British International School Kindergarten
Small steps towards great success
1. Children learn in small groups, allowing them to socialise comfortably, develop teamwork and empathy, explore the world through play, and make their first friends.
2. We carefully monitor each child’s progress and create an environment where children learn to recognise and celebrate their achievements. To support this, we use stickers, visual progress charts, and “Star of the Week” awards.
3. We understand that adapting to a new environment takes time. That is why Russian-speaking assistants are always there to support the children throughout the day
