Section 1: Our Approach to Preschool (also called Nursery)
Our curriculum is child-centred, building on a child’s natural curiosity and personal interests. There is an emphasis on direct experience through outdoor activities and field trips. We emphasise regular communication with parents, working together to develop our students.
You can find an overview of our curriculum on the ISA Website, Learning by Stages section: Preschool curriculum
