IB Early Years Programme (Nursery)
Learning in the IB Early Years Programme is guided by experienced educators who create meaningful experiences through exploration, storytelling, creative play, music, movement, and sensory activities. The curriculum encourages independence, confidence, and international-mindedness while respecting each child’s individual pace of development. Parents are supported through regular communication, ensuring a strong partnership between home and school.
Driven by an amalgamation of leading educational curricula, The NEST School offers a distinctive Nursery Programme, personalised to the learning needs of every learner. Concepts fundamental to everyday life are unfolded through play and inquiry by incorporating the best of Reggio Emilia, Montessori and Waldorf methods while keeping the IB PYP curriculum as the basis of instructional delivery.

Real World Applications
A very strong fundamental knowledge is built organically through a consciously curated curriculum aimed at enriching the life of every learner.
Identifying Talents
Creators start early. Learning engagement and challenges are scaffolded in the early years to identify the individual strengths of every learner. We build on the strengths and work to refine and master their talents.
Community Outreach
Everyday skills and relevance to the concepts are further strengthened by reaching out to the community and vice versa.
