Sunnylea teachers situate the child in the centre of the educational responsibility. The teacher and the school must support each child.
There should be a bond between the teacher, the child, its peers and the curriculum. The teacher assists in the development of the child and accompanies, leads, supports and encourages the journey of the child towards intellectual autonomy.
Parents and Carers as Partners
The staff at Sunnylea believe that children benefit the most when parents and staff work together in partnership to ensure quality care and learning for the children.
It is the policy of the school to give a warm welcome to each child on their arrival.
Parents/cares and taxi drivers are requested to pass the care of their child to a specific member of staff who will ensure his/her safety, and that their attendance is recorded in the register ( this is must be done by a child’s class teacher).
Psychomotor Education was included into the school curriculum in 2010 and every child attends weekly sessions at no extra cost.
