The Early Childhood Centre at ISB

Preschool – Grade 2

At ISB’s Early Childhood Centre (ECC), children aged 2.5 to 8 begin their learning journey in a safe, nurturing, and play-based environment tailored to their individual needs. With a strong focus on early literacies and inquiry skills, the ECC programme builds confidence, creativity, and a love of exploration – laying the foundation for lifelong learning.

Students grow as thoughtful, responsible individuals, learning how to navigate social situations through the Big 4 Principles – Safety, Fairness, Kindness, and Respect – and connect with nature through Forest Learning, which is integrated into the curriculum from the first steps, to encourage curiosity, play, and environmental awareness.

Kindergarten to Grade 2

As students progress into these grades, they embark on a personalised learning journey that nurtures growth in reading, writing, and mathematics. Small group instruction and support from specialist teachers ensure learning is tailored to individual needs, helping each child move forward with confidence.

Grouped by skill and interest, students receive focused teaching in literacy and maths while engaging in projects that deepen their understanding of science and social studies. In this supportive environment, they feel safe to take risks, reflect on progress, and take ownership of their learning – building the motivation, perseverance, and self-awareness to thrive academically and personally.
