S107’s Early Years Centre focuses on developing the whole child. At the heart of our beliefs is an understanding and respect for young children as unique, capable, and curious learners. Using the English Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum as our starting point, students and teachers come together each day to investigate, play, build relationships, and create shared meaning about the world around them. Our dedicated centre provides indoor and outdoor learning spaces where your child will find a home away from home with plenty of room to grow.
“Children must be taught how to think, not what to think.” – Margaret Meade

Positive Relationships
Relationships are at the heart of S107’s Early Years Centre. We foster a sense of belonging for each child by being sensitive and responsive to the children’s needs, feelings and interests. Children are supported to build strong relationships with their teachers, their peers and their learning environment. At the heart of our teaching is valuing the children’s efforts and independence in order for them to become confident and life-long learners.
Enabling Environments
Children learn and develop in enabling environments in which their experiences respond to their individual needs and there is a strong partnership between school and home. Our Early Years Centre benefits from extensive indoor and outdoor provision which provides rich opportunities through play and support for children to take risks and explore. Teachers observe and listen to children, asking questions to discover their ideas and curiosities. With this understanding, teachers act as a support and a resource for children, considering how children’s thinking might be guided toward new discoveries.
Discover a world of opportunities under one roof as this truly international education creates and offers choices of curriculum suited to your child's future path.
