Mission Statement
"The British International Kindergarten of Ningbo seeks to prepare its students for their role in an increasingly challenging, cosmopolitan, and rapidly changing world."
The school offers a stimulating and supportive setting, defined by its sound balance of academic excellence and opportunities for personal development. This is achieved through our highly proficient delivery of the Early Years English National Curriculum.
We foster a learning environment in which respect for the individual, as well as diverse cultural backgrounds and belief systems, are of equal importance. In addition to this social awareness, we aim to engender in our students a broad understanding of global issues;ultimately, both will be vital in establishing a fairer and more peaceful world.
Our Philosophy of Care and Education
We believe success in the early years has a positive impact on a child’s subsequent development, and therefore we endeavour to provide a programme and environment that nurtures each child’s potential and promotes their growing competence. This is achieved by developing programmes that respond to the interests and individual developmental levels of the children through a play based approach where experiences afford both challenge and success. Activities will allow each child to find a productive role and will promote the children’s individual social, emotional, physical, cognitive, creative and language development.
One of our key objectives is to foster a child’s self esteem and love of learning. This is possible when the learning environment is psychologically safe. We therefore place great emphasis on positive interactions between staff and children and strive to create a warm and welcoming environment for you and your child.We look forward to making this year a special one for you and your child.
