The programme is an introduction to the language and is based on creative play, storytelling, singing (chants, rhymes), physical activity (dance moves), drama and crafts. Children learn by using all their senses.

Children also learn to recognise the English alphabet, colours, numbers and basic vocabulary from their immediate environment through creative activities.

The English language is the main language of instruction in the classroom and teaching is carried out by qualified teachers in teaching very young and young learners in specially designed classrooms, fostering a safe environment according to European foreign-language kindergarten standards.

The aims of the pre-school programmes are:

• Socialising and interacting with other children and teachers
• Encouraging social skills, responsible behaviour and respect through team play
• Cultivating the child’s emotional development through cooperation, acquiring a positive image of themselves, as well as developing mutual relations of trust and self-independence
• Reinforcing the correct attitude towards learning: Students learn to listen to instructions and focus on activities directed towards developing their attention span
• Familiarising children with the sounds of the English language through oral class interaction and nursery rhymes
• Developing basic language skills
• Learning fine motor skills and familiarisation with arithmetic
