Early Childhood
The first steps into an exciting journey
For many children this is their first schooling experience, and one of the utmost importance.
CAISL’s Early Childhood program includes children from the age of three through five and provides the students with a learning environment that is social in nature, secure, and with a stimulating learning climate for all the students.
a learning environment that is social in nature, secure, and with a stimulating learning climate for all the students.
Curriculum and instruction are designed to develop self-esteem, a sense of competence and positive feelings toward learning, which students can carry on onto the rest of their schooling years.
CAISL’s preschool is divided into one Early Childhood 3 class (for three-year-olds), one Early Childhood 4 class (for four-year-olds), and two Kindergarten classes (for five-year-olds). Each class has a maximum of 20 students and is led by two homeroom teachers.
During the school day, teachers speak English and, at designated times Portuguese, introducing the children to both languages through storytelling, games, and other activities aimed at the children’s interests. Besides homeroom teachers, our students have specialist lessons in music, art and physical education.
Classrooms are spacious and equipped with their own bathroom, work and play areas. Students also have access to an age appropriate playground, allowing for independent play and socialization time.
Every school day is a great one in preschool!
