The Curriculum for the Early Childhood Center has been designed to establish a firm foundation on which pupils can build upon to support them in their continuing education. The principles that underpin the this curriculum can be summarised as follows:

• The overriding purpose of the education in R1 and R2 is to help children develop the skills and attitudes they will need both at this level and throughout a lifetime of learning
• Children need a holistic educational experience that doesn’t create artificial boundaries between different aspects of their development
• Play is an essential part of children’s learning and general development
