About Sunshine Hours center for learning

It is a progressive learning space where through our ‘Language Enrichment Program’ your children will find the space and freedom to nurture their creativity, imagination and problem solving abilities.

The focus of our learning centre will be to provide children with specific goal directed activities to build their core language and literacy skills as they are the foundation for all future learning.

Unlike classrooms children here will benefit from collaborating with peers of different ages, learning needs and styles. This will ensure their social and emotional development.

Differentiation

Differentiation is one of the means by which children of all abilities and learning styles can access and learn from the structure of a common curriculum shared with their peers. It involves the modification and matching of curriculum objectives, teaching and assessment methods, learning activities and resources to pupils' individual abilities, educational needs and learning styles in a social learning context.

Through differentiation of the common curriculum pupils can access, share and learn from the same overall curriculum as their age peers in the same classrooms, provided teachers differentiate for them.

The gift of dyslexia!

Dyslexia is a condition that does not need curing, but rather a greater understanding of the different capabilities and skills it can provide to those who have it. I hope that understanding more about the creative and intuitive benefits of dyslexia will allow educators and parents, as well as dyslexic children, to see dyslexia not as a disability, but as a gift. I want to try and bring this attitudinal change in as many parents and teachers as I come across.
