The LAP is every child's dream home away from home. Happy children are active children and with our amalgamation of methodologies from traditional to modern, all learning is conducted with creativity and fun. Perspective Happy and active children are creative children who are willing to learn. All our programmes are designed to stimulate learning through the five senses; smell, touch, hear, taste and seeing. Cognitive stimulation of the mind is also important, and this is achieved through imagination, creative thinking, social interaction and most of all learning through play and fun. With a vast and varied teaching experience, we will be creating a learning environment based largely on the Montessori education principles. Fun, Learning, Friends and Creativity! Our community: At The Little Ashford Preschool ("The LAP"), we aim to offer the best learning exposure and environment to our children. To a large extent this is achieved by aiming for a teacher/assistant to children ratio of 1:10 on the upper end. For our younger group we feel that a ratio of 1:5 will enable us to provide the personal touch and care this group requires. This will be a gradual process which will gather steam as our establishment grows.
