At Hummingbird, children are encouraged to learn through play based on the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) philosophy. Recognizing that children develop more rapidly during the first seven years of their lives than at any other time, we foster high levels of interaction to promote language and communication skills as well as creativity and critical thinking.
We also incorporate Executive Function skills into our curriculum: Executive Function is controlled by the frontal lobe of the brain which regulates the ability to think, study, follow through, solve problems independently, get along with others, and find happiness. These skills develop most during the formative years (birth to age seven) through positive learning, and are vital in bringing out the best in each unique, well-adjusted child.
Working hand-in-hand with parents, we produce curious, confident and empathetic kids who are ready for their next stage of schooling – and the 21st century wider world.
