Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS)

(Preschool & Reception)

At Edison International Academy, Dahl Al Hamam, children in Preschool and Reception follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum from England.

Why EYFS Is Important

Early childhood experiences strongly shape a child’s future.
A happy, safe, and supportive start helps children grow socially, emotionally, physically, and intellectually.
Each child learns at their own pace and needs activities that build confidence and key life skills.

How Children Learn – The 3 Characteristics

Playing & Exploring: trying new things, being curious, having the confidence to “have a go.”
Active Learning: staying focused, enjoying achievements, not giving up easily.
Creating & Thinking Critically: ideas, solving problems, finding new ways to do things

Our Preschool and Reception classes are designed to give children daily opportunities to practice all three.
