Cambridge Early Years

A system in which learning makes an impact.

Cambridge Early Years has been developed by Cambridge International and Cambridge University Press, both part of the world-renowned University of Cambridge. Like your child, our early years programme is unique.

They believe education is most powerful when curriculum, resources, assessment, and teaching and learning are aligned. That’s why Cambridge Early Years combines all these elements to provide centres with a complete and holistic programme designed around the needs of the child. This aligned approach helps Cambridge Early Years learners develop the skills, understanding and confidence they need to transition successfully to primary school.

The Cambridge Early Years curriculum supports physical, cognitive, communicative, social and emotional aspects of development. Our playschool is segregated between six learning areas which are independent and can be taught together.

Communication, language & literacy

Your child will be encouraged to develop their speaking, listening, reading and writing skills. Teaching and learning throughout the programme will be in English. Your child’s home language will also be recognised and celebrated.

Creative expression

Your child will have the chance to express his/her ideas in a creative way and build on their experiences, both in and outside the programme, through art, design, music, dance and drama.

Mathematics

Your child will begin to discover mathematical thinking and language through engaging activities that link to their experiences in other curriculum areas and outside of school.

Personal, social & emotional development

Your child will develop social learning and friendships, learn to regulate emotional responses, and be able to build self-esteem and confidence.

Physical development

Your child will develop different types of movement skills through play-based activities, and build the foundation for a healthy and active lifestyle.

Understanding the world

Your child’s natural curiosity will be encouraged as they learn to reflect, question, explore and interact with the world around them.

The Cambridge Early Years curriculum will help children become:

Confident

They will learn to express, clarify and develop their own ideas and respond constructively to others’ ideas.

Responsible

They will begin to take responsibility towards self-care, individual thinking, learning and managing their emotions. They will interact positively with others and have positive attitude to people’s similarities and differences.

Reflective

They will reflect on their own and others’ activities, saying what they like and did not, and what went well and not so well. They begin to understand how reflection and feedback can help to develop new ideas.

Innovative

They will ask questions to explore more about the world around them, and try different strategies to overcome challenges and solve problems.

Engaged

They will develop their own knowledge, understanding, and skills through social interaction and collaboration.
