EARLY YEARS FOUNDATION STAGE
The first years of Early Childhood Education are a fundamental stage in every child’s development.
At our Early Years Site, we follow the British Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum for children aged two to five. Our aim is to nurture each child’s growth across all areas of learning in an active, engaging, and differentiated way. Children spend much of their time exploring and learning through play, both indoors and outdoors. They also take part in teacher-led sessions, such as phonics, maths, and communication and language, often through stories, songs, and assemblies.
Early Years Foundation Stage Dallington School
The three prime areas of learning are at the heart of our approach. They establish the foundation for development while supporting progress in the four additional specific areas. Teachers plan educational activities that are creative, dynamic, and responsive to the children’s interests. Through exploration, discovery, and play, children learn with guidance from their teachers, their peers, and their own curiosity, making the most of every learning space.
Prime areas:
- Communication and Language
- Personal, Social and Emotional development
- Physical Development
Specific areas:
- Literacy
- Maths
- Understanding the World
- Expressive Arts and Design
