Our young learners engaged at the eco-garden.
The IEYC places the child at the heart of the curriculum, ensuring that learning is personalised and that the curriculum revolves around the needs and interests of the child. It supports key areas of learning through enquiry and play-based approaches, encompassing all curriculum areas including personal, social and emotional development. The curriculum contains themed Units of Learning. These are sequenced through the IEYC Process of Learning. This captures children’s natural curiosity as a starting point and, within an enabling environment, balances child-initiated and teacher-scaffolded provision.
The IEYC has a set of four Learning Strands that underpin all learning and development. Each of the four Learning Strands describes what children will experience and learn about through contextualised activities woven into IEYC units of learning.
