In the vibrant landscape of Early Years education at Ellesmere Muscat, we believe in the transformative power of movement. “Learning to move and moving to learn” is not just a phrase; it encapsulates the essence of our philosophy, especially in our specially designed outdoor spaces.
Our Early Years curriculum thrives on the understanding that young inquirers blossom when they engage in movement and exploration. Outdoor learning is not just a component of our curriculum; it’s a cornerstone of our approach to education. In our thoughtfully crafted outdoor spaces, our youngest learners develop physical strength, coordination, and confidence. Beyond the physical benefits, outdoor exploration encourages the joy of discovery and instills a readiness for future academic success as they transition to their primary years education.
Recognizing physical development as a prime area of learning, we acknowledge its contribution to all facets of a child’s development. Physical movement and activity are not just vital to their physical well-being but are integral to academic performance. Through developmentally appropriate physical educational experiences, we pave the way for a holistic approach to learning, aligning with our commitment to the overall growth of our students.
Our commitment to physical education goes beyond the playground; it is woven into the very fabric of our curriculum, shaping confident, agile, and intellectually curious individuals. As we guide our students through the early stages of neurological and motor development, we instill in them a lifelong love for movement—a love that extends beyond the Early Years, laying the foundation for a healthy and active life.
