Our teaching methods are based on ABA. Our Curriculum is the Aistear with a strong Steiner influence also.
I always promote the outdoors prompting health and well being so children can enjoy all kinds of sensory and messy play.
Every child is different and obviously has different needs and abilities so we tailor and adapt activities to suit the children, building on their strengths and interests and then, can set goals.
As children settle in to Ardú, build relationships with teachers and other children, interests change and develop. Strong communication with parents and what we observe the children doing or not doing helps to inform planning.
Lots of emphasis on social skills, communication ( using lots of visual aids, verbal prompts , repetition,..clear concise words and of course modelling clear speech on a continuous basis.
We do a mixture of group and individual activities, taking into consideration how a child is on a particular day. If for instance a child hasn't slept well, they may choose not to participate in music activities, may want to be in a quieter space, have a rest, a cuddle. My Nursing skills are invaluable also.
We use music on a daily basis for enjoyment, developing gross motor skills , balance, emotional regulation, communication, developing speech, attention and listening skills.
Music is powerful and has huge benefits in all our lives.
We communicate with parents on a daily basis both verbally and WhatsApp. We celebrate children's success and progress and excitedly share with parents. The most important thing is that each child is happy. If a child is happy, they will blossom.
I support and guide parents in many areas of their child's development, especially toilet training, helping with sensory overload, nutrition, to name but a few, and also suggest strategies .
Most children have recommendations on their report from psychologist, Speech and Language Therapist, OT. We work on all recommendations to the best of our ability.
