Cambridge Early Years Curriculum (CEY)

Discover Cambridge Early Years: A World of Learning
Cambridge Early Years is more than a programme—it’s the perfect beginning for young learners aged 3 to 6. Designed to inspire curiosity, foster growth, and meet essential early milestones, it lays a strong foundation for children to thrive both in school and beyond.
As the starting point of the Cambridge Pathway, it sets learners on a clear journey of educational success, guiding them seamlessly from age 3. Whether they transition to Cambridge Primary or another programme, Cambridge Early Years equips children with the knowledge, understanding, and skills they need for the next step in their learning journey.
At the heart of Cambridge Early Years is a play-based approach that empowers children to grow at their own pace. Through exploration, independent decision-making, and self-discovery, they develop a sense of confidence, self-worth, and joy in learning.
The programme offers everything you need for exceptional learning experiences:

  • A holistic, balanced curriculum that nurtures every aspect of a child’s development.
  • Engaging classroom resources that make learning fun and meaningful.

In addition to being thematic and objective based, the curriculum is also research-based to ensure that your child’s brain and skills are developing wholly. Professionally designed by the IPC design-studio, this preschool curriculum covers 6 key areas of learning.

Skills that children will learn

Cambridge Early Years Curriculum

The Cambridge Early Years curriculum: 

  • follows a holistic approach that focuses on the whole child and connects their development with the world and people around them. 
  • is built around four key areas of early childhood development:
  • develops knowledge, understanding and skills through a spiral approach, by revisiting and engaging with topics and skills in more depth at each stage. 
  • helps learners to meet internationally established milestones for early development.
  • prepares learners to easily transition into Cambridge Primary, or the next stage in their education. 
  • content is split into six curriculum areas.

Cambridge Early Years Approach

Active, Balance, Play, Transition

Active

Children should be involved in their own learning through well-planned experiences that help them develop competence, agency, emotional attachment and self-worth.

Balance

Learning should encourage a balance of physical, cognitive, language and communications, and social and emotional development.

Play

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

Transition

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