The Oxford International Curriculum for Early Years is heavily inspired by the latest version of the English Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), which is respected worldwide and incorporates ideas from global experts and research, including Reggio Emilia, Montessori and Te Whariki from New Zealand.
Even as the EYFS curriculum evolves, the Oxford International Curriculum keeps the best practices from the current model while adding new, well-informed updates.
This ensures a strong start for young learners, preparing them well for the Oxford International Curriculum for Primary.
This curriculum emphasises the fundamental principles of providing a quality education for young children. It recognises that nurturing a child’s curiosity and fostering a love for learning in the early years, alongside developing strong social skills, independence, and resilience, equips them well for future success.
Guided by the well- being and individual needs of each child, the framework is informed by the belief that children thrive when they feel entirely comfortable and engaged in their learning environment.
Embracing the notion that children must feel at home before venturing into broader learning experiences, the aim is to create an environment that sparks enthusiasm for exploration and instills a passion for learning. Consequently, the curriculum prioritises effective learning environments tailored to support the unique needs of young learners.
