The Nursery Curriculum

The Nursery curriculum has been developed and well blended with traditional childhood education with emphasis on allowing the child to lead the learning process.

A.    The Academic Programme
Our first priority in the nurseries is to provide a friendly, relaxed atmosphere combined with a sense of order and security. Once the children are encouraged to feel ‘at home’ in the classroom situation, prompted to understand acceptable behaviour, then the purpose of acquiring necessary skills and concepts begin.

By the end of the two-year period in the nursery, many children will have already learned to read. They will have learnt to recognize and spell common words and read them in sentences and learnt to use books for enjoyment and reference. They will have begun to write simple stories by themselves and developed a good understanding of numbers and shapes. They will have learnt songs and listened to stories, often acting out simpler versions.

B.    Homework
Children in the nursery, are given homework, and we expect parents to supervise their homework and sign off on it.
