Home / Cambridge Early Years
We deeply understand and champion the fact that the tiny tots learn best in a friendly environment that allows them to be simply kids, in the first place. We want them to have fun, be happy, feel safe, and grow in confidence as they all deserve a great start. The early years curriculum taught by certified teachers at CPS Global School are age-appropriate and equivalent to Kindergarten/Montessori with periodic assessments and reporting tools to track the child’s progress. They lay a strong foundation, help children develop at their own pace, make their own choices, build feelings of competence, emotional attachment, and self-worth. Also, they prepare children for an easy transition to Cambridge Primary and the rest of the Cambridge Pathway, helping them move from play-based learning to teaching that is more structured. With that, we offer the youngest students a valuable introduction to learning at an early age.
Waterford Institute was founded in 1976 in Utah, U.S.A by Dr. Dustin Heuston, a groundbreaking educator who employed proven research to build a comprehensive, ‘Waterford Early Learning’ curriculum. This all-embracing technology-based curriculum is offered at CPS Global School, Thirumazhisai for learners of 3 to 6 years. It is designed to build the academic foundation and gives each child a personalised learning experience tailored to his or her ability and pace, making it ideal to master the foundational skills in early reading, math, and science concepts. To complement this learning, the multimedia lab at CPS Global is enriched with over 7000+ activities, songs, and e-books; the total solution to each and every learner is to help and abridge the achievement gap and build critical skills.

Cambridge Early Years is offered at CPS Global School, Anna Nagar. This curriculum has been developed by Cambridge International and Cambridge University Press, both part of the world-renowned University of Cambridge. Typically for 3 to 6 year olds, it is the start of an exciting educational journey that helps young learners develop adequate knowledge, understanding and skills they need to make the best possible start in life. It is built around four areas of child development and offers engaging classroom resources, a range of assessment approaches to measure young learners’ progress. The three levels of early year curriculum are very flexible to cater to every child’s needs, capabilities and interests.
The Cambridge Early Years Curriculum has been developed by a team of early years and subject-matter experts who have brought together evidence of best practice from early years education across the world. It reflects best practice in a way that embraces local, regional, national contexts and support cognitive, communication, social and emotional development.
The Cambridge Early Years curriculum supports physical, cognitive, communication, social and emotional development.
There is a broad spectrum of experiences and abilities from which young learners start their educational journey. The Cambridge Early Years curriculum content is divided between six areas of learning.
Cambridge Early Years provides a solid foundation that learners can build on as they progress in their education. The curriculum offers a holistic approach that focuses on the whole child and connects their development with the world and people around them. The content is divided between six learning areas, but they are all connected and can be taught together. They encourage the development of knowledge, understanding and skills through a spiral approach by revisiting and engaging with topics and skills at deeper levels and in different contexts across the stages.
While the young learners struggle in their own areas throughout the educational process, providing the right opportunity to develop right skills and instill a passion for learning lays strong foundation to become lifelonglearners. The early years at CPS Global, is all about making sure children are steeped in meaningful experiences in the creation of a child’s first “sense of self” and ability to determine how they should function in relation to other people.
Our classrooms are fondly referred to as think rooms with extended learning hubs to take curiosity beyond the books and the four walls to impart this interesting curriculum! Let’s take a walk through these learning spaces.
Thomas Edison said “Genius is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration.” When we think of all the skills a child needs to learn to be able to succeed academically, we often think of reading, writing, math and science. One of the most important skills children need to develop is their creativity. Creativity is what children use to write stories, solve problems, play music, design arts and crafts, perform complex math operations and investigate science experiments. We allow their wild imagination to take wings and creativity unleashed.

Communication is the key! Some of the best ways to improve the communication skills of kids are to work on their articulation, pronunciations and extempore through fun activities such as poetry, storytelling, writing, drama, conversations and dialogues. We promote communication skills early on by helping children make connections between what they hear and what they see. Our classrooms, corridors, the play areas are all hotspots for promoting engaging talks! We have very stimulating conversation times throughout the day in our classrooms where children have access to the why, the who, the where and the what of happenings around us.

Play is the highest expression of human development in childhood, for it alone is the free expression of what is in a child’s soul. It’s more than wethink; it is a way for the children to familiarize themselves with the world while exploring and testing their own limits. At CPS Global, children have indoor and outdoor play areas. Children get new experiences during indoor play activities. Whether it is a ball pool or trampoline or giant Lego building blocks there is something that children will learn from it. Apart from providing a weather proofed, pollution free and hygienic play area, the indoor play area provides a cozy area for safe creative play. The outdoor play area allows them to have fun while fine tuning their gross motor skills and ofcourse encouraging independent play.

It is our fourth pillar of a child’s education alongside reading, writing and speaking. The digital world provides platforms that allow us to connect, collaborate and open up immense opportunities to learn important issues. Item powers innovation in ways that were unimaginable just a few years ago. This is precisely what a child at CPS Global Digi Den lab will learn. Itencompasses e-learning skills that strengthens thinking and learning instudents. Every student is unique and differently paced, the lab supports thatwhile arriving at the same end goals.

For our young learners, science is just an extension of their everyday world. We don’t have to teach young children how to wonder, discover, and explore through play because they do it naturally. Early science experiences at CPSGlobal set a child up for school success by fostering positive attitudes toward learning the subject. Science for us is not stand alone. A telescope, amicroscope, a weighing scale, a rain stick… The laboratory has everything that our learners will need to cogitate.

Students learn to express themselves in different ways not just verbally. When the arts are integrated in the early childhood curriculum, children get opportunities to express themselves visually what they may not be able to say verbally. Integrating artistic learning in early childhood education allows children to explore their own creativity, spontaneity, imagination, play, experimentation and loosens inhibitions thereby promoting freedom of expression.

Young learners of CPS Global experience a spread of co-curricular and extra curricular opportunities that nurture and celebrate individual character, help develop social skills to get along with others, whilst building self-esteem and self-reliance. Together young hearts and minds are moulded to be resilient, respect people from every walk of life, and choose to make a difference in the lives of others.
