UIS Foundation Stage (Ages 3-5): Building Strong Foundations
The UIS Foundation Stage, encompassing Kindergarten 1 (age 3), Kindergarten 2 (age 4), and Kindergarten 3 (age 5), provides a crucial starting point for young learners. Aligned with the Cambridge Early Years framework, this program is designed to create a strong educational foundation for children in these formative years.
A Focus on Individualized Growth
Recognizing that every child develops at their own pace, the UIS Foundation Stage emphasizes individualized learning and development. By tailoring the curriculum to meet the specific needs and interests of each child, the program creates an environment where young learners can thrive.
Key benefits of the UIS Foundation Stage include:
- Early exposure to a structured learning environment: Kindergarten 1 (age 3) introduces children to routines and social interactions.
- Development of fundamental literacy and numeracy skills: Kindergarten 2 (age 4) builds on early concepts, introducing basic reading, writing, and number skills.
- Fostering social and emotional development: Kindergarten 3 (age 5) emphasizes teamwork, cooperation, and self-regulation.
- Stimulating creativity and imagination: Throughout the Foundation Stage, children are encouraged to explore their artistic and imaginative abilities.
By providing a nurturing and stimulating learning environment, Utatu International School’s Foundation Stage empowers children to become confident, curious, and lifelong learners.
