The   Early   Childhood (EC) Department implements the Early Years Programme (EYP),advocating the International Baccalaureate’s (IB) inquiry through play.

The EC Department combines the IB Curriculum with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework that sets standards for the learning, development, and care of young children. Floppy Phonics also sets the foundations for reading and writing in early years and various other disciplines through play-based learning centres.

The Early Childhood classrooms are set up as different learning centres that promote inquiry in:

• Numeracy
• Literacy
• Sensory/Science
• Information and Communications Technology (ICT)
• Art and Craft
• Dramatic Play
• Fine Motor

During their day at AIS, students enjoy their centres interspersed with performing arts, water play, outdoor play, library and French (EC2 onwards) sessions.
