JING JING INTERNATIONAL KINDERGARTEN

Children joining our school have already learnt a great deal. The Early Years Education we offer our children is based on the following principles: It builds on what our children already know and can do; It ensures that no child is excluded or disadvantaged; It offers a structure for learning that has a range of starting points, content that matches the needs of young children and activities that provides opportunities for learning both indoors and outdoors; It provides a secure, rich, challenging and stimulating environment.

Through play our children explore and develop learning experiences, which help them make sense of the world. They practise and build up ideas, and learn how to control themselves and understand the need for boundaries. They have the opportunity to think creatively alongside other children as well as independently. They communicate with others as they investigate and solve problems. They express their emotions and feelings in controlled and safe situations.

The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum promotes a solely play-based curriculum to encourage growth and development of the 7 learning areas: Communication and Language; Physical Development; Personal, Social and Emotional Development; Expressive Arts and Design; Understanding the World; Literacy; Mathematics. Additionally, our school incorporates Jolly Phonics from K1-K3. This is a multi sensory approach to teaching literacy through synthetic phonics.
