A special offering in Panama, our Early Childhood program spans Preschool through Kinder at the MET (equivalent to Nursery through Year 1 in the UK) and follows the Reggio Emilia-inspired approach of centering the child in their own learning alongside international learning activities and goals from the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP), in English. Our program develops young bilingual learners’ love for learning in a nurturing environment. We encourage our students to grow into happy and confident learners, as we build the foundation for their personal success.
At the MET, our teachers know that a stimulating, caring environment is key to an enriching academic experience. In dedicated spaces, they cultivate a community built on mutual respect, recognition, and understanding. This ensures our youngest learners feel safe, encouraged to explore, and empowered to make meaningful connections.
Our Preschool and Kindergarten class sizes are small, and lessons are taught by an internationally certificated teacher and teacher’s assistant. In our close-knit environment, students benefit from individualized instruction and attention, tailored to their needs and interests. This is complemented by hands-on activities and opportunities that enhance language and social development.
Our young children learn through play, exploration, experimentation, and investigation, which they lead themselves. To support our students’ growth, our open-plan classrooms have different areas where they can learn independently and collaboratively.
