A GUIDE TO OUR CURRICULUM

Image_TSK_Kuwait_2025_017
From creche through to graduation, children at The Sunshine Kindergarten (TSK) follow the British Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum.

The EYFS provides the best possible start to your child’s education, laying the foundations for long-term success and carefully nurturing their social, emotional, and physical growth. Supported by our caring early years experts, your child will play, explore, and discover, hitting key developmental milestones and having lots of fun.

THE EARLY YEARS FOUNDATION STAGE (EYFS) CURRICULUM

At The Sunshine Kindergarten (TSK) in Kuwait, all our children follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework. The EYFS - which is part of the English National Curriculum - sets the standard for the learning, development, and care of children from birth through to the age of five.

Our curriculum features seven key learning and developmental milestones, which our curious learners work towards through carefully planned play activities. Adapted to the unique likes, dislikes, and preferences of each child – and providing endless opportunities for fun and discovery – the curriculum ensures our children flourish academically, emotionally, and socially.

OUR CRÈCHE PROGRAMME

For many of our children, creche is their first educational experience. It’s a big milestone, and our priority is to make sure that every child feels safe, cared for, and happy.

Guided by our nurturing EYFS curriculum team, our youngest children take part in a variety of stimulating play-based activities that encourage exploration and discovery. These include messy and sensory play, which are an integral part of our learners’ experience. We encourage them to explore the textures, smells, and appearances of different materials and media. Messy play also encourages our children to build, imagine, experience, investigate, observe, predict, and use their senses.

We carefully support our children with their understanding, listening, speaking, and attention skills, too. Whether your child is a native English-speaker or learning English as an additional language, we’ll create fun, age-appropriate opportunities for them to express themselves and develop their communication. This builds confidence and helps them to make friends and interact with other adults.

OUR PRE-KINDERGARTEN CURRICULUM

In pre-kindergarten, our learners begin to grow in confidence and independence, as we encourage them to share their likes and dislikes. Exploring every corner of our campus, our students enjoy hands-on play activities that ensure they hit the key EYFS curriculum learning milestones. We also support them to connect with the world and people around them, develop their movement and motor skills, and collaborate with friends and teachers.

In every lesson and activity, learning is tailored to the needs of each child. This enables them to direct their experiences – and ensures they’re doing what they love.

OUR KINDERGARTEN PROGRAMME

Our kindergarten EYFS curriculum is the perfect preparation for the challenges and opportunities of primary school.

Building on the fantastic progress made in creche and through our pre-kindergarten curriculum, our children enjoy immersive play-based experiences that encourage problem-solving, creative thinking, and teamwork. Your child will be guided by our brilliant teachers and teaching assistants, who will ensure they learn in a way and at a pace that’s right for them. Our staff will also encourage them to take the lead and direct their own activities, including making the most of our flexible classrooms and outdoor learning spaces.

Our EYFS curriculum encourages discovery, exploration, and role-play, which nurtures physical growth, communication and language, and personal, social, and emotional skills. This holistic approach ensures our children hit their seven EYFS developmental milestones.
