Early Years

At Bangkok Prep, children aged 3 to 5 enjoy the best start in their education journey through the Early Years Foundation Stage. Our teachers focus on the child as a unique individual, facilitate learning through enabling environments and learning spaces, develop positive relationships and personalise learning according to individual styles and pace of learning. 

Our curriculum

Children build essential academic foundations and life values through a play-based British Early Foundation Stage curriculum. Thematic topics and child-led learning experiences introduce them to a stimulating school life where enjoyment and exploration are the key ingredients.

A typical day in our Early Years

Every day in Early Years is packed with new discoveries and purposeful good struggles. Children get curious, connect with friends and grow in confidence as they move through their routines. Timetables may differ, but here’s a glimpse of what happens between lessons for our youngest learners.

Please note: Break times vary by age group. In KS1 and KS2, breaks are staggered (for example, KS1 typically have their break from 9.15 - 9.40), while in EYFS, children have rolling access to snacks and drinks during child-led learning rather than a set, shared break time.

Core learning pillars

Children in Early Years set the foundations for academic and personal success in a nurturing, stimulating environment through English immersion, skill-building activities and teacher-guided discussions.
