PHILOSOPHY AND CURRICULUM

Our school seamlessly blends the EYFS curriculum with the Reggio Emilia Philosophy, placing a robust focus on project-based emergent learning. Educational instructions unfold through small or large group projects, offering children opportunities to explore, observe, hypothesize, wonder, question, and discuss their investigations.

 

Our curriculum is dynamic, emerging from children’s interests, community needs, and observations. Each project evolves from questions and curiosities, progressively unfolding as we delve into specific topics with the children.

Projects encompass various dimensions and disciplines
Cognitive

We value the learning process over product-oriented results, emphasizing continuous observation and assessment.

Perceptive and Physical

All senses are engaged in our projects, creating an immersive, aesthetically pleasing environment that defines the quality of the space.

Emotional

Learning involves emotional engagement and motivation; we recognize there’s no learning without emotional involvement.

Relational

Children collaborate, question, and challenge each other, fostering cooperation and collaboration. “Brainstorming” is pivotal at every stage.

Our highly qualified teachers ensure that each child reaches developmental milestones and discovers joy in learning. We blend group and individual activities to provide a well-rounded balance of skills and experiences. Our overarching goal is to cultivate a love for learning, problem-solving, experimentation, and inquisitiveness, laying a solid foundation for your child’s future.
