Early Years Program: Early Childhood, Junior Kindergarten, Kindergarten
Children’s early learning experiences have a profound effect on their development. During this stage, children’s receptivity and capacity to learn is at its peak and they acquire a variety of important skills, knowledge and attitudes that affect their learning ability, personal development and ability to become contributing members of society.
Knowing this, the Early Years program of CIS provides a stimulating educational environment that encourages young children to learn in a variety of formal and informal ways. |

Learning Through Inquiry
Young children are naturally curious and ask many questions about the things that catch their attention. The Early Years Program of CIS capitalizes on this natural desire to learn and absorb information. |
|
Learning Through Play
There is a strong link between play and learning for young children. Our Early Years Program is designed to provide excellent learning opportunities through play, learning materials are carefully selected to teach problem solving, numeracy, literacy and social skills. This approach helps children to grow socially, emotionally, intellectually and physically. |

Gross & Fine Motor Play
A wide range of interesting indoor and outdoor physical activities are carefully planned to develop children’s gross and fine motor skills. These activities are designed to help children to gain confidence in using their muscles for movement and pre-writing. |
