Founded on the belief that all young
children, regardless of their backgrounds, should enjoy rich, lively
experiences, Curiosity Corner combines the best practices in early
childhood education, interesting materials, family involvement and
staff support to ensure the success for your children. It has been
matched to meet the EYFS Statutory Framework with opportunities for
children to work towards the early learning goals across the six
areas of learning. |
