Infant Section

From 3 to 6 years old

The children in the Infant Section learn through participating in hands-on experiences designed to build self confidence and autonomy. Our curriculum is planned to develop social and emotional intelligence and as well as build a solid base for future academic learning.

We believe each child is unique with regards to his or her own individual learning process. Therefore, we strive to be creative and flexible to meet each child’s needs and work with different learning styles. 
 
The children learn through a cross curricular, topic-based approach. Activities are always developmentally appropriate and work all areas of the curriculum including language, mathematics, fine motor skills, social awareness, science and creative expression.  Information is presented in a dynamic and interactive manner using up-to-date teaching methodologies and modern resources. Each classroom has an interactive whiteboard and the children are encouraged to be active participants in their learning process.
 
Our primary linguistic objective is to prepare children for success within the context of our trilingual language project. During their 3 years in the Infant Section we aim to get the children as fluent as possible in the English Language whilst continuing to develop their native language skills.   With this objective in mind, the children are immersed in English for 80% of their time at school
 

In Nursery and Kinder our focus is to develop good oral, verbal and comprehension skills in both English and Spanish. This ensures that the following year in Prep the children have the framework necessary to read and write in both languages. The children in the Infant Section also have daily Spanish language sessions and participate in weekly sessions of gym, music and ICT with specialist teachers

Students in the Infant Section learn through experiences and activities designed to build self-esteem and Independence
