Our Early Years & Infants and Infants sections are the foundational formative years where children learn through play, imagination, curiosity and discovery until the age of 7 years. We operate on the timeless Islamic teaching of ‘Play with your children for 7 (age 0-7 years); discipline them for 7 (age 8-14 years) and be their companions for 7 (age 15-21 years).
Our Early Years & Infants program is structured into thematic learning units, designed to provide a multitude of immersive learning experiences for young children and to stimulate their curiosity and self-reflexivity. These experiences are thoughtfully crafted not only to meet the individual learning needs of children but also to nurture and encourage their evolving interests. These experiences lay essential groundwork, equipping them with foundational knowledge that will prove invaluable in their future education and development. Our teachers’ attune themselves to the needs and interests of the children through a strong partnership with parents, thereby nurturing each child’s shakhsiyah and wider development.
Our Early Years & Infants curriculum incorporates the UK Early Years & Infants Developmental Matters Framework and harmonises this with the principles of Shakhsiyah Education.
In line with our principle of Halaqah, our students gather daily in a dialogic reflective circle to think about, discuss and reflect on the application of Islamic teachings and what these mean for their shakhsiyah and for their life.
Our principle of Balaghah is integrated in our Qur’ānic Arabic Programme, for our young learners to understand, value and study the language in which the Qur’ān was revealed.
