Early Year (Foundation Stage)

• Age – from 3 to 5 years,
• The period is 2 years.

For the youngest students on campus, a safe environment has been created with a motivating and enjoyable learning experience that allows students to become confident and independent.  In the early years, rapid development takes place, the experience of a child aged from birth to five years has a great impact on his future, so the program is based on four principles:

• A unique approach to each child,
