Curriculum

Our carefully curated preschool curriculum takes on an integrated approach inspired by the best components of the Reggio Emilia, Waldorf and Montessori philosophies as well as an

Inquiry-based approach to learning. Thus, our curriculum is structured to promote a global perspective, meaning we incorporate diverse viewpoints, cultures, and languages to help foster a broader understanding of the world. We also include Sanskrit and Spanish as a part of preschool curriculum, introduced from Nursery.
