Our Curriculum

A clear path for educational success from Age 3.

Cambridge Early Years

The Best Start in Life

At Lollypop Preschool Bali, we believe that young children learn best when they are happy, engaged, and actively playing. We proudly implement the Cambridge Early Years Curriculum, a child-centred, play-based programme that helps young learners develop at their own pace.

OUR EDUCATIONAL APPROACH

5 Key Learning Principles

Built around the latest educational research and child development experts.

1
Experience

Learning should complement the social and cultural factors (like experiences of home and community) that shape a child's learning and development.

2
Active

Children should be actively involved in their own learning, and helped to develop competence, responsibility, confidence and self-worth.

3
Balance

Learning should balance physical, cognitive, language and communication, and social and emotional development.

4
Play

Learning should be age appropriate, play based and child centred. It should include both child- and adult-led activities.

5
Transition

Early years education should help children transition successfully to primary school, moving from informal, play-based learning to teaching that is more formal.

HOLISTIC LEARNING

6 Curriculum Areas

Each area is important and connected to support the whole child.

Communication, Language & Literacy

Speaking, listening, reading, and writing are crucial. We ignite a lifelong curiosity for learning by engaging children with a wide range of texts, stories, and fun language activities.

Mathematics

We help children recognise how mathematics impacts everyday life. Through games and activities, we introduce mathematical language, thinking, and concepts they need for primary school.

Personal, Social & Emotional

Central to their lives, this area underpins all attainment. We help them develop friendships, regulate emotional responses, respect the needs of others, and build strong self-esteem.

Physical Development

We encourage children to develop movement skills through active play, helping them build positive attitudes towards exercise and laying the foundations for healthy, active lives.

Understanding the World

Equipping their natural curiosity to reflect, question, and explore. This lays the vital groundwork for future subjects like science, digital literacy, computing, and humanities.

Creative Expression

Bringing together skills from across the curriculum, this area allows children to communicate their ideas and develop their imagination through art, design, music, dance, and drama.

Phonics & Handwriting

Building confident readers and writers from the very beginning. We implement the Cambridge Phonics and Handwriting approach. Using systematic synthetic phonics, children easily make meaningful links between sounds and letters in a fun, interactive way.

Measuring Progress

Assessing young learners should never be stressful. Our approach is based on Continuous Formative Assessment. Our teachers carefully observe children in their natural learning environment, gathering evidence during play to effectively plan their next exciting steps!

The Lollypop Way

While we follow the structured Cambridge framework, our delivery is 100% Lollypop style. We believe in an eclectic teaching approach, meaning we mix and match the best teaching methods to suit the unique needs of every single child.

English is our main medium of instruction, but we proudly embrace a multilingual approach by including Bahasa Indonesia and Mandarin into our daily fun routines!
