At RVS International Academy, our Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) is a cornerstone of our educational approach, designed to foster holistic development through a blend of the Cambridge EYFS framework and other globally recognized methodologies.
Approach
Our EYFS program incorporates a dynamic blend of the Cambridge Early Years Foundation Stage with elements from Montessori, Reggio Emilia, and the NEP 2020 Indian early years framework. This approach ensures a comprehensive learning environment where children engage in hands-on, exploratory activities that encourage curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking. Our focus is on creating a nurturing space where each child’s individual needs are met through a child-centered approach, promoting emotional, social, and cognitive growth.
Areas of Development
Personal, Social, and Emotional Development (PSED)
prioritize the growth of self-awareness, self-regulation, and social skills, helping children build positive relationships and navigate their emotions effectively.
Communication and Language (CL)
Through interactive storytelling, discussions, and language-rich activities, we enhance children’s vocabulary, listening, and speaking skills, laying a strong foundation for literacy.
Physical Development (PD)
Our program includes activities that promote both fine and gross motor skills, ensuring children develop physical coordination and a healthy lifestyle.
Literacy and Numeracy
We introduce early literacy and numeracy concepts through playful and engaging methods, fostering a love for learning and building essential skills for future academic success.
Creative Expression
We encourage creativity through arts, music, and imaginative play, allowing children to express themselves and explore their interests in a supportive environment.
Assessment and Progression
Ongoing Assessment
We utilize formative assessments to continuously monitor and support each child’s development. Observations and developmental checklists help us tailor our approach to meet individual needs and celebrate milestones.
Progression Milestones
Each stage (EY1, EY2, EY3) is designed to build upon the previous one, ensuring a smooth transition from exploratory learning in EY1 to more structured academic readiness in EY3. This progressive approach prepares children for primary education, with a strong foundation in personal, social, emotional, and academic skills.
Parent Engagement
Regular feedback and open communication with parents are integral to our assessment process. We work collaboratively with families to support each child’s growth and address any areas of concern.
By integrating these elements, our EYFS program at RVS International Academy ensures that each child embarks on a journey of exploration, learning, and growth, setting them on a path to academic and personal success.
