The curriculum is divided into 7 areas of learning, ensuring the children have a strong foundation for their future educational journey:

- Communication and Language Development: children develop the confidence and skills to express themselves in a rich language environment.
- Literary Development: children begin to write and read through exposure to a range of engaging materials.
- Personal, Social and Economic Development: children form positive relationships with themselves and others.
- Understanding the World: children explore, observe, and learn about the world around us, including the environment, people and places.
- Expressive Arts and Design: children experience the beauty of art, music, dance and roleplay.
- Mathematics: children develop skills in counting and using numbers, simple addition and subtraction.
Guided by the above curriculum and our ethos of Unique Child + Positive Relationships + Enabling Environments = Learning and Development, at our International Preschool in Warsaw, it is our aim that our children leave the Early Years confident, having learnt how to learn, how to share, how to play, how to socialise and most importantly, happy and looking forward to the next stage of their education.
