Kindergarten Curriculum

Our Kindergarten curriculum is aligned with the Early Years Foundation Stage framework outlined by the UK Ministry of Education and covers the seven key areas for learning and development.

The UK EYFS curriculum aims to ignite curiosity, foster enthusiasm for learning and develop children's' capacity to learn. It also helps them form healthy relationships while thriving as confident, autonomous and curious individuals. Below are three key areas that are particularly crucial in supporting the development of children at this stage.

best kindergartens in Souissi to learn English

Communication and Language Development

Children experience a rich linguistic environment, enabling them to develop their confidence while practising their communication skills during Arabic and French tuition. Both languages are introduced from the outset to prepare the students for our school's trilingual curriculum pathways.

At our multicultural Kindergarten school, children are encouraged to express themselves with others and learn how to speak and listen effectively in a variety of situations. Over the years, our excellent language tuition has led to parents regarding us as the best Kindergarten to learn English in Rabat.

Physical Development

At this early stage, it is crucial for children to engage in physical play. Interactive, explorative play helps young children develop coordination and control as they develop fine and gross motor skills.

Personal, Social & Emotional Development

We are committed to ensuring young learners develop a positive sense of who they are and establish positive relationships with one another. At our private Kindergarten, children are taught to respect others as they develop social skills. They also understand how to enact appropriate behaviour in groups and be confident in their flourishing abilities.

Every child who completes a given task given properly will be sent home with a “Well Done Badge” to recognise his or her efforts at the end of each week. We also hold a class Dojo for year 1, whereby each child has a Dojo Character named after them and collects points daily based on different criteria, such as good team work, hard work, being kind, being on task. The Class Dojo also allows teachers to remove points if the child displays an undesirable behavior.

To embed the above principles, our Kindergarten's educational approach centres on four specific areas:

Literacy Development
Helping students to identify the sounds of letters is fundamental to literacy. Our preschool programme offers a wide range of reading materials in English, French and Arabic to stir a passion for literacy.

Mathematics
Our educators work with young students to help them develop:

counting skills
foundational use of numbers
simple addition and subtraction skills
mathematical problem-solving, including doubling, halving and sharing
knowledge of shapes, spaces, and measures.

Understanding the World
We offer young students a variety of opportunities to understand their physical world and their community by encouraging them to explore, observe and learn about other people, places and the external environment.

We also organise events to promote and reinforce positive behaviour in school, such as: Tolerance day, Pink Shirt/Blue Shirt Day, not to mention our morning assemblies “Good Manners – Good Habits” time talk where children have the opportunity to learn about essential social skills using different approaches.

Expressive Arts
Enjoyable activities in art, music, movement, dance and role-play give students the chance to share their thoughts, ideas and feelings. Young learners are also encouraged to explore through play as they access a wide range of media and materials.

Kindergarten Parent Testimonials

The teachers at KGS constitute a great team, attentive to our children with lots of great ideas to entertain them I love the constant welcome we receive every day, and the patience and care the school has for the students.

— Jana, Kindergarten parent

My daughter, Yakout, is now 4 years old and has been at KGS since she was two. The main reason we chose the school was the trilingual kindergarten, so our little girl can learn in English, French and Arabic. We also love the diverse nationalities at the school and our daughter has made friends with children from all over the world. After two years at KGS, little Yakout speaks English fluently and is even teaching us! The team at KGS is always smiling and cares so much about the student’s safety and happiness. I would highly recommend the school to anyone looking for a school with a focus on education and a family atmosphere.

— Firdaous, Kindergarten parent

My son Mehdi is nearly 5 and joined KGS just over a year ago. During this time, I have seen huge progress in his behaviour, self-confidence and he has learned so much! He joined with basic English but the teachers have supported him hugely and he has made great improvements. The school meets our expectations as parents but the most important thing is that my son loves it and is always excited to go to school in the morning!
