At this early age, children are still learning to play, explore, create, and think critically. To focus their progress, our highly trained teachers engage them in activities shaped by seven Areas of Learning and Development. We use these interconnected areas to promote children’s individual interests and unique learning needs.
Prime Areas
The programme is comprised of seven areas of learning with a basis in three Prime Areas:
- Communication and language
- Physical development
- Personal, social and emotional development
Specific Areas
The Prime Areas underpin learning in all other areas and help children develop skills in the following four Specific areas:
- Literacy
- Mathematics
- Understanding the world
- Expressive arts and design
Children work towards the Early Learning Goals in the seven areas of learning whilst being closely supported and challenged along the way.
