Why we do, what we do
HEAR From our DIRECTOR
Welcome to the Raffles Early Childhood family! We are excited to embark on this journey with you and your child. The experiences during the early years, from birth to age five, are vital for laying the groundwork for lifelong learning. By working together, we can cultivate a strong partnership aimed at fostering a love of learning, nurturing curious minds, and inspiring the next generation.
Our highly qualified and experienced team work to understand the needs of your child and ensure that these are supported and challenged. Every day our environments will evolve to ensure that your child is cared for in a warm and welcoming space that encourages creativity, curiosity, inquisitiveness and the desire to learn – but where safety and security is key!
Our EYFS curriculum has been developed by our team of educators, to ensure that learning through play and hands on learning underpins and supports all areas of learning and development. We also ensure that it reflects the needs of the children, our local culture and international best practices.
Welcome to RAFFLES EARLY YEARS
A WORLD-CLASS Learning Environment
At Raffles ECC, we use the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum that provides children with strong foundations for future learning.
Our curriculum is progressive and is tailored to the different ages and stages – ensuring that there is an element of challenge in a secure and supportive manner. Our aim is to encourage children to be curious, to make choices, show resilience, enjoy creativity, problem solving and have a love of learning that lasts a lifetime! Our team co-creates the learning with the children, focusing on the individual needs and interests of each child.
Our curriculum is planned with progression to our schools in mind. As part of Innoventures Education, all children are given priority admission to one of our five multi-curriculum schools, which ensures there is progression for all within the Innoventures Family.
