At EHISA we also
have a Nursery and Reception section, where we prepare the ‘little
ones’ for their next formal stage, Primary School.
Nursery:
There are two groups, 12-24 months and 24-36 months
Kindergarten
1or Pre-School: 3 – 4 years
Kindergarten 2 or Reception: 4 – 5 years
For the Reception
stage, we follow a programme that is in line with the National
Curriculum of England that covers English, Mathematics, Science,
Arts/Crafts, Physical Education and Music. Some books are
recommended by University of Cambridge International Examinations
Syndicate and are carefully integrated into our curriculum. We even
teach the children the Arabic alphabet to stimulate their unexposed
language capabilities.
Our overall aims for
the Foundation Stage is to enable our children to become
independent, develop awareness on social aspects, to encourage them
to gain knowledge and skills; and more importantly is to introduce
learning in an ‘enjoyable way’.
