Britannia International School in Rome follows the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum, the British system dedicated to educating children in the first phase of their schooling. This curriculum forms the foundation of education in the UK education system and is designed to foster children's development in the early years of learning.

At Britannia International School, the EYFS program welcomes children into an educational environment designed to stimulate curiosity, creativity, and participation. The program combines structured learning with playful and exploratory activities, allowing children to develop linguistic, social, and cognitive skills naturally.

The international preschool in Rome offers an English-language educational environment where children learn through daily experiences and interactions with qualified native-speaking teachers. This environment fosters spontaneous language acquisition and helps children develop confidence in communication.

Educational activities include guided play, creative activities, group experiences, and hands-on activities that stimulate observation and discovery. This approach allows children to learn in an active and engaging way.

The learning areas of the EYFS programme

The Early Years Foundation Stage programme is based on different areas of learning and development, which guide the organisation of educational activities throughout the school day.

Key areas of learning covered by the EYFS curriculum include:

• communication and language
• personal, social and emotional development
• physical development
• literacy
• mathematics
• understanding the world
• expressive arts and design

Through these areas, children are encouraged to explore their surroundings, develop their communication skills and build the first fundamental skills for their subsequent school career.

A calm and stimulating educational environment

Britannia International School, an international preschool in Rome, places great emphasis on creating a welcoming and safe learning environment. The goal is to offer children a place where they can feel confident and motivated throughout their learning journey.

Teachers work to foster a positive atmosphere, encouraging collaboration among children and promoting mutual respect. Through structured activities and free play, children learn to develop independence, self-confidence, and interpersonal skills.

The educational environment is organized to offer diverse learning opportunities, with spaces dedicated to creative activities, reading, symbolic play, and motor skills. This allows children to experiment and gradually develop skills.

The role of teachers in the EYFS journey

At the international preschool in Rome, teachers play a key role in guiding children through their early learning experiences.

The educational team is made up of qualified native English-speaking teachers who collaborate in planning learning activities and monitoring children's progress. Teachers use a variety of educational strategies to support each child's individual development, adapting activities to their different needs and learning paces.

Through careful observation and continuous evaluation of the educational journey, teachers can better understand children's progress and support them in developing their abilities.

An educational path that prepares for primary school

The Early Years Foundation Stage program represents a fundamental phase in preparing children for subsequent entry into international primary school at Rome Britannia International School.

During this period, children develop linguistic, social, and cognitive skills that form the foundation for their future academic career. Educational activities are designed to encourage curiosity, creativity, and the ability to learn independently.

Thanks to a structured educational environment and a teaching approach that is attentive to the needs of children, the school gradually accompanies students towards the next phase of their educational path, promoting a natural transition towards primary school.
