Our Programme
Early Years at Stiram
A strong beginning for confident learners
The early years are when children begin to discover themselves as learners. At Stiram, we want children to feel happy to come to school, confident to communicate, curious to explore and willing to try. Through play, conversation, stories, movement, exploration and hands-on experiences, children build the skills, confidence and curiosity they need for the years ahead.
The Early Years Journey
Toddler’s Programme
Curious. Playful. Engaged.
The Stiram programme introduces school through sensory play and hands-on exploration. Children engage in dedicated spaces for art, sensory activities and movement, alongside plenty of outdoor time.

Explore . Experience . Belong
Children settle into school, build relationships, develop language and learn through play, movement, stories and sensory experiences.

Children strengthen reading, writing and mathematical thinking while learning to communicate ideas, apply their learning and complete tasks with increasing independence.
