Where children have fun, be happy, feel safe and grow in confidence

Early Years Foundation Stage

Focusing on purposeful play, active learning, creativity, and critical thinking.

The main goal of our Early Childhood Programme is to create a community of passionate young people who have been provided with a strong educational foundation that can support them as they embark on lifetime learning journeys.

About Our Curriculum

In Early Childhood we want our children to have fun, be happy, feel safe, and grow in confidence.

Children in the our Early Childhood programme follow the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum (EYFS). The curriculum focuses on a balance between adult and child led activities. These opportunities and experiences are planned to meet children’s learning needs and their interests. We provide a combination of creating experiences and learning opportunities through play both indoor and outside as well as direct teaching.

/ Our Objective

In Early Childhood, we want our children to explore using all their senses and enjoy learning.

From your first day with us, your children will become part of a caring classroom community where every child is a valued member. Each day begins with a Morning Meeting that welcomes every child individually, and brings us all closer together. Each Early Childhood classroom ends the school day with a closing circle where students get to share what they have experienced and learnt during the day.

‍

Our aim here is to ensure teachers and parents work closer together to better progress each child's academic and social development through the sharing of information, concerns, hopes, and plans.

Group 2 (Ages 18 Months - 2 Years)

This is a hugely important stage for your child’s learning, and it’s a really fun one too. At this stage of their learning, your child will be mainly learning through play-based activities. They will also be learning about routine and developing early literacy and maths skills, learning about the world around them and learning social skills.

The Importance of Play
This year your child will begin to learn by doing things for themselves, by exploring and investigating, watching and listening, talking and discussing, creating, and communicating – in other words, playing.Play is children’s work and playing hard is very tiring! Play can also be very messy as your child will be learning both inside with sand, water and paint, and also in the outdoors with mud, leaves and so on, so you can expect some mucky clothes at the end of the day.
