What are the Guiding principles of this curriculum? 

• Children should be encouraged to grow and learn at their own unique pace.
• International mindedness is built on independent and interdependent learning experiences, which provide a context for personal development.
• Knowledge and skills development lead to an increasing sense of understanding when children are provided with opportunities to explore and express their ideas in various ways.
• Learning occurs when children’s innate curiosity is tapped into through developmentally appropriate, teacher-scaffolded, and child-initiated experiences in a supportive setting.
• Learning should be motivating, engaging and fun, opening up a world of wonder for children where personal interests can flourish.
• Continuous evaluation and reflection that incorporate a learning connection to the home are excellent forms of ongoing assessment.
• Play is an essential aspect of all children’s learning and development.
• The earliest years of life are valuable in their own right.
