At Little Gems Pre-school, we offer bilingual learning in both English and Arabic and follow the British Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and Montessori program.
Early Years learning challenges children and encourages them to develop into independent, motivated learners and thinkers, full of curiosity about the world around them within a fun, happy and secure environment.
Weekly topics are chosen to meet the learning needs and interests of our children. When planning, we also take our cue from the children and their interests, making each week a unique and exciting experience. Children are encouraged to explore, enquire and to take risks in an interactive hands-on environment.
Our Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum is based on seven areas of learning:

Our Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum aims to make a child’s first experience at Little Gems happy, positive, and fun. We foster a love of learning and develop enquiring minds through promoting our Little Gems values. We instil the characteristics of effective learning such as independence, resilience, and confidence.
We build positive relationships and work in partnership with families (recognising that parents are their child’s first and foremost educator), carers and professionals to support every child to develop and learn. We have high expectations of all pupils and for pupils to have high expectations of themselves.
