BDWIS embraces the Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) system advocated by the United Nations, prioritizing a balanced approach to learning across the foundational years. Through a blend of teacher-directed instruction and child-initiated play activities, we cultivate an environment where children thrive and flourish.
Our curriculum places a strong emphasis on hands-on, experiential learning, providing ample opportunities for practical exploration and discovery. Children engage in dynamic learning experiences that foster joy, excitement, and curiosity. Teachers play a crucial role in nurturing this learning process, encouraging active participation and instilling a love for inquiry and investigation.
In our Foundational Years Program, young minds are encouraged to develop foundational skills in reading, writing, and numeracy, supported by creative and imaginative guidance from adults. The freedom and positive environment we cultivate, empower children to feel valued and happy, paving the way for their holistic development. Our foundational years’ program consists of five stages: Nursery, K1, K2, G-1 and G-2. Within these stages, children focus on three Prime Areas essential for healthy development and future learning:
1. Communication and Language: Children are supported in developing their verbal and non-verbal communication skills, fostering the ability to express themselves effectively and engage meaningfully with others.
2. Physical Development: Through various physical activities and exercises, children enhance their gross and fine motor skills, promoting strength, coordination, and spatial awareness.
3. Personal, Social, and Emotional Development: Our program emphasizes the importance of social interaction, emotional regulation, and self-awareness, laying the foundation for positive relationships and emotional well-being.
In addition to these prime areas, children also engage in the development of skills across five Specific Areas:
1. Literacy: Children explore language, literacy, and storytelling, fostering a love for reading and writing from an early age.
2. Mathematics: Through hands-on activities and manipulatives, children develop foundational numeracy skills, problem-solving abilities, and mathematical reasoning.
3. Exploring the World: Children are encouraged to investigate their surroundings, fostering curiosity, critical thinking, and an appreciation for the world around them.
4. Expressive Arts and Crafts: Through artistic expression, children unleash their creativity, imagination, and self-expression, exploring various mediums and techniques.
5. Music: Music education is integrated into our curriculum, providing opportunities for sensory exploration, expression, cognitive development, social interaction, and cultural awareness through rhythm, melody, and harmony.
At BDWIS, we are committed to providing a nurturing and stimulating environment where every child can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally, laying a strong foundation for lifelong learning and success.
