At Baby Home Nursery we will follow the British Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum. We will aim to follow the Teacher-Directed/Academic approach which has a structured philosophy, in which the teachers generally plan the daily activities, and then guide the children in carrying them out. The general idea of the academic approach is to help children adapt to the classroom setting, and to prepare them for later, more formal learning.

Typical elements of a Teacher-Directed/Academic Preschool
• Emphasis on simple academic skills, like pencil and paper activities
• More quiet and organized environment than in a play centered classroom
• Teachers guiding students through low-key activities, like games and art projects
This creative approach, along with a focus on the important six areas of learning for Early Years, combines to offer an integrated holistic learning programme, where independent learning, curiosity and enthusiasm are developed.
