Cambridge Early Years is the start of an exciting
educational journey that helps learners aged 3 to
6 develop the knowledge, understanding and skills
they need to make the best possible start in life.
The programme is designed to meet the needs of young
learners in India, and to be used by a wide range of early
years centres.
Cambridge Early Years takes a holistic and balanced
approach that focuses on physical, cognitive, language and
communication and social and emotional development. The
programme also offers engaging classroom resources, a range
of assessment approaches to help you measure your learners’
progress, and professional development for practitioners.
Cambridge Early Years encourages a play-based, child-centric
approach to teaching and learning within the programme.
This helps learners to act independently and make their own
choices, develop at their own pace, and build feelings of
competence, emotional attachment and self-worth. It also
gives you flexibility, with the option to tailor the curriculum
to a child’s needs, capabilities and interests.
Good-quality training and reflective practice are
essential parts of a practitioner’s professional
life and a core part of the Cambridge Early Years
programme.
If you are new to Cambridge Early Years, you can
attend our Introductory training. It covers key
elements of the programme and enables you to
deliver Cambridge Early Years with confidence.
Once you have at least one year of experience with
the programme, you can access our Enrichment
training. This focuses on developing best practice
and allows plenty of time for you to exchange
ideas with other practitioners. Our experienced
trainers will share ideas, encourage you to reflect
on their practice, and help you to develop practical
strategies you can use with learners
Confident: They will learn to express, clarify and
develop their own ideas and to respond constructively
to others’ ideas.
Responsible: They will begin to take some
responsibility for their own care and for their own
thinking, learning and emotions. They will interact
positively with others and have positive attitudes to
people’s similarities and differences.
Reflective: They will reflect on their own and others’
activities, saying what they liked and did not like,
and what went well and not so well. They begin to
understand how reflection and feedback can help to
develop new ideas.
Innovative: They will ask questions to find out
more about the world around them, and try different
strategies to overcome challenges and solve problems.
The Cambridge Early Years curriculum supports physical, cognitive, communication, social and emotional aspects of development. The content is divided between six learning areas, but they are all connected and can be taught together
Your child will be encouraged to develop their speaking, listening, reading and writing skills. Teaching and learning throughout the programme will be in English, but your child’s home language will also be recognised and celebrated
Your child will have the chance to express their ideas in a creative way and build on their experiences, both in and outside the programme, through art and design, music, dance and drama
our child will begin to discover mathematical thinking and language through engaging activities that link to their experiences in other curriculum areas and outside of school.
Your child will develop social learning and friendships, learn to regulate their emotional responses, and be able to build self-esteem and confidence.
Your child will develop different types of movement skills through play-based activities, and build the foundations for a healthy and active lifestyle.
Your child’s natural curiosity will be encouraged as they learn to reflect, question, explore and interact with the world around them.
