At Bedford Kindergarten, we deliver the British EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) curriculum enriched with Montessori teaching methods to provide a comprehensive and child-centered approach to learning. The EYFS framework is built on seven key learning areas: Communication and Language, Physical Development, Personal, Social, and Emotional Development, Literacy, Mathematics, Understanding the World, and Expressive Arts and Design. These areas are further broken down into 17 specific early learning goals, ensuring a well-rounded educational foundation.
Incorporating Montessori principles, we emphasize hands-on activities, independence, and self-directed learning, fostering each child's natural curiosity and confidence. This thoughtful integration allows us to tailor our teaching to the individual needs of every child, encouraging critical thinking, problem-solving, and a lifelong love for learning in an environment that values both structure and creativity.
