Our Approach to Early Learning
The Cambridge Early Years programme at our school emphasizes child-centred learning, which encourages children to explore, inquire, and express themselves. With a balanced curriculum that integrates play-based and structured activities, we ensure that every child is engaged, active, and motivated to learn.
