Curriculum type

Curriculum planning

Our curriculum is inquiry-based, following the emergent interests of the students. EIS uses the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework to evaluate and support the children’s learning and growth.

Learning / Teaching approach and activities

Every classroom is large and spacious with plenty of natural light and natural wooden furniture, providing our children with a calming and welcoming environment to learn and explore. Our expansive campus is set in a beautiful natural environment, filled with a variety of flora and fauna for our children to observe and care for. With our loose parts area, active playground, open playground and wild classroom, our students have the optimum space for learning and play. Our teachers often conduct learning activities outdoors, enabling our students to truly learn in nature with nature. Each of our play areas have been carefully designed with ramps, tunnels and climbing walls for our students to naturally develop their gross motor skills whilst learning how to carry out risk assessments safely as well as containing a mud kitchen, sandpit, and stream where children may enjoy role-play or some quieter activities which draw on their fine motor skills such as scooping and pouring.
However, our most unique attraction is our Forest Academy, with acres of outdoor space filled with play areas as well as many natural features, such as woodlands, rivers and walking trails leading up into the hills.

Assessment of children’s learning experiences

EIS implements the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework to evaluate and support their student’s learning. The EYFS uses a range of benchmarks spanning different age brackets, enabling teachers to identify progress markers within those brackets. Through observations and regular parent-teacher communications, teachers make on-going formative assessments of their students, ensuring they are developing holistically in each learning area. In addition, EIS incorporates our own seven attributes into our teaching and evaluations, which we feel are key characteristics to foster in early years children.
Each child’s learning journey is recorded using the online platform Tapestry, where both parents and teachers upload observations to compile a portfolio. Each semester, the teachers will share a report with their student’s families and discuss areas of progress and areas of continuing development.

School vision and mission

At Eminent, we believe that every child is unique. By cultivating an enabling environment for our children to thrive healthily, flourish cheerfully and uncover their infinite possibilities in, we believe each child can reach their full potential, live their life to the fullest and shine at their brightest.

Support to students

With spacious classrooms and small teacher-student ratios, the individual needs of each student can be readily met, with additional support staff available to work closely with class teachers to appropriately support student's needs.

Joining the On-site Pre-school Rehabilitation Services. EIS works closely with different partners to provide our staff and students with guidance, training, and support.

Parent-teacher association

Other activities / communication with parents

We engage our parents in a range of school events, volunteering opportunities, decision making processes, as well as community collaboration. Our class parent representative-school staff group, “Friends of EIS” hold regular meetings to discuss school affairs related to the children.
Our teachers conduct day-to-day communications with parents via our online platform, Tapestry to share and receive observations and updates with their student’s parents. They also give monthly phone calls to each family or simply enjoy a more informal discussion at arrival or dismissal. Furthermore, we actively involve our families to discuss the children’s learning and emerging interests and work together to chart the next stages of their inquiry.
