Our Curriculum
At Tiny Stars in Canterbury, teaching and learning revolve around each individual child, focusing on what they enjoy and what inspires them to engage with learning.
Through expertly delivered activities that are rich, engaging, and meaningful, alongside purposeful play and intentional, high-quality teachable moments, children’s natural curiosity is nurtured. This approach challenges and extends their individual learning, laying strong foundations for a lifetime of growth and discovery.
Our nursery follows the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, which sets the standards for learning, development, and care for young children. Through this framework, your child will develop essential skills, gain new knowledge, and demonstrate their understanding across seven interconnected areas of learning and development.
At the core of the EYFS are three prime areas, which are vital for your child’s growth and for building relationships. These areas provide the foundation for success in all other aspects of learning:
-
Communication and Language
-
Physical Development
-
Personal, Social, and Emotional Development
Building on these prime areas, the EYFS also focuses on four specific areas that enrich and enhance your child’s learning experience. These areas nurture curiosity, creativity, and a love of discovery:
-
Literacy
-
Mathematics
-
Understanding the World
-
Expressive Arts and Design
At our nursery, your child’s unique interests and motivations are at the centre of everything we do. We are committed to fostering their love of learning through tailored activities and experiences.
Our dedicated team creates a rich and engaging environment, combining purposeful play with high-quality teaching moments. These thoughtfully planned activities encourage your child’s natural curiosity, challenge their thinking, and extend their development.
By providing meaningful learning opportunities, we help your child build solid foundations for lifelong learning, ensuring they are well-prepared for the exciting journey ahead.
