Our Centre continues to work diligently to become a digitally equipped team and nursery. We were involved in piloting the first Seesaw online learning journals for early years in Glasgow and were the first phase of Glasgow City Council’s iPad roll-out. Our Centre showcases that digital learning can take place prior to Primary School. There is a commitment across the staff teams to deliver a digital environment through all the playrooms, which cater for age groups from six weeks to five years.
We recently achieved Digital School status; the first in Glasgow and one of the few early years establishments in the whole of Scotland. We have also been supporting other early years establishments in their digital journey.
There has been a dramatic increase in parental engagement levels with the introduction of Apple iPads and the Seesaw App. Seesaw made adaptations to their app, creating a version which includes the Curriculum for Excellence experiences and outcomes to enables tracking of children’s learning and instant sharing with parents. This version of Seesaw is suitable for early years establishments across Scotland.
