High Scope – Learning Through Play

At Over the Rainbow we have adapted the High Scope Approach towards the care and education of your children. It is an approach that is used internationally in a variety of settings including day care, play groups, nurseries and primary schools.

The main thrust behind the High Scope Approach highlights the fact that all children are active learners from birth and that in order to develop to their full potential the infants require a welcoming, child orientated physical environment, with daily routines that can be adapted and modified to suit their needs.

High Scope provides children with:

• A daily routine which works for them.
• Opportunities to choose, plan and talk about their activities.
• Appropriate activities which emphasise the process of play and early learning.
• Adults who are responsive to their needs and interests.
• A holistic approach to development and learning.
