The International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC) is a pioneering educational programme designed specifically for young learners between the ages of 2-6 years. It is comprehensive, research-informed and evidence-based on learning in early childhood. It promotes playful learning experiences that nurture key skills required for progression into primary learning and later life.
The IEYC represents the beginning of a child’s learning journey with the International Curriculum and is currently improving early learning in over 60 countries.
Capturing curiosity, where learning begins with wonder.
Meaningful learning experiences
The IEYC has been developed to provide breadth and depth of learning within meaningful experiences so that children understand what effective learning is and develop their capacity to make the most of learning in school.
It has a progressive pedagogy that is playful, promotes high levels of child well-being and involvement, and helps teachers respond to child-initiated experiences through learning-focused interactions and sustained shared thinking.
01 Knowledge-rich narratives
Teachers and leaders are provided with over 20 units of learning that provide knowledge-rich narratives for learning, which enables students to learn about a broad range of themes within their school community and beyond.
02 Flexible in design
Recognising that each learner is unique, the IEYC offers a flexible framework that can be adapted to various educational settings and cultural contexts, making it suitable for kindergartens and pre-schools worldwide. The curriculum is designed so that schools can shape their offer to meet local context and needs, and teachers can best support their children’s learning and development.
03 Parents are valued partners
The IEYC values the role of parents in the educational journey, promoting strong home-school partnerships and encouraging parental involvement in playful learning experiences. It unites teachers and parents around a common theme of learning. It incorporates parents as valued key partners, all to help their children learn better, broader, and deeper.
