Beacon Preschool

The Beacon Preschool follows the same core beliefs and thrusts held true across the school. It takes the best practices used in Early Childhood Education to the benefit of each child. It is a child centred, holistic programme, wherein learners take active ownership of their learning, achieved through continuous and dynamic engagement. Play and hands-on learning is at the core of this engagement, as research has shown that young children learn best through play.

It has been proven that the optimal development and learning happens during a person’s early years as the brain is wired to benefit from authentic learning experiences. Therefore “PLAY” is a key element in the Beacon Preschool . It is a tool for educators to strategise, teach, assess and plan for the young learners to stimulate their creativity, resourcefulness, minds and agency. Through play, students learn social, cognitive, psychomotor, language and critical thinking skills. It teaches them to work in groups, express themselves, handle real life problems and situations. It gives them a hands-on understanding of the people and world around them and allows them to construct meaning about them.

What is an IB Education?

“The IB continuum of international education for 3-19 year olds is unique because of its academic and personal rigour. We challenge students to excel in their studies and in their personal growth. We aim to inspire a quest for learning throughout life that is marked by enthusiasm and empathy. The IB aspires to help schools develop well-rounded students with character: students who can respond to challenges with optimism and an open-mind; students confident in their own identities; students who make ethical decisions; students who join with others in celebrating our common humanity; students who are prepared to apply what they learn in real world, complex and unpredictable situations.
