EYFS at Tower College
We are delighted to welcome you to the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) at Tower College. Our program is meticulously crafted to provide a nurturing and enriching environment tailored to your child’s early education. At Tower College, we believe in the holistic development of each child, ensuring they are well-prepared for their future learning journey and equipped with the confidence, creativity, and curiosity to thrive in all aspects of life.
Holistic Approach to Early Education
Our EYFS curriculum is designed to address all areas of development – cognitive, emotional, social, and physical. By fostering a supportive and stimulating environment, we help children develop essential skills that form the foundation for lifelong learning. From engaging in hands-on activities that spark creativity and critical thinking to participating in group projects that teach cooperation and teamwork, every aspect of our program aims to nurture the whole child.
The EYFS curriculum is based on seven key areas of learning and development:
- Personal, Social, and Emotional Development: Self-care, self-regulation, building relationships.
- Communication and Language: Listening, attention, understanding, speaking.
- Physical Development: Gross motor skills, fine motor skills.
- Literacy: Comprehension, word reading, writing.
- Mathematics: Numbers, numerical patterns.
- Understanding the World: People, culture, communities, the natural world, past and present.
- Expressive Arts and Design: Creating with materials, being imaginative and expressive.
The Early Years curriculum is flexible, allowing teachers to adapt to the interests of individual pupils. This encourages pupils to be active participants in their learning experiences. A typical timetable includes structured lessons in English, Maths, Phonics, and Topic, preparing pupils for the more formal education of Lower School. Pupils also have regular opportunities to explore continuous provision areas and receive specialist instruction in Spanish, Music, and PE.
Play-based learning is crucial in Early Years education, providing children with opportunities to explore skills and concepts autonomously. Our learning environments are designed to support this approach with structured areas such as sand and water, construction, reading, maths, writing, role-play, arts and crafts, and fine motor skills. Alongside child-initiated play, enhanced provision activities include topic-related challenges and teacher-led learning tasks.
Stimulating Environment
At Tower College, we understand the importance of a rich learning environment. Our classrooms are equipped with a variety of resources and materials that cater to different learning styles and interests. Children are encouraged to explore, discover, and learn through play, which is essential for their cognitive and social development. Our outdoor classroom offers additional opportunities for children to connect with nature, engage in physical activities, and develop their motor skills.
Experienced and Dedicated Staff
Our team of highly qualified and experienced educators is dedicated to providing the best possible start for your child. They are passionate about early childhood education and committed to creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere where every child feels valued and supported. Through continuous observation and individualized attention, our teachers ensure that each child’s unique needs and abilities are recognized and nurtured.
Strong Partnership with Parents
We believe that a strong partnership between parents and educators is crucial for a child’s success. At Tower College, we maintain open and effective communication with parents, keeping you informed about your child’s progress and involving you in their learning journey. Regular updates, parent-teacher meetings, and various family engagement activities ensure that you are always a part of your child’s educational experience.
Preparing for the Future
Our EYFS program is not just about preparing children for school; it’s about preparing them for life. By instilling a love for learning, encouraging independence, and fostering resilience, we equip children with the skills and mindset they need to succeed in an ever-changing world. At Tower College, we are committed to providing a solid foundation that will support your child’s growth and development for years to come.
