Curriculum for Children from 4- 6 years
The Early Childhood curriculum is based on the principle that every child is a capable and enthusiastic learner who has already explored many aspects of the world. Developing social and emotional skills lays the foundation for children to fully benefit from their learning experiences.
Teachers are tasked with creating an environment filled with opportunities that support each child’s emotional, intellectual, and physical growth.
A key objective is to recognise and enhance each child’s unique potential while helping them understand the benefits and responsibilities of being part of a group.
Together, we cultivate a community of learners.
Essential goals:
Languages
The language arts program focuses on speaking, listening, reading, and writing, building on children’s existing knowledge while introducing new concepts.
The key components include:
- Development of speaking and listening skills through games, songs, discussions and play.
- Creation of a print-rich environment with various reading and writing materials.
- Interaction with print through read-alouds, book sharing, and writing activities.
- Emphasis on understanding literacy as an emerging process, focusing on skills like letter-sound relationships, sequencing, and invented spelling.
First graders engage in independent, partner, and group reading, with tailored instruction to enhance comprehension through discussions and writing about what they read.
