المنهج والنهج التربوي
Happy Elephant adheres to the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), the British curriculum framework, across all age groups from 45 days to 5 years. The approach rests on four guiding principles: that every child is unique and constantly learning, that children thrive through positive and consistent relationships with key adults, that enabling environments with responsive teaching support learning, and that children learn and develop at different rates through play, exploration and active, creative thinking. Practitioners plan challenging, playful opportunities across the Prime and Specific areas of learning, covering communication and language, physical development, personal, social and emotional development, literacy, mathematics, understanding the world, and art, creativity and design. Activities include music and rhythm sessions, art and craft exploration, early numeracy and literacy, and structured lesson plans designed to build attention, perseverance and independent thinking. Alongside the core British EYFS programme, Happy Elephant offers two distinct curriculum tracks: an English curriculum and an English-Russian curriculum, allowing families to choose the language environment that best supports their child's development.

الفئة العمرية: 45 days to 5 years
Happy Elephant organises children into five stages according to age. Babies (45 days to 1 year) receive full care and supervision in a safe, consistent and welcoming environment, with a focus on physical, language and communication development. Toddlers (1 to 2 years) build positive relationships with peers, developing fine motor skills, early numbers and counting, and personal, social and emotional skills. The Nursery stage (2 to 3 years) develops independent, creative and critical thinkers through maths, literacy, art and design, music and rhythm, and communication and language. Foundation Stage 1 (3 to 4 years) builds on cultural behaviour and comprehensive intellectual and creative development, covering basic maths, reading and writing, art, attention development, and the world around us. Development Classes (4 to 5 years) focus on children learning to work, play, build relationships, co-operate with others and function as a group beyond the family, preparing them for the transition to primary school.
