The Early Years’ curriculum focuses on learning through play and our school provides a safe and secure environment where children are encouraged to express themselves and develop confidence. To instill a culture of life-long learning, our students take a book home for reading everyday from the school library. Parents are encouraged to read with the children everyday. Both in and outside of the classroom, activities are carefully planned to promote the following key learning objectives:
1. Knowledge and Understanding of the World – our teachers will introduce study topics which will allow students to learn through exploration and creative play.
2. Communication and Language Skills – the early years curriculum build foundations on mastery of basic listening, speaking and literacy skills including letters and sound recognition, simple reading and writing.
3. Numeracy Skills – the curriculum is purposefully structured to promote learning and understanding of numbers and their relationship.
4. Social and Emotional Development – a significant portion of the curriculum and school setting focus on the development of our students’ social and emotional skills. Activities are arranged to allow for collaborative learning and emphasis is placed on personal development.
5. Creative Development – art is an important instrument used by our teachers to promote learning. Our students explore each topic under study through art, music and play. Additionally, children in Preparatory and Pre-Prep will be taught Music by our specialist music teacher.
6. Physical Development – our curriculum is organised to provide excellent opportunity for mastery of basic fine and gross motor skills, including beading, cutting, writing, balancing, jumping, bouncing, etc.
