Curriculum
Children’s joy and happiness is a big part of their learning. At La Petite École d’Eliana, We pride ourselves in providing a well-balanced child-led/structured ratio that allows the children to achieve a high standard of early years education.
This approach enables children to explore their creative and curious nature and gain a strong academic foundation. Most of our teaching is done primarily in French to facilitate children’s integration into French schools. We believe that the English language is naturally acquired through play and social interaction in and outside the school.
Early Years Foundation Stage
At La Petite École d’Eliana, learning is led by the Early Years Foundation Framework. Our varied play-based curriculum covers 7 main areas of learning and development.
Personal, Social & Emotional Development
This will include experiences that will help children to develop a positive sense of themselves and of others, respect for others, social skills and a positive disposition to learn.

Communication, Language
& Literacy
We combine the communication and literacy sections of EYFS due to their linked nature. This stage focuses on extending and developing an understanding of vocabulary, speaking and listening, being read to, supporting, and extending their skills in the beginning to read and write. At La Petite École d’Eliana, we nurture the acquisition of both English and French.
Problem Solving, Reasoning
& Numeracy
The children develop an interest in numbers and counting, making comparisons, sorting and matching objects and beginning to recognise numbers and shapes. They start showing an awareness of their existence within the environment and are encouraged to recognise numbers and shapes in new places.

Knowledge & Understanding
of the World
Development of children's knowledge, skills and understanding that help them to make sense of the world. The children are given opportunities to use a range of tools safely, and encounter creatures, people, plants and objects in their natural environments and work with a range of materials.
Physical Development
Through sports and outdoor play, we help develop and improve children's skills of coordination, control, manipulation, and movement, using their senses to learn about the world around them and make connections between new information and what they already know. We place a lot of importance on practising fine motor skills as it is essential in preparation for school.
Creative Development
Children's creativity is nurtured by supporting their curiosity, exploration and play. Opportunities to explore their imagination through dance, music and role play are provided for the children.

Activities
World Music
We have exciting visits from Akal World Music as part of our efforts to introduce the children to a number of cultures and expose them to creative outlets where their imagination can run free. Instruments from across the world are brought into the nursery and the children are given information about where they come from, how they are played, and the people that created them. Music is an incredible way to teach the children history, geography, and creativity.
Sensory Exploration
Adding sensory experiences to activities can enhance the learning experience for children, engaging them in new ways. Many of our educational activities are designed to engage more than one sense, helping children connect their senses with what they experience and making learning a more fun experience. Finger-painting, sand-play, and outside learning are all examples of how we integrate sensory exploration into the children’s education.
