Curriculum:
EtonHouse values the uniqueness of each child as both a gift and an opportunity. This uniqueness is supported and enhanced by a learning environment that is respectful of the child as they seek to make meaning of the socio-cultural context in which they live. The Early Years is vitally important in the mental, physical and social development of every child. It is important that their individual needs are identified through observation and documentation of their interests, development and progress. Curriculum goals a
re met through the co-construction of knowledge where children and adults learn from and teach one another.
EtonHouse provides an enriched, carefully resourced environment that stimulates the leaning and development of children aged 2-6 years. EtonHouse’s early childhood curriculum is inspired by internationally accepted best teaching practice from around the world such as the International Baccalaureate PYP and the Reggio Emilia educational project of northern Italy.
As part of this inquiry based learning approach, young children at EtonHouse are respected as competent thinkers and communicators who are offered many opportunities to engage with a range of materials and resources that extend and challenge their thinking. As Early Years educators, we aim to support children through the ‘settling in’ period of school when there is a temporary separation from their family and adjustment to a new social context. With this vital support, children grow to feel confident, secure and empowered and with these positive traits, their high self-esteem becomes an important pre-requisite for effective learning.
Children’s learning occurs and is enhanced through their interactions with people, time, space and resources, and how they learn best is through play, which is children’s ‘work’. Play is a natural, self motivated and highly complex activity that children enjoy and when they are having fun doing and experiencing, these learning experiences become more meaningful to them and their peers.
At EtonHouse, the child benefits from a learning environment that promotes the continuous development of their social, cognitive, emotional, physical and creative strengths. Children are offered a range of opportunities to explore values, broaden communication skills, collaborate, make personal choices, group problem solve, develop ideas and explor
