In Early Years, we use the PYP Early Years framework to guide our curriculum. It provides an inquiry-driven, play-based program where children are empowered to be active participants in their own learning. Through play, our children inquire, question, wonder and theorize about themselves, others and the world around them.

With 130 students from several different nationalities in Early Years, we’re proud of our diverse and inclusive school community. Our Early Childhood program serves students in Playgroup (age 2) - to Kindergarten (age 5), and is on a dedicated developmentally appropriate campus.

We focus on enhancing children's natural curiosity about the world around them. We value the uniqueness of each child as a learner and the need to create an environment that is safe and secure. Establishing positive relationships is vital to success for our children and their families, who entrust us to provide a setting that values fostering a strong home-school connection.

As early childhood educators, we are open-minded and culturally sensitive. We individualize learning outcomes which include a differentiated approach to the development of knowledge, skills, and attitudes as each child builds on their working theories of the world they inhabit.  We use their prior knowledge and previous experiences as a basis for further learning, as together we engage in authentic instructional experiences. Finding a balance between the academic, physical, social, and emotional development within our play-based environment is an integral part of early childhood education.

I am sure your connection with ISD Early Years will be a positive one and we look forward to working in partnership with you.
