Curriculum

We focus on the distinct needs of children from birth to 5 years of age.

We use the Early Years Foundation programme which meets British Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and Ghana Education Services (GES) standards for curriculum content and Early Childhood Education.

Key components of the St. Giles Program include the three prime areas of learning underpinning the E.Y.F.S.

These are:

Personal, Social and Emotional Development

Involves helping children to develop a positive sense of themselves and others, to form positive relationships and develop respect for others, to develop social skills and learn how to manage their feelings, to understand appropriate behaviour in groups and to have confidence in their own abilities.

Physical Development

Involves providing opportunities for young children to be active and interactive and to develop their co-ordination, control, and movement. Children must also be helped to understand the importance of physical activity and to make healthy choices in relation to food.

Communication and Language

Involves giving children opportunities to experience a rich language environment, to develop their confidence and skills in expressing themselves, and to speak and listen in a range of situations.

There are four specific areas of learning, namely:

Literacy Development

Involves 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 to ignite their interest.

Mathematics

Involves providing children with opportunities to develop and improve their skills in counting, understanding numbers, calculating addition and subtraction problems and describing shapes and measures.

Understanding the World

Involves guiding children to make sense of their physical world and community through opportunities to explore, observe and find out about people, places and the environment.

Expressive Arts and Design

Involves enabling children to play with a wide range of media and materials, as well as providing opportunities for sharing their thoughts, ideas and feelings through a variety of activities in art, music, movement, dance, role-play and design and technology.
