At EAS, our Early Childhood Education curriculum is carefully crafted to cater to the developmental needs of children aged 3 to 5 years. We employ a comprehensive, play-based approach that balances academic learning with social, emotional, and physical development. Our curriculum is aligned with the American Common Core State Standards, ensuring a robust educational foundation while incorporating elements of the UAE's cultural and moral values. Our areas of focus includes:
Early literacy is a cornerstone of our program. Through interactive storytelling, phonics exercises, and vocabulary-building activities, children are encouraged to express themselves verbally and through writing, fostering a love for reading and communication.
Our math curriculum introduces basic concepts such as numbers, shapes, patterns, and measurements. Hands-on activities and games make learning math fun and engaging, helping children develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
In our science lessons, students build on their natural curiosity by using the Engineering Design Cycle and scientific methods like investigating, planning, creating and testing. Through hands-on activities and exploration, they learn about the natural world, basic science concepts, and the value of caring for the environment.
We introduce children to the world around them, focusing on community, culture, and traditions. This includes understanding the role and values of Islam in UAE society, fostering respect and appreciation for their heritage.
Creativity is a vital part of our curriculum. Children participate in art, music, and drama activities, which allow them to express themselves and develop their imagination and fine motor skills.
Physical activity is essential for young children. Our program includes daily physical activities that promote gross motor skills, coordination, and overall health and well-being.
Our ECE program aims to achieve the following learning objectives:
Foster critical thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making skills through interactive and hands-on learning experiences.
Develop strong communication skills, both verbal and written, to express ideas clearly and confidently.
Promote self-awareness, empathy, and positive relationships with peers and adults. Children learn to manage emotions and develop a sense of responsibility.
Enhance fine and gross motor skills through structured and unstructured physical activities.
Install an appreciation for Arabic values and UAE heritage while embracing global cultures and traditions.
Our early years learning spaces include the music area, messy play, sensory & experimental zones, mind-challenge & community helper corners to support all-round development.

Perspectives from our students and parents
To EAS family and community, I would like to thank the EAS community for quickly adapting to the sudden transition online following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic to facilitate classes and continue to conduct business as usual. In my opinion, teachers have risen to this challenging condition to continue facilitating our kids’ learning using different computer-enhanced and innovative pedagogical strategies. Complementing the efforts of management and teachers, EAS administrative and technical staff have also demonstrated an outstanding level of dedication by discharging their duties diligently using appropriate technological tools. Well done.
