At AISB, our Early Childhood program includes EC3 (for 3-year-olds) and EC4 (for 4-year-olds).
We believe that every child is inherently curious and capable, bringing their unique interests and experiences as learners. Our program offers a rich environment focused on language development, self-expression, and collaboration, while nurturing children’s natural sense of wonder and fostering a strong connection with the surrounding forest and nature.

Welcome to Early Childhood at AISB
In Early Childhood at AISB
We prioritize play and inquiry, providing ample time for exploration.
Instruction is tailored to meet individual needs through both one-on-one and small-group settings. Students come together as a community for class discussions, celebrations, shared meals, and collaborative activities in our communal pod space.
Our balanced curriculum encompasses academic, physical, artistic, and social-emotional learning. Outdoor adventures, including forest walks, ignite curiosity and inspire many of the children's inquiries. For our EC3 students, nap or quiet time is offered to recharge during the day. Mindfulness practices and storytelling provide a calming pause for all Early Childhood children.
We look forward to embarking on this educational journey with your family!
