ECD – PYP Early Years

The Early Childhood Division (ECD) caters to children aged 3 to 6 within our PYP program. We prioritize fostering nurturing relationships among students, teachers, peers, and the community in a safe and welcoming environment.

Our learning spaces are carefully designed to ignite curiosity and encourage exploration, with students having a say in their learning journey. Classroom displays reflect student progress and adapt to their inquiries over time.

Why the ECD at Dwight Seoul

Safe and inviting environment

The program places utmost importance on crafting an environment that is both safe and inviting, providing students with a secure space where they can freely explore and learn, thus nurturing a positive and supportive atmosphere for growth.

Fostering strong relationships

Students cultivate meaningful connections with a diverse array of educators, peers, and community members, fostering not only social and emotional development but also instilling a deep sense of belonging within the community fabric.

Empowering student-led learning

Championing student agency, students steer their own educational journey, fostering independence and self-assurance as they actively shape their learning experiences and inquiries.

Harnessing the power of purposeful play

Purposeful play serves as a driver for our four units of inquiry, captivating students through hands-on experience that ignite exploration, creativity, and critical thinking, all the while nurturing the acquisition of essential skills.

Promoting holistic growth

By seamlessly blending purposeful play with targeted skill development, the program ensures a comprehensive approach to student growth, addressing their socio-emotional, physical, academic, and psychological needs. This prepares them to emerge as compassionate, open-minded communicators, unafraid to take risks and make positive contributions to their community.
