Which Provides an opportunity for all
children to flourish bilingually will not only
increase their chances of employment as
adults but will also provide an opportunity
to experience the culture and heritage of
Wales. The focus of its work is to improve
the life chances for the children in its care.
This including supporting and developing
the Welsh language skills of children from
Welsh speaking backgrounds and through
introducing the Welsh language to children
who come from non-Welsh speaking
backgrounds.
By introducing a new language during the
pre-school years this is the most effective
way for children to become bilingual, which
in the future will increase opportunities of
employment when they become adults.
We work closely with local authority
to ensure that staff complete training to
upskill and to provide high quality provision.
We plan our activities by assessing and
planning so that we meet the need for each
child. Each child is monitored to identify
any individual support is needed to meet
the needs of the child.
Referral are made by us to the Local
Authority to provide individual support for
the target children.|
