From 9:30 to 11:30
The International Kindergarten School is for children aged 3 to 6, offering a serene, stimulating, and multicultural environment, where learning occurs naturally through play.
Children, accompanied by native English-speaking teachers, participate daily in multidisciplinary activities that foster linguistic and cognitive development, encouraging discovery and the joy of learning.
This first and fundamental cycle of the school path represents a crucial stage in children’s personal and social growth. They learn to experience moments of autonomy, to socialize with mutual respect, and to collaborate with peers in an educational context that values their individual inclinations.
The carefully designed school environment is intended to be welcoming, functional, and stimulating, so that children can experience every school day in a positive and engaging atmosphere.
Early Years Curriculum
The educational program is based on the English National Early Years Curriculum, an internationally renowned approach, personalized to meet the specific developmental needs of children in the 3-6 age group.
