First Steps Toward the IB Journey
Nurturing Natural Curiosity
Young children are naturally curious, driven by an innate desire to explore and ask questions. In our EY Prep program for 2-year-olds, we embrace and nurture this curiosity, laying the foundation for a lifelong love of learning.
Inquiry-Based Learning
Encourages curiosity through questions, exploration, and discovery
Play-Based Learning
Fosters creativity and problem-solving through hands-on, imaginative play
By combining these approaches, children actively engage with the world around them while developing essential skills
Experienced Educators Who Inspire Growth
Our teachers create a warm and supporting environment where children engage in collaborative play and inquiry-based activities. With carefully planned learning experiences, young learners grow academically, socially, and emotionally while having fun.
Purposefully Designed Learning Spaces
Learning areas at KIS are thoughtfully crafted to spark creativity, wonder, and discovery. Each area encourages inquiry and supports development across multiple curriculum domains. Spaces include:

Play Areas

Activities

Building Corners

Exporation
Safe and Supportive Environment
Children thrive in a welcoming, secure environment that blends indoor and outdoor learning. Through play, they build independence, self-confidence, and a sense of responsibility while developing academic and social skills.
Individualized Attention for Every Child
With a low teacher to student ratio, each child receives personalized attention, ensuring they feel supported and cared for during this critical stage of development.
A Holistic Start to the IB Journey
By integrating the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) learning areas within the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) framework, EY Prep nurtures curiosity, creativity, and growth, preparing children for the exciting journey ahead in the IB Curriculum.
The Early Years in the PYP
Young children are naturally curious, driven by their innate desire to explore and ask questions. In our Early Years program, tailored for children aged 3 to 6, we harness and nurture this innate curiosity. Our experienced teachers foster an environment where students inquire collaboratively with their peers and create engaging play scenarios that challenge young minds.
Our learning environments are purposefully designed and equipped to inspire creativity, wonder and exploration. These spaces include areas for imaginative play, water activities, sand play, construction, art, and more. Each learning center is carefully planned and resourced to support inquiry across various curriculum areas.
At KIS, our Early Years program offers a welcoming and secure learning environment, both indoors and outdoors, where children discover and learn through play. Here, academic and social learning integrate seamlessly, fostering independence, self-confidence, and a sense of responsibility in each learner. With a low teacher-to-student ratio, your child will receive individualized care and support.
The PYP in the Early Years at KIS lays a strong foundation for children as they progress into the lower grade school at KIS.
