International Kindergarten (3-6+)
We take great pride in announcing the Pingu’s English International Kindergarten program as the latest addition to our curriculum Teaching range in 2017, written in collaboration with Kingston University London.
Kingston University has been ranked the second-highest rated young university in the United Kingdom.
While sector-leading publication the Times Higher Education (THE) also rated Kingston University in the top 50 universities worldwide of a similar age.
The first of its kind
The first in the world to combine a globally recognized TV character and branded and engaging day-by-day lesson plans.
Program Overview
We have combined best practices of classical approaches like Montessori and Reggio Emilia with the newest research and trends into early years development with Kingston University London, specialized in UK for Early Years Education.
The demand for high quality education is growing globally and more parents achieve the economic means to give their children a head start in life.
Pingu’s English International Kindergarten, consistent with the Early Years Foundation Stage framework (EYSF), offers:
- 6 learning hours of activities per day, which can be flexed with snack, lunch and rest times to meet the needs of any country.
- 5 learning days with a week.
- 3 weeks per topic thread.
- 3 years of teaching and student content.
The program offers 36 weeks of teaching per year in total x 3 Years.
Pingu’s English International Kindergarten is designed to be a full-time, immersive childcare and education experience for children aged between 3 and 6 years.
The core aims are to prepare children to start formal schooling and to develop early bilingualism in English; essential skills for success in education and life.
They will learn subjects like Maths, Art, Literacy, Writing, Storytelling, Role Play, STEM, Confidence and social Skills, in a full English environment from a UK International Curriculum.
Included in the engaging learning the English Language program and Pingu’s English Logical Phonics to create the unique International Kindergarten curriculum. This exclusive blend of pedagogical elements ensures that the International Kindergarten curriculum is truly industry-leading, engaging for children, and delivers tangible results.
International Curriculum
Pingu’s English and Kingston University London identified 6 core curricula “strands” through which children will engage with their learning in a full English speaking environment. These curriculum skills are:
- Communication, Language, Literacy, Reading, Writing and Spelling
- Physical Development
- Personal, Social, Emotional, Health and Well Being, and Cultural Diversity
- Numeracy, Shape, Space, and Measurement
- The World and Us
- Expressive and Creative Arts
Pingu’s English also created 12 topic “threads” which provide the basis for the content and activities explored, alongside the English vocabulary taught like: Custom, Family and friends, Belongings, Food, Home life, Number, Actions, Reactions and Consequences, Colors and shapes and many others.
The International Kindergarten is designed to be primarily delivered through the medium of the English language, as a key goal of the program is to develop early bilingualism.
However, we appreciate that children in this age-group will still be developing communication skills in their mother-tongue, so it is natural and expected that some non-English support will be provided by our Kindergarten qualified teachers.
There is also flexibility within the International Kindergarten schedule for all three years to add in any market-specific requirements required, such as local language instruction or religious education.
Student Material
Alongside comprehensive and engaging guidance for teachers to deliver inspiring lessons, the International Kindergarten’s other essential element is premium-quality learning resources for every child to use in class and at home.
