English department
Our educational approach is inspired by the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), which lays a strong foundation for future academic success and lifelong learning.
Early Child Development Program
At Douce Enfance, we believe that every child deserves a joyful, safe, and inspiring environment where learning begins naturally through love, play, and discovery. Our ECD Program is designed to nurture children academically, socially, emotionally, physically, and creatively during their most important developmental years.
We provide a balanced daily routine that combines play-based learning, guided teacher-led activities, creative exploration, and hands-on experiences. Through meaningful indoor and outdoor activities, children learn by doing, touching, experimenting, and interacting with the world around them.
Our classrooms and learning spaces are thoughtfully prepared to support every child’s unique development, interests, creativity, and natural curiosity. We encourage independence, confidence, communication, and a lifelong love for learning in a warm and nurturing environment.
Toddler Program
Our Toddler Program provides a safe, loving, and stimulating environment focused on sensory exploration, movement, communication, and social development. Children are encouraged to discover the world around them through music, play, storytelling, and guided interaction.
Pre-Nursery
At this stage, children are gently introduced to school routines, early independence, sensory play, language development, and social interaction. Learning takes place through play, exploration, creativity, and hands-on experiences. Children are also introduced to early literacy, numeracy, science, and social studies concepts through age-appropriate activities that encourage curiosity and discovery. This year concludes with a graduation ceremony celebrating the children’s achievements and their transition to the Preschool program.
Nursery 1
Children strengthen their independence, self-confidence, and social skills. They further develop their pre-reading and pre-writing skills by recognizing letters, tracing their names, and enriching their vocabulary. In numeracy, they learn to count confidently, recognize numbers, and understand simple concepts of quantity, measurement, and comparison. Social studies help them understand their environment, family, and community, while science activities stimulate their observational skills, their ability to ask questions, and their exploration of the world around them.
Nursery 2
From ages 4 to 5, children consolidate their skills in reading, writing, mathematics, science, and social studies. They are able to write simple sentences correctly, recognize and use numbers, and understand mathematical concepts such as simple fractions (1/2). They also develop their critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills through hands-on activities and projects tailored to their age.
Kindergarten
At this level, children consolidate the skills acquired in preschool and further develop their independence, self-confidence, and sense of responsibility. They progress in literacy by learning to read simple words and sentences, enriching their vocabulary, and writing complete sentences correctly. In numeracy, they deepen their understanding of numbers, basic operations, geometric shapes, measurements, and simple fractions.
Children also develop their scientific knowledge through observation, experimentation, and exploring the world around them. Social studies help them better understand their community, their environment, and their role in society. Through a variety of activities, they strengthen their critical thinking, creativity, problem-solving skills, and communication abilities.
The Kindergarten program is an important step in a child’s educational journey. At the end of the year, the children participate in a graduation ceremony that celebrates their achievements and their preparation for entry into primary school. They then possess the academic, social and emotional foundations necessary for their future success.
Areas of Learning
Academic Development
Children learn through play, repetition, participation, storytelling, music, and hands-on activities. Our learning environment encourages early numeracy, problem-solving, shape recognition, sorting, counting, creativity, and school readiness skills in a fun and engaging way.
Communication and Language
Language development is at the heart of early learning. We help children build vocabulary, listening skills, confidence in speaking, reading readiness, handwriting readiness, and letter recognition. Through songs, storytelling, conversations, and interactive activities, children develop strong communication abilities that support all future learning.
Personal, Social, and Emotional Development
We nurture each child’s self-confidence, independence, emotional well-being, and ability to build positive relationships. Children learn how to express themselves, cooperate with others, manage emotions, follow routines, and develop respect, kindness, and responsibility.
Physical Development
Our program supports both gross motor and fine motor development. Through indoor and outdoor activities, art, games, sensory play, and large play equipment, children strengthen coordination, balance, movement, muscle development, and fine motor control.
At Douce Enfance, we are committed to creating a caring and inspiring atmosphere where children feel valued, secure, confident, and excited to learn every day. Our goal is to prepare children not only for primary school, but also for a lifetime of curiosity, creativity, confidence, and success.
