Bill Gates said “The first five years have so much to do with how the next 80 turnout.”The Emotional, Social, Cognitive and Physical Development of young children has a direct effect on their overall development and on the adult they will become.

Children learn as they play. Most importantly, in play children learn “how to learn”. Maria Montessori says “Free the child’s potential and you will transform him in to the world!’

Neurological research shows that the early years playa key role in children’s brain development. Babies begin to learn about the world around them from a very early age – including during the prenatal, perinatal (immediately before and after birth) and postnatal period.

Children’s early experiences – the bonds they form with their parents and their first learning experiences – deeply affect their future Physical, Cognitive, Emotional and Social Development. Optimizing the early years of children’s lives is the best investment we can make as a society in ensuring their future success.

It is to meet this endeavor that the curriculum of “Curious Minds” has been developed taking the best practices and the philosophies of Froebel, Maria Montessori, Reggio Emilia and the Early Years Foundation stage developed as the National Curriculum of England, to ensure that we are able to create and nurture the curiosity of the child, to enable the child to experience the learning which will help acquire the knowledge, skills, understanding and the attitudes through playful experience.
