Early Learning Centre

Active Learners & Inquirers
The Early Learning Centre is the first stage– and an integral component of the IB PYP at ISBerne. In the ELC we aim to create a safe, secure and highly motivating learning environment that is both warm and inviting.
Through a variety of learning experiences, both structured and spontaneous, children are provided with the opportunity to develop a positive attitude, to solve problems, to make decisions, to develop confidence, independence and self-esteem.
Love Of Learning
The Early Years programme aims to develop the whole child. The learning experiences provided in the ELC are designed to promote the use of language, early concepts of numbers, and fine and gross motor skills. Play features strongly in the programme. Gentle guidance in play encourages children to explore, ask questions, invent, construct and solve problems. These guided activities enhance the children’s love of learning and stimulate their natural curiosity and desire to explore.
The Early Years programme is enriched by weekly visits to the gym and library, excursions to the nearby woods, playtime in their private playground and attendance at and active participation in whole school activities and school productions.
