Early years is located in the beautiful Walton Foreign Language School campus, providing children-focused curriculum and high-quality early childhood education. The EY has a professional team of Chinese and foreign teachers to explore, introduce advanced IB PYP framework, integrate local curriculum and provide happy education for children. In January 2020, our EY has successfully passed the authorization of IBO in PYP program, becoming the only kindergarten with IB PYP qualification in Taicang. We create a variety of club activities for children to help them develop their own interests. We listen to the children's voice, respect the children's right of choice and finally realize the children's right of ownership so as to really mobilize the internal driving force of children's learning from inside to outside. That is to say, interest is the best teacher for children laying a good foundation for children's lifelong learning and development.
