    IB PYP accredited

    What is the IB Primary Years Programme

    The IB PYP is an engaging, child-centred curriculum for children ages 3-6 years that empowers children to become independent lifelong learners. The transdisciplinary framework allows children to learn various topics across subject areas, rather than solely memorising facts or topics in isolation. As children expand their skills and knowledge, they can apply them in real-world contexts.

    The IB PYP at Redwood Center of Excellence supports the whole child, nurturing their academic, social and emotional development. This comprehensive framework focuses on international-mindedness and universal values along with key characteristics of dynamic citizens and leaders.

    The IB PYP consists of 5 crucial elements that children need for lifelong learning and success in 21st century society: Skills, Knowledge, Concepts, Attitudes & Actions.

    The Future Of Learning Facilities

    Imagine a place where traditional concept of childhood education and care are being redefined and transformed. At the Center of Excellence, your child will feel at home.
    Our learning spaces

    Our children get ahead because our learning spaces are a fun and dynamic environment where they can play independently or with friends.

    Sensory Room

    Our children can enjoy our beautifully designed sensory room every day. Here, they will find a wide range of stimuli with different lights, colours, and sounds that will engage their senses, fostering their rapid development.

    Play areas

    Your child will create a strong connection with nature in our outdoor spaces. With eco-friendly and sustainable settings and even a botanic garden, our children are encouraged to develop creative interactions with their environment.

    Perfoming arts

    Art is one of the ways children express themselves. Through open-ended art activities, such as drama, dance, and music, we encourage children to explore their creative side and find inner joy.

    Gym & sports

    A colorful and fun gym is essential for the well-being of your child. Our sport-based activities are the best way to stimulate natural gross motor development.

    Music Room

    Our hand-picked educators are experts in engaging the ears, the eyes, the bodies, and the souls of children to actively involve them in the musical experience.

    Art Room

    In our fully equipped Reggio-inspired Atelier, our children find a wide range of materials where they can become skilled in communicating their understandings, emotions, and discoveries of the world around them.

    Library

    Our library creates endless opportunities for reading, role play, and discovery. Through positive and natural learning experiences, our children master early literacy and math skills with joy.

    Media Centre

    Children are often over-stimulated by fast-paced media. We encourage children to engage with media in a more balanced way, as a supplement to physical learning.

    A Specialised Approach To Every Stage Of Development

    Our age-specific approach ensures every child receives optimal guidance at each stage of development. We help children learn and grow into their full potential while laying the foundations for future success.
    First steps into a Bigger World

    “A baby's brain doubles in size in its first year” Harvard, 2022. The stimulus it receives is critically important in the first 12 months of life. We encourage your child to feel confident to explore, providing them the nurturing care that forms the foundations of early learning.

    • Develop gross and fine motor skills
    • Able to accommodate any meal requirements
    • Natural play materials & a calm environment
    • Daily updates on your child’s progress
    Growing in confidence

    “A child’s brain grows to 80% of the size of an adults by age 3” Harvard, 2022. These early years are critical, ensuring they soak up new stimulus.

    There is a vital time when toddlers become very interested in their environment. This is when they establish whether the outside world is ‘safe’ or not.

    At the Center of Excellence, toddlers learn to explore in an environment where everything is at their scale and safe for them to touch. This helps your child grow in independence and confidence.

    • Learn to crawl, stand and walk
    • Interact with other toddlers in a safe & fun environment
    • Develop verbal skills: native English, French & classical Arabic
    • Modelling of responsibility & respect
    Interaction With The Real World

    Young children naturally reach out for interaction through babbling, facial expressions, and gestures, and adults respond with the same kind of vocalizing and gesturing back at them. This back-and-forth process is fundamental to the wiring of the brain, especially in the earliest years." Harvard, 2022

    Children at this age are eager to engage in real-life situations, routines, and rituals. Through positive interactions with our early learning practitioners, we help our children understand the “what,” “why” and “how” of the world around them. As a result, their sensory development develops much faster.

    • Show first signs of emotional intelligence & empathy
    • Able to use basic logic & problem-solving skills
    • Hands-on activities to build sensory development
    • Cultivate self-esteem
    Exploration & discovery

    “By age 3, your child’s brain has developed over 100 Trillion new neurons” (Harvard, 2022). This is the key period for growth, ensuring their attention and interest are developed in these critical years.

    At this age, our children begin to learn writing & counting using concrete forms. This leads to deep integration of this knowledge and a solid base to grow from.

    • First steps into reading & writing
    • Support in creating a positive self-image
    • Learn courtesy and empathy through modelling
    • Child-led learning for maximum growth
    Resilience & Getting ready for school

    “This is the age where your child’s brain fine tunes itself” (Harvard, 2022). Primary senses like touch, vision & motor skills are nearly fully developed. This is where we seed children with a lifelong love of knowledge and confidence in their ability to learn.

    Our approach for this age includes reading, writing, creative play, and cooperation. Children are encouraged to learn at their own pace, which builds their independence & resilience.

    • Learn emotional intelligence & life skills
    • Tools for cooperation & problem solving
    • Development of math, reading & writing
    • Multi-lingual learning from fluent native speakers
    Lay the foundations for academic success

    “Positive association with learning is the key focus for these final preparatory years before primary school” (Harvard, 2022). This is where we develop their love of learning, setting them up for success in the school system.

    We offer a KHDA approved advanced Montessori programme. Our students are frequently enrolled in the top schools in UAE & abroad, since they are already reading & doing foundational maths as they’re ready to enter school.

    • Integrated literacy & foundational maths
    • Learn a growth mindset through Montessori methods
    • Gain good learning habits & a postive self image
    • Cooperation & leadership modelled in mixed-age classes
