We have a holistic curriculum, which we believe it is ambitious, broad and balanced to meet the needs of all children. We have high aspirations for all of our children.
The Curiosity Approach drives our Early Years curriculum.
What is the Curiosity Approach?
The clue is in the name – to ignite a child’s natural curiosity to explore the world around them.
- Instead of directing children, and telling them what to do, the curiosity approach is based on child-led learning.
- Children make their own choices, and figure things out for themselves which leads to enhanced confidence, critical thinking, and problem solving skills.
- Create children who are ‘thinkers and doers’ instead of passive learners who simply follow the direction of an adult.
- They are in charge of their own development and choose activities which play to their own interests
We offer a well-ordered and beautiful environment in which the children can choose from all seven learning areas of the curriculum. We follow the interests and pace of the child and allow them the space to develop in their own unique way.
How does the Curiosity Approach help children develop?
Children will be supported to develop skills that will be relevant to them, growing up in an ever-changing world.
These include:
- Independent thinking
- Stronger non-verbal communication
- Language and verbal communication
- Problem-solving
- Lifelong learning
- Risk taking
- Imagination
- Respect for resources and the natural world
- Creative and critical thinking
