Our Early Childhood Program encourages children as young as three to develop a love of learning.
Curriculum Assessment A Typical Day
One of the primary objectives of our ECP program, is to give all the children the confidence and enthusiasm to become life-long learners with an appreciation of, and respect for others.
Early childhood is a particularly significant period in human development. Young children are natural inquirers with a unique view of how the world works. Children need a safe place to learn and develop a clear understanding of our complex world. We provide children with numerous opportunities to learn through exploration and experimentation. Students learn to develop their ability to think critically, appreciate difference and feel compassion. Children use inquiry to explore the joys of learning by observing, listening and experimenting, and learn to make sense of the world by using imagination and reason.
Primary School Readiness
Our program provides developmentally appropriate learning experiences that allow children to develop socially, emotionally and physically through play, art, music and literature. The curriculum focuses on the growth of the developing child and reflects our commitment to the Primary Years Program of the International Baccalaureate. By providing enriching and engaging experiences to children daily, children develop the skills needed for primary school in a natural and unhurried environment.
