Six areas of early learning

These are general areas used by many early-years programmes. They are not a description of this school's curriculum.

Pouring water, buttoning, carrying a tray, tidying up. Small jobs build independence and steady hands.

Rough and smooth, loud and soft, heavy and light. Sorting and matching sharpen attention.

Songs, rhymes, stories and lots of conversation, in English and in Hindi at home. Letters come when children are ready.

Counting real things, comparing more and less, spotting patterns. Numbers make sense when you can hold them.

Plants, weather, animals, festivals and the neighbourhood. Children learn by noticing.

Painting, clay, music, dance and outdoor play. Big movements help small, careful ones later.
