At The British School Warsaw, we know that the early years of a child’s life are the most important. Early childhood education isn’t just about ABCs and numbers - it’s about building confidence, emotional resilience and a love of learning that lasts a lifetime.
From 2-6 years children experience a remarkable period of brain development. More than a million neural connections form every second and these connections shape how children think, feel and interact with the world.
A good early education supports:
Strong cognitive development
Emotional regulation and social confidence
Readiness for primary school
Long term academic and personal success
This is where lifelong learning begins.
Children learn best when they’re active and curious. That’s why play is at the heart of early education at TBS Warsaw. Whether they’re building with blocks, exploring stories or engaging in imaginative role play, our students are learning through discovery.
Play builds:
Our early years curriculum is underpinned by the best of educational theory:
Montessori: Encourages independence through self guided exploration.
Reggio Emilia: Emphasises creativity, collaboration and expression.
Froebel’s Play Theory: Values structured play as a tool for learning.
Vygotsky: Highlights learning through social interaction and guidance.
What makes us different is how we bring these ideas to life using real tools and modern technology - from iPads and 3D printers to partnerships with MIT and Juilliard.
Children need more than knowledge - they need to understand themselves and others. Our teachers help children manage emotions, express themselves and build friendships through group work and structured play.
We focus on:
Emotional intelligence
Conflict resolution
Positive friendships
These are skills children take with them long after they leave our Early Years classrooms.
Starting primary school can be exciting - and sometimes daunting. At TBS Warsaw we make the transition smooth. Our students get used to routines, classroom expectations and learning styles that set them up for success.
We work closely with parents to ensure every child feels:
Confident in a new environment
Supported academically and emotionally
Ready for the next stage of their learning journey
We believe all children deserve a strong start. That’s why our team supports families of diverse backgrounds and needs. Through relationships and learning environments every child can shine.
