Last August, Early Years at Britannica were delighted to become one of the very first schools in China to embark on a journey to become an accredited ‘Curiosity Approach’ setting.

The education of children in the early years is of utmost importance, as it is the time when children begin to develop their sense of curiosity and wonder about the world around them.

The Curiosity Approach nurtures curiosity and encourages children to develop their natural inquisitiveness, which can make a significant impact on a child's learning and development.
