The school has introduced the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Program (PYP)
and has gained full authorization.

In a typical day, students will play with puzzles and other manipulative toys, engage in outdoor play in a small Early Years playground and imaginative play in the classroom home-corner, as well as taking part in art and craft activities, and singing or making music.

In addition, the program begins to lay the groundwork for academic success. The class teacher reads to students daily, and introduces letters of the alphabet in a fun and practical way, starting with the children's own names. They also play simple math games and learn about numbers through the use of hands-on activities.

As part of the PYP program, students focus on learning about themselves. The teachers emphasize basic social skills - saying hello and goodbye and teaching the children to share and to be respectful and responsible. The preschool program is very language-rich and encourages the development of communication skills, including basic English for ESL students.

This is all done in an atmosphere that is nurturing, low stress and highly engaging.

Maximum class size is 15. Our Preschool is staffed with a full time classroom teacher and a full time teacher aide.
