Your child's learning journey starts with an excellent preschool at GIIS. GIIS preschool offers the choice of International Early Years, a play-based learning framework by IB OR Global Montessori Plus (GMP), a proprietary programme by GIIS that focuses on child’s physical, cognitive and social-emotional development in a fun-loving environment.
Both programmes follow global standards, ensuring your child’s first school experience is smooth, and filled with meaningful learning.
The IB Early Years Programme provides an inquiry-based, transdisciplinary framework that fosters conceptual understanding for children. This student-centred approach reflects leading educational research and insights from IB World Schools.
GMP is a proprietary preschool programme that combines the renowned Montessori method with best practices from modern preschool education. Supported by our Early Years teachers, the programme encourages independence and critical thinking in children.
Our kindergarten educators are highly experienced in early childhood education and possess specialised skills required to teach children between 2.5 to 5 years. Creative activities that engage different sensorial areas, make learning fun for our young students. Your child will be encouraged to explore their curiosity in a safe environment and develop their sense of self, power of expression, cognitive and motor skills.
The kindergarten at GIIS offers a conducive physical environment where children thrive and explore freely, make connections with the real world and discover new things. Dedicated play-based learning facilities like a sand pit, water play area, indoor and outdoor play areas, toy library, materials for role-based play and Montessori tools can hone your child’s creativity and allow them to gain meaningful learning experiences.
Learning a new language from an early age has many recorded benefits. We offer your child a choice of four second languages to pick from: Hindi, Tamil, French or Mandarin. Apart from fluency in listening, speaking, reading and writing English, your child will learn a second language and become bilingual at a young age. An added benefit of learning a new language is the culture that it exposes your child to.
GIIS offers an extended kindergarten programme for early learners that has been thoughtfully designed to incorporate language and mathematics lessons, music and movement along with practical life lessons during the morning session. In the afternoon, a daily story-telling or manipulatives session gets children creatively engaged. Specialist lessons in Dance, Speech and Drama, Art, Physical Education and Design thinking. Maker space activities are planned every afternoon on a rotational basis each day of the week.
