OUR EARLY YEARS PROGRAMME

From ages 3 to 5, our students embark on a journey of exploration and growth. Our international preschool in Budapest follows the British Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum to nurture the social, emotional and intellectual development of our learners.

We focus on seven key areas of learning, from communication and language to expressive arts and design. Through a play-based approach, we encourage natural enquiry and creativity while fostering healthy, happy learners. Our outdoor experiences further enhance our students’ development, making each day an exciting adventure in learning.

In our family-like environment, we closely support each learner’s growth and wellbeing. We prioritise open communication, sharing regular updates about your child’s progress through personalised online profiles, parent meetings and “Stay and Play” events.
