Where Learning Begins
Internationally recognised, play-based education for our youngest learners — from age 2 to 5.
Internationally
Recognised Care
SIH takes great pride in the excellence of our Early Years section. Our programme has received international acclaim for its exceptional care for children. We are honoured to be the first whole school with a nursery in Thailand to be awarded the 'Quality Counts' mark at the Platinum level by the National Day Nurseries Association (NDNA) — and only the second Early Years/Nursery section to achieve this remarkable distinction.
From the age of 2, we integrate the Oxford International Curriculum (OIC) alongside the UK National Curriculum Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). The OIC encourages inquiry-based learning, critical thinking and a global perspective, offering children a unique blend of academic and personal development.
The curriculum is a harmonious blend of the EYFS and the OIC, emphasising children's exploration and inquiry. The EYFS focuses on seven key areas of learning and development, fostering interconnected growth — igniting children's curiosity and building their capacity to learn, form relationships, and thrive.
Our holistic programme empowers children to take control of their own learning environment. By incorporating play and inquiry, we create an atmosphere that encourages self-directed exploration — enhancing academic competencies and nurturing essential social skills for a well-rounded educational journey.
Seven Areas of Learning
We have adopted the learning-through-play and inquiry method. Play teaches children essential life skills, enriches their development, and helps them make sense of the world around them.
These activities help children develop their physical, social, emotional, cognitive, creative, communication and language skills — learning to express themselves, solve problems, negotiate, take turns and make friends.
