Foundation Stage

  • The Early Years in LoveWorld Schools comprises of four classes: Crèche,Preschool,Nursery One and Nursery two (Reception Class). Depending on the age at admission, children are admitted into classes appropriately.

    The EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) curriculum is the entry level of the English National Curriculum. At LoveWorld Nursery School, we deploy the English National Curriculum with the Montessori methodology.  This blend guides the learning and teaching process and helps us establish an optimum learning environment in our classes.

    The Montessori approach emphasizes the importance of the child’s own decision making both in what they do and how they do it. The EYFS curriculum makes provisions for an “enabling environment, active learning and learning through experiences” within the theme of learning and development which is in line with the Montessori practice.

    We use a variety of play based and structured activities striking a fine balance between both teacher- led and student initiated play.Most children play spontaneously and it is through play they develop emotionally,physically,creatively,socially and intellectually.

    There are 3 prime areas in the EYFS curriculum which are crucial for igniting the children’s curiosity and enthusiasm for learning. Also their capacity to learn, form relationshipsand thrive.They include…

     

      • Communication and Language Development: This involves giving the children the opportunities to experience a rich language environment to help develop their confidence, skills in expressing themselves, to speak and listen in a range of situations.

     

      • Physical Development: It involves opportunities for young children to be active and interactive, develop their coordination,control and movement. Children must also be helped to understand the importance of physical activities and make healthy choices in relation to food.

     

    • Personal,Social and Emotional Development: This involves helping the children develop a positive sense of themselves and others, to form positive relationships,develop respect for others, develop social skills, learn how to manage feelings and understand appropriate behaviour in groups.

    The four specific (subject) areas through which the three prime areas are strengthened and applied include…

     

      • Literacy: Encouraging children to link sounds and letters and to begin to read and write. They are given access to a wide range of reading and writing materials to ignite their interest.

     

      • Numeracy: Providing children with opportunities to develop and improve their skills in counting,understanding and using numbers ,calculating simple addition and subtraction problems, describe shapes, spaces and measurements.

     

      • Understanding the World: Guiding children to make sense of their physical world and community through opportunities to explore,observe and find out about people,places,technology and the environment.

     

    • Expressive Arts and Design: It involves enabling the children to explore and play with a wide range of media and materials as well asproviding opportunities and encouragement for sharing their thoughts, ideas and feelings through a variety of activities;art,music,dance,roleplay ,design and ICT.

    Ongoing assessment through observation is also an integral part of thelearning and development process at LoveWorld Nursery School.This helps us to understand each child’s levelof achievement,interest and learning style and therefore shape the learning experiences for each child.
