Why Cambridge Early Years?
A holistic
It helps children develop the knowledge, understanding and skills they need for the
next stage in their education – whether they move on to Cambridge Primary or
another programme.
Balanced
It is a child-centred, play-based programme that helps young learners to develop at their own pace. It encourages
them to act independently, make their own choices and discover feelings of self-worth.
Engaging
It includes everything you need for high-quality learning: a holistic, balanced curriculum, engaging classroom resources, professional development
and assessment approaches to help you measure your learners’ progress.
Curriculum
It supports learners, whatever their level of English when they begin the programme. We also help you offer a
bilingual or multilingual approach if learners have a home language other than English.
Our approach
We developed Cambridge Early Years in collaboration with trusted early years experts, so it reflects the very latest educational thinking. Our approach is built around these key principles:
Experience
Learning should complement the social and cultural factors (like experiences of home and community) that shape a child’s learning and development.
Active
Children should be actively involved in their own learning, and helped to develop competence, responsibility, confidence and self-worth.
Balance
Learning should balance physical, cognitive, language and communication, and social and emotional development.
Play
Learning should be age appropriate, play based and child centred. It should include both child- and adult-led activities.
Active
EYFS should help children transition successfully to primary school, moving from informal, play-based learning to teaching that is more formal.
