Eton House Surabaya

EtonHouse Curriculum:
EtonHouse believes the features of an effective high quality early childhood education program must include:

• The child as central to all decision making and planning
• The pedagogical consideration of listening to children
• Positive, respectful, reciprocal relationships (children, parents and staff)
• The integration of knowledge, skills dispositions and attitudes
• Proactive social justice strategies
• Play as the central mode of learning and development for the youngest children
• Intellectually, socially and emotionally satisfying experiences
• The active participation of families
• A responsive and well resourced physical environment

Our Curriculum
The EtonHouse early childhood curriculum framework is organised according to the following Early Learning Areas:

• The child in a social and cultural context : Understanding self and others:
• The child as a communicator (incorporating language, multiple literacies and the symbolic languages)
• The thinking child : Building knowledge of the world
• The physical child : Building health, safety and physical understandings
• The child of the 21st century: Building environmental understandings

New directions:
Our curriculum framework guides our teachers in planning and working with our children. The development of learning experiences is grounded in the teacher's ability to observe children's interactions with peers, materials and adults and to assess children's current interests, strengths and understandings as the basis for all subsequent planning. Teachers aim to integrate learning e.g. a cooking experience offers opportunities to explore, mathematical and scientific understandings as well as supporting a child's positive sense of self.

Within the curriculum, there must be clear progression of long and medium term goals (centre / term based) as well as short term goals (based on observation of the individual child) with consideration given to the degree of support offered by time, space, materials and the social context (grouping of children). Adults play a key role in extending and developing children's understandings through ongoing interaction (questioning, problem posing, focusing a child's awareness). All curricula is evaluated using documentary evidence of teaching and learning.

Our centre's integrated hands-on approach supports our young children in the long term for the future and in the short term to transit into the Local Primary Schools and to other Primary International Schools).

Our curriculum framework guides our teachers in planning and working with the children's diverse background experiences and interests to facilitate their learning journey and reaching their optimal potential.
