Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS)

Welcome to Our Early Years!

At Seri Botani International School, we believe that a child’s first years of learning are the most important. Our Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) program is designed for children aged 3 to 5 and helps them learn through fun, play and discovery.

Nursery: Our nursery level is for children aged 3+ to 4+ and introduces young learners to a world of exploration and creativity.

Reception: For children aged 4+ to 5+ years old, our reception level focuses on preparing children for the transition to formal primary schooling, building on the skills the’ve started developing.

What is Our Curriculum?

The EYFS is a framework that guides how we teach young children. It focuses on holistic growth, helping them grow in all areas; academically and in their skills -like learning to communicate, explore, and make friends-so they can be ready for the next steps in their education.

Methodology

We know every child is special and learns in their own way. Our teachers use play-based activities, tailored to their individual learning preferences to help children learn new things while having fun. Whether it’s building with blocks, painting, or playing outside, children develop important skills through activities they enjoy.

Curriculum Overview

1. Communication: Helping children express themselves and listen to others.

2. Physical development: Encouraging movement and coordination.

3. Social and emotional growth: Building friendships and understanding emotions.

4. Early literacy: Reading and writing.

5. Mathematics: Numbers and problem solving.

6. Exploring and understanding the world: Learning about nature, people, and the environment.

Parents' testimonials

"My child was a very timid and reserved kid outside the house. After joining SBIS Early Years, she has developed and sharpened her learning skills. We appreciate the effort by the teachers to focus on her development. There were different approaches to teaching and learning activities that made it an enjoyable journey for my daughter. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the teachers for playing a massive role in developing her learning skills. Thank you."

"I have two children here at SBIS. The teachers are friendly and supportive, offering guidance where it is needed. The small ratio of students to teachers creates a strong learning environment with a family of teachers who truly care about the kids. The teaching methods are relaxed and flexible. Teachers make it fun and interactive. The school has done a great job developing their confidence and independence. My children are happy and eager to go to school every day. Highly recommended."
