Our youngest students begin their learning journey with the Early Years program and Learning.First™, exploring different learning experiences through small-group collaborative activities that help them apply knowledge to real-world situations.
Learning letters and numbers
Children develop foundational English literacy skills as they explore the alphabet, letter sounds, and phonics. Activities include identifying letters in their environment, matching spoken words to written words, distinguishing between letters and numbers, and using new vocabulary in context.
Through the learning platform, students practice initial sounds and rhymes in stories, progressing from simple letter recognition to an early understanding of how words are read.
Developing logical thinking
Math learning is hands-on and integrated into daily routines, with a focus on number recognition, value, and formation from 0 to 10. Children explore concepts such as comparing quantities, measuring length, height, and size, sorting, sequencing, spatial awareness, and creating patterns with age-appropriate materials.
Activities include sorting by attributes, creating and describing shapes, and developing an understanding of basic mathematical concepts.
Exploring through experimentation
Children explore the world around them through inquiry-based activities. They investigate colors, the human body, the senses, plants, animals, weather, and the seasons.
Experiments include mixing colors, observing changes in weather, and exploring materials to begin understanding the states of matter.
Understanding the real world
Children develop self-awareness and deepen their understanding of family and community, building a strong sense of identity and belonging. Topics include personal growth, emotions, cultural traditions, community helpers, rules, and responsibilities.
Students also learn about holidays from around the world and begin to distinguish between weather and climate. Through stories and meaningful projects, they cultivate social awareness, empathy, and an understanding of their place in the world.
Forming little artists
Creativity comes to life through artistic activities that encourage self-expression as children experiment with a variety of materials and techniques. High-impact projects include handprints, keepsakes, color mixing, seasonal crafts, cultural celebrations, shape comparison, and themed activities for holidays and special events.
Through drawing, painting, and crafts, children develop fine motor skills, visuospatial awareness, and an appreciation for artistic diversity, while connecting art with personal and cultural identity.
Exercising the body through movement
Children strengthen gross motor skills through a wide variety of playful activities on the court, the playground, and in outdoor spaces. Obstacle courses, dance, and creative movement activities support coordination, balance, confidence, and physical development.
Outdoor play gives students the space to move, explore, and build active, healthy habits that support lifelong wellbeing.

Life competencies
Gain essential life skills to thrive inside and outside the classroom.
Develop strong language skills in a trilingual environment that broadens worldview from an early age.
At this stage, learning takes shape through playful experiences and project-based methodologies that inspire exploration and discovery of the natural and cultural world.
Students develop cognitive, motor, and communication skills through hands-on activities connected to real-life experiences. Spaces such as the corner room - featuring construction, home, medicine, and spa areas - and the art corner nurture creativity, thinking, and self-expression.
Guided by teachers throughout each process, children learn actively, enjoyably, and build a strong foundation for their academic future through the Early Years program.
From the earliest years, students strengthen essential life skills through the ISP Life Competencies framework.In a safe and stimulating environment, they learn to build positive relationships, express their emotions, and develop a strong sense of identity. Through play, collaboration, and artistic, physical, and social experiences, children strengthen skills such as communication, teamwork, and independence. This well-rounded approach helps them grow as confident, empathetic individuals who are prepared to engage with the world around them.
Language learning is an essential part of development at this stage. In a trilingual environment with Spanish, English, and French, students acquire language naturally through daily routines, games, interactive digital platforms, and meaningful activities.
This approach strengthens verbal and non-verbal communication, expands vocabulary, and builds children’s confidence in expressing themselves. From the very beginning, they develop open-mindedness and a connection with different cultures, laying the foundation for strong language skills in a globalized world.
The Preschool uniform is comfortable and functional, designed to support movement and play. It includes practical, lightweight items - such as a polo shirt, shorts, a tracksuit, and a sweatshirt - so children can move comfortably and take part in every activity throughout the day.
