans and educators we
have learned to evolve to meet the next generation expectations and deliverable's.
HalaKids a pioneer in home care and
home schooling services, has remodelled
traditional classroom learning for under fives in new directions and embraced
the homeschooling requests of many thousands of parents across the UAE. HalaKids now offers an alternative choice
for those who do not plan to place their children back in Early years settings (nurseries,
pre-schools) and instead have the choice to follow a less traditional approach
to educating children. HalaKids dynamic plan is to provide early years
learning from the comfort and safety of family homes with qualified Nanny- teaching
assistants.
Homeschooling under a British Early
Years Foundation Stage curriculum does not have to always be screen led. Program can be limited to short blocks of ten
minutes, with lots of activities set that allow a child’s creative, physical,
social, communication and problem-solving development to be met at home away
from the screen.
HalaKids specialises in recruiting experienced,
skilled + degree educated teaching assistants to deliver home schooling.
Carefully screened, they deliver children fantastic early years learning
experience.
HalaKids Qualified Nannies who
specialise in EYFS Nanny-Teaching Assistant are all trained, mentored and
monitored by British certified teachers who provide live program online .
Each Family deciding to home school,
has a personal Nanny-teaching assist at home, and a British qualified teacher
online. Both providing for your child’s learning and development.
Teachers set individual Early years lessons
for the child to complete, mirroring the classroom environment and standards
set to help children reach their developmental milestones.
Activities are set to the child’s
attention span, age and stage of development and include lots of activities that
the teaching assistant will support the child to do away from screens. Activities are child led, creative and based
on their interest. The teacher is able to track the child’s development and
learning and frequent consultation between the assistant and teacher ensuring
the child’s developmental needs are being met.
Activities such as sand and water
play and a range of sensory play materials are all easily accessed at home. For
example, playdough can be made, shaving foam and clay can all be accessed at
home. Construction play activities using household objects such as building
blocks, toilet roll tubes and cereal boxes allow children to build and learn
about shapes. Music and movement
activities can be carried out with a personalised dance tutor in the form of
the teaching assistant. Numbers, shapes,
colours’ and tracing activities can all be supplied with activities that are
play based and fun in place. Story time, circle time and all areas that were
previously supplied in nurseries are now brought to the home. All of
the subjects reinforce the child’s learning on a one-to-one support basis and
allow the child to thrive at home.
Smaller group size social play
classes are planned when the Covid-19 measures are relaxed, and when the
temperatures are cooler for some afternoon outdoor activities in communal
areas, children can also keep in touch with peers online and their class teacher via
short interactive lessons for learning, all supported by a qualified assistant.
The above model allows parents to
feel reassured that qualified Early years staff are delivering a range of
activities daily to support their child in developmental play and
learning. There is also the added
benefit of having a full time nanny-assistant teacher from 7/8am to 5/6pm for
full time working parents all of whom are currently really struggling.
Halakids also provides parents with
an APP that will deliver reporting and progress or milestones achieved in real
time, and ensure greater communication between parents, teachers and
Nanny-assistant teachers.
All aspects of your child’s needs
are met during working hours and parents essentially have a full-time nanny+ teaching
assistant combined in one, with added support of home-schooling program with
qualified teachers. In uncertain times
this provides a winning solution for all families currently affected by Covid-19
with a solution focused approach to both childcare and learning in the Early year’s
foundation stages.
