Assisting early childhood learning at home.

Parents can assist in early childhood learning to help their child's early learning and acquire and develop their skills. Early childhood learning will benefit your child throughout their life.

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

We have therefore produced a programme to help early childhood learning of development that should help them extend their skills through a range of activities in the Early Years Foundation Stage.

How our early childhood learning 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 learning 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 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.
