Curriculum & Approach
Al-Fajr Early Childhood Center follows an EYFS-based curriculum that promotes holistic development across the framework's seven key areas: Communication and Language, Physical Development, Personal, Social and Emotional Development, Literacy, Mathematics, Understanding the World, and Expressive Arts and Design. Islamic Studies and Arabic Language are woven throughout, giving children a well-rounded education that honours local culture alongside international early-years best practice. Beyond the core curriculum, children take part in a range of specialised activities intended to enrich learning, including a swimming programme, indoor and outdoor play, creative arts, field trips, cultural celebrations and STEM exploration. These experiences are designed to support academic, social and emotional growth in tandem, rather than focusing solely on classroom-based learning. The centre also places emphasis on inclusion, with a special needs support team working alongside class teachers to build individualised learning plans for children who need additional support, ensuring that the EYFS approach is accessible to children of varying abilities.

A free, structured three-day adaptation period is offered to every new family: a parent stays for the full first day, half of the second day, and just one hour on the third day, allowing children to settle gradually into their new classroom and routine.
