Our teaching practices are underpinned by the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), British Curriculum. We believe in granting children the freedom to explore and play, igniting their passion and excitement for learning.
At Emerald City Nursery we observe each child’s play, individual strengths and interests and this forms the basis for our planning. We seek out ‘Wow Moments’ in a child’s day, where we can extend their individual learning experiences, these experiences are meaningful and create the most powerful of learning opportunities.
A child’s learning (or ‘Wow Moments’) are divided into seven areas of learning and development from the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) –
Prime Areas
- Personal, Social and Emotional Development
- Physical Development
- Communication and Language
Specific Areas
- Literacy
- Mathematics
- Understanding the World
- Expressive Arts and Design
