THE EYFS CURRICULUM

A child's first experiences at school are instrumental in helping them build a love for learning. AT NAIS Hong Kong, we create a safe, caring, and happy environment where each child believes that they're capable of anything! Our EYFS curriculum has been designed to encourage your child's interests and talents and to nurture the attitude of a life-long learner.

KEY GOALS FOR EYFS 

We use four themes in the learning and development of your child through the EYFS Curriculum.


  • A Unique Child: Every child is a competent learner from birth and can be resilient, capable, confident, and self-assured.
  • Positive Relationships: Children learn to be strong and independent from a base of loving and secure relationships with parents and carers.
  • Enabling Environments: The environment supports and extends a child’s development and learning.
  • Learning and Developing: Children develop and learn in different ways and at different rates. All areas of their learning and development are equally important.

AREAS OF LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT

The EYFS curriculum focuses on seven areas of growth that allow every day at school to be full of exciting activities.

Personal, Social and Emotional Development 
Through varied experiences and support from our teachers, your child will build a positive sense of themselves and of others. They’ll discover how to socialise and respect others. 

Communication and Language
We’ll encourage your child to communicate well through many speaking and active listening exercises.

Mathematical Development 
We’ll develop your child’s understanding of maths in a broad range of contexts. They can explore, enjoy, learn, practise, and talk about what they understand.

Understanding the World 
Your child will make sense of the world through hands-on experiences. They might learn about tools and materials, encounter animals and plants, or do practical experiments.

Physical Development 

Your child will be active at school, enhancing their  physical development through coordination, control, manipulation, and movement through exciting exercises. They’ll also learn about a healthy diet.

Expressive Arts and Design 
We’ll encourage your child to share their thoughts and feelings through a variety of art, music, movement, dance, imaginative and role-play activities, design, and technology. They’ll take specialist lessons in music.

Literacy Development
We’ll guide your child to begin to read and write through storytelling.

CORE SUBJECTS

Our curriculum builds a solid foundation for each child's future of  learning, with a strong emphasis on high levels of attainment in the core subjects of literacy, numeracy, science, and ICT. We expose the children to Mandarin from Nursery onwards, as the development of their language skills is an integral part of our curriculum.

OUR APPROACH TO TEACHING

Our teachers make sure that the activities are suited to each child’s unique needs and lead them through a range of hands-on activities, both indoors and outdoors. They focus on 'whole class' and 'small group' teaching through structured play opportunities.

OTHER LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES

On top of our academic learning, we help our children learn through regular concerts, performances, and assemblies, which we invite parents to throughout the year. These add to the rich range of opportunities and we enhance their experiences further with trips, visiting musicians and artists, and extracurricular activities.
