Our Curriculum

The EYFS framework at DBF encompasses both prime and specific areas of learning to ensure holistic development. The prime areas include Communication and Language, Physical Development, and Personal, Social, and Emotional Development, which are foundational for children’s learning and future success. The specific areas build on these foundations and include Literacy, Mathematics, Understanding the World, and Expressive Arts and Design. Our balanced approach ensures that each child receives a well-rounded early education, tailored to their individual needs and interests.
