The kindergarten offers flexible programs with a minimum of 3 mornings up to a full-day for kids 18 months up to 3.5 years old while the “big kids” or kindergarten groups (between 3.5 years to 6 years old) have between 5 mornings to 5 full-day programs with the possibility of extending the day after school activities. Each class is fully complemented composed of a maximum of 18 children, 1 foreign early childhood specialist, and 3 assistants.

To kick off the learning journey at the Kiddies preschool level, a major focus point would be the development of creativity, self-expression, social emotional skills, as well as motor skills. The qualified, experienced overseas teachers will guide the young learners through a playful, exciting, and uplifting learning atmosphere and is strongly influenced by a north European play-based approach that focuses heavily on addressing both the development of the ‘whole’ child holistically and the needs of the individual child.
