Pre Primary Curriculum
The IEYC ( International Early Years Curriculum) is a comprehensive, research informed and evidence based curriculum, recognising global best practice and the developmental needs of 3-6 year olds. It supports key areas of learning through holistic enquiry and play-based approaches encompassing all curriculum areas including personal, social and emotional development.
The IEYC process of learning captures children’s natural curiosity as a starting point and within the proper environment balances child-initiated and teacher-guided learning.
Play is an essential element of learning in the early years and students will have access to indoor and outdoor learning environments.
The seven Foundations of the International Curriculum are applied specifically to the early years context underpinning all learning :
- Child focused dimensions of learning and development
- A progressive pedagogy
- A process to facilitate learning for all
- Globally competent learners
- Knowledge, skills and understanding are learned, taught and assessed differently
- Connected learning
- Reflective practices for improving learning
