About our Early Childhood Education
We are delighted to be hosting our youngest children in our two purpose-built LEED Gold Standard early years facilities. Our beautiful campuses allow us to create unique learning environments that encourage curiosity and support individual inquiry. Our campuses boast generously sized and well-resourced classrooms, teaching kitchens, indoor gyms and gross motor play spaces and well-resourced early childhood libraries. From roof-top gardens to an ancient Chinese courtyard, our beautifully landscaped outdoor learning spaces encourage both environmental and sensory experiences.
At BCIS, we use play-based pedagogies and child-centered inquiry as the vehicle for learning. We truly believe that young children learn best when they are engaged in authentic experiences and can interact freely with the environment, their peers and teachers to construct understanding and meaning. We place an emphasis on learning concepts, skills, attitudes and knowledge, and consider these early years to be of the utmost importance in preparing the children for a life of learning.
Our children range in age from two to six years old: Toddler (two- to three-year olds), Nursery (three- to four-year olds), Prekindergarten (four- to five-year olds) and Kindergarten (five- to six-year-olds). Our early childhood programs are well-resourced with highly skilled practitioners of about 40 faculty and 40 teaching assistants across both campuses. The leadership team includes a Principal who works across both campuses and two site-based Deputy Principals and two Curriculum Coordinators. Each campus has Team Leaders as well who are empowered to move teams, projects and initiatives forward.
