EYFS Curriculum

The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) is built around four principles:

  • A Unique Child

  • Positive Relationships

  • Enabling Environments

  • Children Learn and Develop in different ways and at different Rates

In terms of Learning and Development, there are seven areas.

The three prime areas are:

  • Communication and Langauge

  • Physical Development

  • Personal, Social and Emotional Development

There are also four specific areas through which the three prime areas are strenghtened and applied. These are:

  • Literacy

  • Mathematics

  • Understanding of the World

  • Expressive Arts and Design
