Building Strong Foundations for
Lifelong Learning!
We strive to partner with parents
in providing quality care and engaging, play-based learning activities for
every preschool child in our local community.
At the British International School
of Sulaymaniyah, our preschool programme offers a warm and stimulating
environment where young children can explore, learn, and flourish. Our
dedicated educators are passionate about nurturing a love for learning, using a
well-rounded curriculum that blends play-based exploration with structured
activities.
Our curriculum is specially crafted
to meet the developmental needs of 4-year-olds, focusing on the seven key areas
of learning and development from the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS)
framework:
•Literacy (reading and
writing)
•Mathematics
•Communication and Language
•Personal, Social, and
Emotional Development
•Physical Development
•Understanding the World
•Expressive Arts and Design
Here’s
a brief overview of each of the seven areas in the EYFS (Early Years Foundation
Stage) framework:

and writing skills through storytelling, letter recognition, and phonics,
encouraging children to enjoy books and begin forming letters and simple words.

Introduces basic concepts of
numbers, counting, and shapes, helping children understand patterns,
measurements, and simple problem-solving in a fun and interactive way.

skills, developing children’s ability to express themselves clearly, follow
instructions, and engage in conversations.

build positive relationships and respect for others.

motor skills, such as coordination, balance, and hand-eye coordination, through
activities that promote health, self-care, and physical activity.
