Our preschool is a specially prepared learning environment with activities designed to meet the needs of children in the 7 areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage framework (EYFS):
1. Communication and Language.
2. Physical Development.
3. Personal, Social and Emotional Development.

We employ a blended curriculum consisting of the EYFS modules and key components of the Nigerian curriculum. The main learning styles we use to approach our curriculum are Montessori, Reggio-Emilia and Forest School.
The school is equipped with ample outdoor play areas and we have structured schedules that allow for nature walks, quiet time, creative/imaginative play, as well as daily reading sessions for groups and individuals.
Members of staff include an Early Years Co-ordinator, trained teachers and assistants, and caregivers. Our teachers are one of the school’s most valued assets. Teachers are continually being trained in the relevant pedagogy and school management to ensure that all are up to date on professional teaching competencies.
All school staff are held in high esteem, and team work is encouraged. At Home Also, we do our utmost to make school a happy, vibrant, and cosy place to learn and teach!
