Early Years Programme (EYP)
Early Years Programme (EYP)
A joyful beginning to a lifelong journey of learning
Students in Kindergarten1 (3-4 years old), Kindergarten 2 (4-5 years old) and Transition (5-6 years old) make up the Early Years section of our school, and follow 4 Units of Inquiry, rather than 6, in a year.
At ISB, we know that the Early Years are a precious stage in a child’s life. It is here that confidence, curiosity, and a love for learning are born. Our programme creates a safe, nurturing, and inspiring environment where children feel happy, cared for, and motivated to explore the world around them.
Early Years students are fully immersed in the English language, allowing them to develop their linguistic skills immediately and with very positive results.
What makes our Early Years unique?
Learning through play and exploration
Children learn best when they are actively engaged. Our hands-on, play-based approach allows pupils to explore, discover, and develop essential skills naturally and joyfully.
Dedicated teachers and personalised attention
With a focus on individual learning and experienced Early Years educators, every child receives the care, support, and encouragement they need to thrive. We celebrate each child’s individuality and guide their growth at their own pace.
English immersion from the start
From the very first day, children are immersed in an English-speaking environment. This not only builds strong communication skills but also gives them a natural advantage as they continue their international education.
Enrichment through specialist subjects
Even in Early Years, children benefit from specialist lessons in Music, Art, and Physical Education. These experiences spark creativity, self-expression, and physical well-being, building a well-rounded foundation.
Strong partnership with families
We believe education is most powerful when families and school work together. Parents receive regular updates and are invited to take part in school life, creating a close and trusting partnership that supports every child.
Preparation for the future
Our Early Years programme is carefully designed to ensure a smooth transition into Primary education. Children leave this stage confident, independent, and ready to embrace the next steps of their learning journey.
