Physical Development

This would include providing opportunities for young children to be active and interactive; and develop their co-ordination, control and movement. The children will also be taught the importance of physical activity and how to make healthy choices for their food.

Communication and Language

This curriculum encompasses giving children opportunities to experience a rich language environment, to further develop their confidence and skills in expressing themselves as well as using language to speak and listen in a wide range of situations.

Personal, Social and Emotional Development

This includes helping the children to develop a positive sense of themselves and others; to form positive relations and develop respect for their peers; and to be confident in their own abilities. Furthermore, we will help the children develop their social skills and learn how to manage their feelings appropriately in order to understand what behaviour is appropriate when in groups.

Extensive Art and Design

This involves enabling children to explore and play with a wide variety of media and materials, as well as providing opportunities and encouragement for sharing their thoughts, ideas and feelings through multiple activities in art, music, dance, role-play and design and technology.

Understanding the World

To guide children with attempts to make sense of the physical world around them and their communities by providing them with the opportunity to explore, observe and find out about people, places, technology and the environment.

Mathematics

Providing children with opportunities to develop and improve their skills in counting, understanding and using numbers, calculating simple addition and subtraction problems; and to describe shapes, spaces and measures.

Literacy
