Early Years Education is concerned with
a period of life that stretches from two-and-a-half
to five-and-a-half years of age. During these first
years of life, children experience rapid growth and
important brain development, and reach decisions about
their own worth and abilities.
At BSS, Early Years Education is highly specialized
field. Teachers are trained to implement the 'The BSS
Early Years Curriculum'. This curriculum aims to stimulate
children, both mentally and physically, thereby equipping
and enabling each child to enter the social world beyond
the family as well as encounter and deal with the challenges
set by the world. |
