Sri KDU International School Kota Damansara

The Early Years will offer ample opportunity to learn through play, whilst developing important literacy and numeracy skills providing a seamless transition into Year 1.

Curriculum

We incorporate the British Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and British National Curriculum as a framework, integrated with Sri KDU’s Core Values and bespoke Sri KDU Years Centre programmes.

The EYFS framework:

• Sets the standards that all early years providers must meet to ensure that children learn and develop well.
• Ensures children are kept healthy and safe.
• Ensures that children have the knowledge and skills they need to start school.

Our Early Years Curriculum emphasises the seven areas of learning:

• Personal, Social and Emotional Development
  • This area helps shape children's social skills and develops respect and an understanding of their different feelings.
• Communication and Language
  • Providing an environment for young children to express themselves and speak and listen in a range of situations allows them to develop their language and communication skills.
• Physical Development
  • We all know that young children often love to be active, but they also need to understand that continued physical activity, and healthy food choices, are important and why.
• Literacy Development
  • Children need to discover phonemic awareness - the ability to hear and identify different words and sounds and start reading and writing
• Mathematics
  • Children need to be guided in developing skills with numbers and calculations and being able to describe shapes, spaces and measures.
• Expressive arts and design
  • Activities like drawing, playing with paint, instruments, or technology all give children the chance to express themselves and learn new things.
• Understanding of the world
  • This involves children making sense of things by observing and exploring everything from where they spend time to the technology and other things they use.
