A unique bilingual phonics programme

Throughout their time in pre-Nursery, Nursery, and Reception, your child will work towards the seven EYFS areas of learning and development in both Vietnamese and English. Our pioneering bilingual phonics programme will nurture their linguistic skills so that they're quickly able to switch between the two languages.

We see every child’s learning journey as an individual one, and adapt our teaching approach to their personal preferences, strengths, and areas for growth.

Your child's teacher will plan engaging and inspiring experiences based around their interests, needs, and emerging talents. This will ensure they meet their EYFS milestone goals, are engaged in learning, and have fun.

A supportive partnership with our parents

We understand that you are your child's first educator - and the most important person in their life! Our goal is to build a strong relationship with you, based on regular communication, that will truly enhance your child's learning experience. There are a number of ways we do this, including through individual learning portfolios, weekly publications, and parent get-togethers.

TRANSITIONING TO EARLY EDUCATION

Our early childhood education gives our young learners the time and support to confidently transition into full-time education. Your child's teacher will get to know them, and help them settle into life at our school.

We help our students to make friends, build strong relationships with our staff, and familiarise themselves with our routines and structures, all at their own pace. Our Foundation 1 children usually take a little longer to settle in than our Foundation 3 children, but we'll work with you to decide on the most appropriate schedule for your child.
