Early years Programme
Inspiring Children Towards A Growth Mindset
Our International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC), designed for children age 3 to 5 aims to equip the children with a strong foundation in reading, writing and learning in a safe and happy environment.Our teachers are responsible for the knowledge & skills development for children in their learning progress.
The International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC) is built around four Learning Strands that underpin all learning and development, such as Independent and Interdependent, Communicating, Enquiring and Healthy living and physical wellbeing.
Each unit of learning links all four of these Learning Strands to relevant and engaging activities that can be adapted and extended to meet individual needs. At this early stage of development, observation and interactions are the best way to make assessments, which should be continuous and should involve both the child and their parents. Learning journals provide an ideal format for capturing observations throughout a child’s learning journey.
As a prestigious international school KL, SBIS believes that by inspiring the children towards a growth mindset will prepare the children for a rapidly changing environment and the many challenges that lie ahead. The changing global landscape makes it imperative for a collective breadth of skills across ages and breadth of learning opportunities both inside and outside of the classroom
