LEARNING EXPERIENCE
At Aerokids, learning grows with the child.
From 6 months to 6 years, our programmes are thoughtfully designed to meet children where they are and support them as they grow. Through a Reggio Emilia-inspired, child-led approach and the EYFS framework, children learn through play, exploration, relationships, and meaningful experiences.
Each stage offers age-appropriate opportunities for children to develop their communication, physical, social-emotional, cognitive, and creative abilities—while building curiosity, confidence, independence, and a lifelong love of learning.

MORE THAN A SCHOOL DAY
Flexible Care Options for Families
In addition to our early years programmes, Aerokids offers flexible care options to support families with different schedules and needs.
Daycare
Full Day • Half Day • Extended Hours
A nurturing full-day care environment for young children who need care beyond the regular preschool programme. Our daycare provides opportunities for play, rest, meals, routines, and age-appropriate learning experiences throughout the day.
After School Care
After School • Flexible Hours
A comfortable and engaging space for children who need care after their regular school day. Children can enjoy supervised play, creative activities, quiet time, and age-appropriate experiences in a familiar and nurturing environment.
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.
The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework in the UK identifies seven key areas of learning and development, each playing an important role in supporting children’s holistic growth. Through engaging, play-based experiences, children develop essential skills, build confidence, and nurture their curiosity as they explore the world around them.
Communication and Language
Physical Development
Personal, Social, and Emotional Development
Literacy
Mathematics
Understanding the World
Expressive Arts and Design
At Aerokids Preschool, we believe that every child is unique and deserves an educational experience that caters to their individual needs and interests. Our dedicated teachers and tailored curriculum ensure that each child receives the support and encouragement they need to thrive.
A TYPICAL DAY AT AEROKIDS
Piazza Exploration
Piazza Exploration is a signature whole-school learning experience inspired by Reggio Emilia approach, where children from different age groups gather to learn, create, and connect as one community.
Guided by the theme Move • Create • Discover • Connect , each session offers meaningful, hands-on experiences that encourage curiosity, collaboration, creativity, and joyful learning.
Rather than being led only by classroom teachers, Piazza Explorations may be facilitated by teachers, ECA instructors, parents, grandparents, or other members of our community, allowing children to learn from a variety of people, skills, cultures, and professions.
Sessions are designed to be engaging, age-appropriate, and interactive, making use of our existing learning materials, loose parts, and gym equipment whenever possible.
Morning Assembly
Morning assembly takes place during circle time in each classroom, creating a warm and engaging start to the day. Children greet one another with a good morning song, explore the weather and calendar, and preview the day’s activities. Through sharing stories, singing songs, and expressing themselves through movement, teachers encourage children to take turns, communicate their ideas, and build confidence. These meaningful interactions nurture each child’s voice while developing their language and expressive abilities.
Indoor explorations
Indoor explorations lead children to lessons in various spaces, such as the indoor gym, individual classrooms, or the light atelier. Encouraged by the Reggio Emilia-inspired environment, children delve into activities that fuel their curiosity, fostering a dynamic and engaging learning atmosphere.
Outdoor explorations
The children enjoy imaginative play and exciting discoveries in the outdoor area. Whether climbing the playhouse, collaborating at the mud kitchen, or experimenting with different sounds on the music walls, they explore their surroundings, express their creativity, and engage with one another in a lively and stimulating environment.
Music and Movement
Music and movement invite children to explore rhythm, sound, and body expression in joyful and engaging ways. Through singing, dancing, musical games, and exploring different instruments, children develop their listening skills, coordination, creativity, and confidence while discovering the joy of making music together.
Provocation and invitation tables
In every class, teachers set up provocation and invitation tables aligned with specific goals and planned activities. They stimulate curiosity by posing questions, shaping their lesson plans based on children’s responses and observations. Teachers engage in both substantial, enduring projects and smaller, focused initiatives to enrich the learning experience.
Light Atelier
The Light Atelier offers children opportunities to explore light, shadow, colour, and transparency through hands-on experimentation. Using light tables, translucent materials, and a variety of objects, children are encouraged to observe, investigate, and express their ideas. These experiences nurture curiosity, creativity, and a sense of wonder as children discover new ways of seeing and understanding the world.
Indoor Gym
Our indoor gym provides a welcoming space for children to develop their physical skills through active play and movement. With a variety of age-appropriate equipment and activities, children are encouraged to climb, balance, jump, stretch, and explore their physical abilities. These experiences support gross motor development, coordination, body awareness, and confidence while fostering a love of movement.
Parent Participation
We believe that families are essential partners in children’s learning journey. Through parent participation, families are invited to share their knowledge, skills, cultures, and interests with the school community. Whether through classroom activities, storytelling, special events, or collaborative projects, these meaningful connections strengthen the partnership between home and school and enrich children’s learning experiences.
Extra curricular activities
Our intentional activities, encompassing all extracurriculars, enable children to explore and engage with their interests. These extracurricular activities (ECAs) are designed for Aerokids children eager to expand their learning beyond regular school hours.
