Is pre-school the best way to describe the year before school? - 28-06-09 07:57
by: purepurple
I have decided I don't like the term 'pre-school' as it suggests that everything we do is just preparation for school. I feel that this time is an important stge in it's own right, with lots to experience and learn.
Children are not 'pre' anything, they are in their present stage of development. Their early years are as important, if not more important, than school.
So, what can I call my pre-school room?
What do you call yours?
I know reception classes are noe being referred to as Foundation Units, which I like. The whole nursery follows the Early Years Foundation Stage , so I can't call it the Foundation Room.
Any ideas?
