What is the Early Years Foundation Stage program you follow ?At Space Kids Nursery we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum certified by the UAE ministry of education, which details seven key areas of learning from birth to five years old. These include: Communication and Language – giving children opportunities to experience a rich language environment; to develop their confidence and skills in expressing themselves, and to speak and listening in a range of situations. Physical Development – providing opportunities for young children to be active and to develop their coordination and movement. Children are also taught about the importance of physical activity, and how to make healthy food choices. Personal, Social, and Emotional Development – helping children to develop a positive sense of themselves and to have confidence in their own abilities; to form positive relationships and develop respect for others; to develop social skills and learn how to manage their feelings; to understand appropriate behavior in groups. Literacy – encouraging children to link sounds and letters and to begin to read and write. Children are given access to a wide range of reading materials (books, poems, and more) to ignite their interest. Mathematics – providing children with opportunities to develop and improve their skills in counting, understanding and using numbers, calculating simple addition and subtraction; and describing shapes, spaces, and measures. Understanding the World – guiding children to understand their physical world and their community through opportunities to explore, observe and find out about people, places, technology, and the environment. Expressive Arts and Design – enabling children to explore and play with a wide range of media and materials, and encouraging them to share their thoughts, ideas and feelings through a variety of activities in art, music, movement, dance, role-play, and design and technology. Along with the above, our early learners have Arabic lessons they study Music and ICT, and they have weekly Physical Education (PE) lessons with specialist teachers in Nursery. Each child is treated very much as an individual, and the staff works closely to provide both adult-focused and child-initiated learning experiences to ensure your child makes rapid progress.

How does Space Kids Nursery manage behavior?We use numerous positive reinforcement techniques as we believe that positive reinforcement helps build children’s self-esteem and self-confidence and therefore we use it also to encourage and motivate children. Examples of Positive Reinforcement Clapping and cheering. Giving a high five. Giving a hug or pat on the back. Giving a thumbs-up. Offering a unique activity, like playing a game or reading a book together. Offering praise. Telling another adult how proud you are of our Kid's behavior while they are listening.
