Two programmes. One beginning.

From age two

The Toddler Programme

The beginning of the learning journey. A calm, thoughtfully prepared environment where children learn through movement, choice, play and exploration, building independence from the very beginning.

3+

From age three

The Early Years Programme

A play-based, inquiry-driven approach grounded in the philosophy and framework of the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP)*. Across EYP 1, 2 and 3, children build strong foundations in language, early literacy, problem-solving, movement and social development through purposeful exploration.

Movement.

Purposeful movement, practical-life activities and outdoor play build coordination, concentration and growing independence.

Rhythm.

Familiar routines, stories, songs and everyday responsibilities give children the confidence to participate, communicate and do more for themselves.

Care.

Warm, respectful environments help every child feel secure, known and ready to explore, collaborate and express themselves.

Discovery.

From Montessori-inspired exploration to play-based inquiry, children learn by choosing, questioning, creating and experiencing the world around them.

Readiness is more than knowing more.

  • Joins in routines
  • Communicates with confidence
  • Explores with curiosity
  • Manages small responsibilities
  • Engages more independently

So children move into the Primary Years feeling secure, capable and ready to grow.
