Story House / Curiosity & care
Every day has a story.
Books, making and shared discoveries in an early-years design concept that gives families clear information before a visit.
The story of a day
Give the ordinary day a clear outline.
Families should be able to picture the arrival, the activities and how information is shared at the end of the day. Those details make a visit more useful.
Bring questions about routines, food, rest and support needs. Ask to see the setting’s policies and registration information, then take time to consider what you have learned.
