Early Years Foundation School ( EYFS )

 

It is always a joy to see our youngest learners gaining the independence they crave for in each of our four dynamic and nurturing classrooms.

At Cedar Christian School, the EYFS Department comprises four classrooms, namely;

Crèche – 3months-2 years
Nursery 1 – 2+ – 3 years
Nursery 2 – 3+ – 4 years
Reception – 4+ – 6 years

Literacy

Children are taught speaking, listening, reading, and writing which play a major role in their early development. The importance of language is also taught through fun activities which helps them to ignite a lifelong curiosity for learning.

Expressive Arts and Design

This allows children to communicate their ideas and develop their imagination through art and design, music, dance, and drama.

Numeracy

At an early age, it’s important to help children recognize how mathematics impacts everyday life. Through games and activities, children are introduced to mathematical language, thinking and concepts that they will need when they start their primary education.

Physical Education

Our curriculum encourages children to develop movement skills through play, helping them to develop positive attitudes towards exercise and laying the foundations for healthy and active lives.

Personal, Social and Emotional Development

 This area is central to children’s lives. This area helps them to develop social learning and friendships, regulate their emotional responses and respond to the needs of others, and develop self-esteem and confidence.

Discovery (Understanding the world)

This area of the curriculum encourages children’s natural curiosity as they explore the world around them. It lays foundations for a range of different subjects in primary education and beyond, including science, digital literacy, computing, and humanities.
