Assisting early childhood learning at home.

Early childhood learning can be assisted by parents to help their child's early learning and acquire and develop their skills through a series of pre school activities. Early learning will benefit your child throughout their life.

At Mentis-XL we believe that part of the early learning you provide for your children should be a stimulating environment and a wide range of activities. This of necessity will center on the home environment and parental involvement.

We have therefore produced a programme to help your child development that should help them extend their skills through a range of pre school activities for the Early Years Foundation Stage (eyfs)(3-5 years).

How our programme works

Our early childhood learning programme is not based on reading, writing or arithmetic. Instead it centres on a structured series of activities to encourage the early development of movement skills, thinking skills, social skills in children aged three to five.

It may come as a shock but more than half the children entering school (nursery or reception) do not have the expected motor skills - they lack co-ordination, perception and balance. This is a serious matter especially as there is some evidence that lack of motor skills is also accompanied by an increase in hyperactivity.

Our programme therefore starts off with a motor assessment so you can see how your child should be developing before offering structured tasks and activities to correct and improve co-ordination.

On our website is information relating to this programme and a sample video showing the type of exercises we are trying to encourage parents to try.
