Early Learning

At Teepee Day Nursery, we focus on play-based activities rather than formal writing in early years, allowing children to develop essential motor skills and core strength at their own pace. This approach builds a strong foundation for confident writing when they’re ready. Read more about our early literacy philosophy in our latest blog!
