Alphabet House’s Curriculum
Children’s joy and happiness is a big part of their learning. At Alphabet House, we encourage them to have fun as a part of their education, with child-led activities which are adapted to their abilities and interests.
The new Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) describes the time in your child’s life between birth and age 5. It is a very important stage, as it helps your child get ready for school as well as preparing them for their future learning and successes.
From the day your child is born up until the age of 5, their early years experience should be happy, active, exciting, fun and secure; and support their development, care and learning needs.
The new framework was revised to make it clearer and easier to use, with more focus on the things that matter the most. This new framework also has a greater emphasis on your role in helping your child develop.here
Your child will be learning skills, acquiring new knowledge and demonstrating their understanding through 7 areas of learning and development.
Children should mostly develop the 3 prime areas first:
- Communication and language
- Physical Development
- Personal, social and emotional development.
As your child grows, the prime areas will help them to develop skills in 4 specific areas:
- Literacy
- Mathematics
- Understanding the World
- Expressive arts and design
These 7 areas are used to plan your child’s learning and activities. Our staff who are teaching and supporting your child will make sure that the activities are suited to your child’s unique needs. This is a little bit like a curriculum in primary schools, but it’s suitable for very young children and it’s designed to be really flexible so that staff can follow your child’s unique needs and interests.
Children in the EYFS learn by playing and exploring, being active and through creative and critical thinking which takes place both indoors and outside.
Keeping You Updated
- Communication and language
- Physical Development
- Personal, social and emotional development.
Transition To School
It’s a huge progression moving from nursery to school and we want to ensure that this is as hassle free as possible for you and your child.
We work closely with the local schools and the extended community throughout your child’s time with us to ensure we make that transition as smooth as possible when the time comes.
