Curriculum

Amelio's international and award-winning curriculum is inspired by some of the best methodologies in the world and focuses on theme-based learning.

The World of Discovery curriculum, Accelerating learning experiences.

With added emphasis on parent-teacher paricipation, sensorial learning, imaginative play and most importantly, a whole lot of fun, our children grow into inquisitive, independent and all-rounded kindergarteners who love to engage and interact with the world around them.

  • We build a caring and loving environment
  • We provide a child the freedom to explore and experiment
  • We ensure attention to all aspects of a child’s early development – Physical, Cognitive, Social, Emotional, Sensorial and Language
  • We stimulate and encourage the child to have meaningful interaction with peers and adults

The Early Years Foundation Stage

At Amelio, we follow the International Early Years Foundation Stage methodology, which covers learning, growth and the overall holistic development of a child. The EYFS statutory framework focuses on 7 Areas of Development.

    • Listening & Paying Attention: Children will be able to listen attentively. They can listen to stories, accurately anticipating key events and respond to what they hear with relevant comment, questions or actions.
    • Understanding: Children will be able to follow instructions involving several ideas or actions. They answer ‘how’ and ‘why’ questions about their experiences and in response to stories or events.
    • Speaking: Children will be able to express themselves effectively. They will develop their own narratives and explanations by connecting ideas or events.
    • Self-confidence and self-awareness: Children will be confident to try new activities and say why they like some activities more than others. They can say when they do or don’t need help.
    • Managing feelings and behavior: Children will be able to talk about how they and others show feelings, talk about their own (and others’) behavior, and know what kind of behavior is unacceptable.
    • Making relationships: Children will learn to play co-operatively, taking turns with others. They will be able to show empathy to others’ needs and feelings, and form positive relationships with adults and other children.
    • Moving and handling: Children will be able to show good control and co-ordination in large and small movements. They will be able to handle equipment and tools effectively.

They will be able to recognize familiar words and signs such as their own names. They will begin to read words and recognize both upper and lower case letters.
    • Writing: Children will give meaning to what they draw and paint. They will be able to link sounds to letters, and also name the letters of the alphabet. They can write their own name.
    • Numbers: Children will be able to read, write and count reliably with numbers from 1 to 10 using objects.
    • Shape, space and measures: Children will be able to recognize 2D shapes, sizes, weights, and have the capacity to compare quantities and objects and to solve problems. They will be able to recognize patterns.
    • The world: Children will know about similarities and differences in relation to places, objects, materials and living things. They can talk about the features of their own immediate environment and how environments might vary from one another. They can make observations of animals and plants.
