Welcome to LANNA Early Years: Where Dreams Take Flight
At LANNA, we believe the Early Years are a magical time for children, filled with discovery, growth, and limitless potential. Our Early Years programme welcomes children from the age of two, nurturing their development in a safe, warm, and stimulating environment designed for success. From Pre-Nursery through to Reception, we offer a holistic approach, based on the National Curriculum of England, that prepares children for a lifelong love of learning.
Nurturing Young Learners
At LANNA, we are proud to follow the National Curriculum of England and the International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC) a research-based programme that places each child’s interests and developmental needs at the centre of their learning journey. We also place a heavy emphasis on the Reggio-Emilia approach. Our small class sizes, with qualified lead teachers and assistant teachers, ensure that every child receives the individual attention they deserve, fostering their personal and academic growth.
Why Choose LANNA Early Years?
Our Early Years classrooms are vibrant, nurturing spaces where children feel valued, safe, and excited to learn. With the IEYC, children learn through hands-on exploration, curiosity-driven projects, and meaningful, inquiry-based experiences. Our approach embraces play as an essential part of learning, offering children a joyful and engaging start to their educational journey.
Learning Principles of IEYC
The IEYC is designed around eight learning principles, that we consider essential to children’s learning and development.
- The earliest years of life are important in their own right.
- Children should be supported to learn and develop at their own unique pace.
- Play is an essential aspect of all children’s learning and development.
- Learning happens when developmentally-appropriate, teacher-scaffolded and child initiated experiences harness children’s natural curiosity in an enabling environment.
- Independent and interdependent learning experiences create a context for personal development and are the foundation of international mindedness.
- Knowledge and skills development lead to an increasing sense of understanding when children are provided with opportunities to explore and express their ideas in multiple ways.
- Ongoing assessment, in the form of evaluation and reflection, is effective when it involves a learning-link with the home.
Learning should be motivating, engaging and fun, opening up a world of wonder for children where personal interests can flourish.
