Early Years Foundation Stage

Strathmore Preschool provides the environment, equipment and tools for each child to play, learn and explore at their own pace and are given equal opportunity to reach their potential across all areas of development.

We set out a flexible plan each term which covers a variety of themes throughout the year. Our curriculum is based around the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and seven core areas of learning which is taught through games and play:

communication and language

physical development

personal, social and emotional development

literacy

mathematics

understanding the world

expressive arts and design

These 7 areas are used to plan our activities and your child’s learning. However there is no set task that all children are forced to do if they don’t want to. There is always the option for free play or other activities for those who would prefer it.
