Welcome to CBIS.K!

 

We focus on young learners aged 4 to 7, aiming to nurture their curiosity, creativity, and character through engaging, play-based learning experiences.

 

Founded on a 'child-centered' educational philosophy, we follow the play-based learning approach from the early learning framework of British Columbia, Canada, to nurture children into global leaders. We are dedicated to supporting the holistic development of each child, respecting their individuality, believing in their potential, and fostering creative problem-solving, social, and leadership skills. Our programs are grounded in extensive research and development by child development specialists, focusing on five key areas: physical health and movement, social relationships, artistic expression, communication, and nature exploration.
