Early Years at Glenrich International School Uttara

Glenrich International School Satarkul
Year levels: Playgroup, Nursery, KG1 and KG2

Glenrich School Dhaka takes pride in being the pioneer in Bangladesh to introduce the Cambridge Early Years Programme at the Pre-primary level for children between the ages of 2.5 years to 6.5. By seamlessly integrating this curriculum with a rich array of Montessori activities, our students experience optimal intellectual and developmental growth. The Cambridge Early Years is in line with international best practice and research, and in collaboration with pioneers of early education worldwide.

The programme builds on these key principles:

1. Experience
Learning should complement the social and cultural factors (like experiences of home and community) that shape a child’s learning and development.

2. Active
Children should be involved in their own learning through well-planned experiences that help them develop competence, agency, emotional attachment and self-worth.

3. Balance
Learning should encourage an appropriate balance of physical, cognitive, language and communications, and social and emotional development.

4. Play
Learning should be age appropriate, play-based and child centred. It should include both child- and adult-led activities.

5. Transition
Early years education should help children transition successfully to primary school, moving from informal, play-based learning to teaching that is more formal.

These key principles are central to Cambridge Early Years approach, and we use them in all Cambridge Early Years settings to get the most out of the programme. Glenrich International School Uttara complements the Cambridge Early Years Programme with enriched offerings in Music, Swimming, Physical Education, Library and Montessori work.

Parent Engagement

We strive to work in full partnership with parents, sharing information, progress and achievements throughout the year to best support children’s learning in school and at home via weekly reports and regular Parent Teacher Meetings. We have three formal PTMs across the school year, however we have an open-door policy and encourage parents to meet teachers frequently with prior appointment to discuss progress and next steps in learning. We encourage all our parents to participate in all the parent engagement activities of the school throughout the year.
