A STRONG FOUNDATION FOR LEARNING

Our Early Years curriculum is designed to spark curiosity, creativity, and a love for learning in a nurturing and engaging environment. It provides the foundational skills needed for the Cambridge curriculum, ensuring a smooth transition to the Primary Years.

Key Features of the Early Years Curriculum:

• Student-Centric Approach: Our child-focused pedagogy recognizes the individuality of each student, tailoring learning experiences to their interests, strengths, and developmental needs. Teachers act as facilitators, guiding students as they take ownership of their learning journey.
• Holistic Development: Through a variety of age-appropriate activities, we support the physical, cognitive, social, and emotional growth of each child, laying a strong foundation for future success.
• Play-Based and Inquiry-Driven Learning: Recognizing that play is essential for young learners, our curriculum integrates guided play and open-ended inquiry to spark curiosity, encourage creativity, and develop critical thinking skills.
• Foundations in Literacy and Numeracy: Early exposure to language and mathematical concepts is provided through engaging and interactive activities, setting the stage for confident reading, writing, and problem-solving skills—all of which support progression into the Cambridge curriculum.
• Creative and Expressive Arts: Students explore their creativity and imagination through art, music, drama, and movement, fostering self-expression and innovation.
• Social and Emotional Learning: Collaborative activities and structured opportunities for interaction help students develop empathy, communication skills, and positive relationships with peers and adults.
• Multisensory Experiences: Hands-on exploration and sensory-rich activities cater to diverse learning styles, ensuring that each child feels included and supported.

Our Early Years curriculum is designed not only to teach but to inspire a love of learning that will carry our students through their academic journey. By focusing on their individuality and fostering a positive, student-centric environment, JMS ensures that each child builds a strong foundation of confidence, curiosity, and competence for the years ahead.
