Dairsie Kindergarten We are a ”Smile Too Nursery”. All Kindergarten children brush their teeth once during the school day. Brushes are provided by the school. We support children's learning in a variety of ways. Learning Outcomes are in line with national and local guidelines. We follow the 3-5 Curriculum and take into account the Curriculum for Excellence. We seek to monitor the curriculum delivery and content through a systematic approach or self-evaluation based in the Child at the Centre 2 document. All experiences we offer children, which are so important for their development, are underpinned by the guidelines provided.
Children have lots of opportunities for physical activity in a variety of ways. Every day the children are outside in the playground for at least 20 minutes' active play. There are opportunities for developing skills on bikes and scooters, to play games, climb on the logs and play with others or have a quiet time with their own thoughts.
The main thrust of the curriculum delivery is in the morning but Kindergarten children can remain all day if parents require it. Some comments and feelings about Kindergarten: "I love to play football." | |||||

At Dairsie, our Kindergarten is a happy, lively and friendly place to be. The playroom is bright and airy and overlooks the large outdoor area and colourful playground. 
Children are supported in a small friendly environment. The maximum number of children in the playroom is 17. Good pupil staff ratios ensure the children can all feel at home very quickly in their intimate setting. Children are supported and encouraged by staff who take time to listen to their needs and those of their family. 
The children have PE, Music and French from specialist teachers during the week.
