What is Early Childhood Education?

Early Childhood Education is the foundational stage where children are prepared for the next cycle of learning, primary school. Also known as preschool, this phase complements the education children receive at home. It is a continuous and lasting process of quality social interactions that enable children to maximize their potential and develop life competencies.

Preschool or Early Childhood Level 

The Early Childhood section is part of a Christian-Catholic, value-oriented bilingual institution. It offers a holistic education in Maternal, Initial 1-2, and First Grade. The PYP is initiated here, aiming to shape children into responsible and empathetic agents of their environment. 

As the phase before mandatory primary education, it stimulates early childhood development through opportunities for peer interaction, fostering ongoing growth with a focus on the IB learner profile, life competencies, and immersion in the English language. These learning experiences promote independence, communicative skills, and quality social interactions.
