At ISA Preschool, we recognise play is the work of children. The two go hand in hand as shown when we watch our children’s imaginations burst into life when they are absorbed in play.

Play is a very powerful key that unlocks a love of learning for children from a very young age.

At ISA’s welcoming Preschool, children’s natural curiosity and imagination are nurtured in a caring, supportive, and stimulating environment to encourage creativity and exploration.

Preschool is considered the starting point for a child’s education, and at ISA we understand that it’s natural to question the benefits it will bring. To help you decide whether ISA Preschool is the right fit for your child, we’ve compiled a helpful summary of the benefits.

1 – We understand learning happens best when it’s done through play

ISA’s state-of-the-art Preschool encourages boundless creativity, exploration, and curiosity.

We recognise play as one of the main ways in which children learn and develop while helping to build self-confidence by giving a child a sense of their own abilities.

Our flexible and fun early learning environment contributes to developing an awareness of being connected with others and the world.

Our Preschoolers finish each day happy and excited to share their experiences!

2 – Your child will gain a head start in social and emotional skills

The development of social and emotional skills is one of the main reasons why parents send their child to preschool. Preschool gives your child their first real experience of social interaction in an educational setting.

In their first five years, a child’s brain develops more than at any other time in life. And early brain development has a lasting impact on a child’s ability to learn and succeed in school and their adult lives.

Teamwork, building friendships, starting conversations, and listening to directions, as well as regulating emotions and understanding the emotions of others, are all important life skills of which the foundations are embedded during the crucial preschool years

3 – An international preschool offers children a broader outlook

At ISA, we take pride in celebrating our diversity, believing that each child is unique, valued, and worthy of respect.

With a student population of around 500, we promote a sense of belonging for every child with wellbeing sitting at the very heart of our approach to teaching and learning.

Our young children become multi-cultural, self-aware, and open-minded - all crucial skills and aptitudes for the future.

4 – Our experienced, caring, and nurturing teaching staff

ISA’s team of experienced teachers know that by engaging children through methods like humour, storytelling and group activities, their brains will adapt to produce powerful results.

Our mission statement encapsulates our vision for a ‘safe and caring learning environment’, not just physical safety, but increasingly during this time of uncertainty, emotional security too.

5 – Young children develop a lifelong love of learning

As scientific research has shown, our children’s education in their early years cements their passion for learning and fundamentally shapes their lives. For young children, playing and learning come naturally. They are curious about the world around them and they ask questions to connect new experiences to existing knowledge.

Visiting our impressive 21st century campus is the best way to experience our broader perspective to learning and a fantastic opportunity to explore what ISA and has to offer your child.
