EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION

The Early Years programme offers a holistic and play-way approach that focuses on the whole child and their development. The aim of Early Years education is to provide a strong foundation for all-around development and lifelong learning. The programme is built on the five key principles: Experience, Active, Balance, Play and Transition.
Early Years curriculum is designed to promote progression in learning from Nursery to Early Years 2 and later into primary education. It allows the development of knowledge, understanding and skills through a spiral approach.
The curriculum provides a structure for teaching and learning in three stages: Nursery, Early Years 1 (EY1) and Early Years 2 (EY2).
The curriculum content is divided into six subject areas:
1. Communication, language & literacy
2. Creative expression
3. Mathematics
4. Personal, social & emotional development
5. Physical development
6. Understanding the world

VIEW OF THE CHILD

Young children take in all that they see around them and that’s what makes the early formative years so very important. We conceptualize an image of the child as competent, strong, inventive and full of ideas with rights instead of needs. They express their ideas through art, music, play, storytelling, writing, drawing etc

ROLE OF THE TEACHER

Learning is a social process based on trust, respect and encouragement. A teacher is an observer, supporter and guide that brings wisdom and thoughtfulness to the child’s unique social and intellectual exploration. Teachers help children connect the dots and support the ever-expanding web of knowledge.
