At the American International School of Duhok, we understand the critical importance of early childhood education in laying the foundation for a strong educational background. Our Pre-K and KG programs focus on a play-based learning and inquiry approach, recognizing that this stage is crucial for intellectual, physical, social, and emotional growth.
We believe in fostering a nurturing and stimulating environment where children are encouraged to be curious and explore new concepts through various forms of play. Our curriculum incorporates exploratory play, dramatic play, and constructive play, recognizing their optimal role in children’s development at this age. Through these play experiences, children engage their minds, organize their thoughts, and store information, utilizing all their senses.
To provide a structured framework for our curriculum, we utilize the HighScope curriculum for Pre-K and the Common Core standards as a foundation for KG. The HighScope approach emphasizes active learning, where children become actively involved in their learning experiences. It promotes independence, decision-making skills, and problem-solving abilities. By using the Common Core standards, we ensure that our curriculum aligns with the rigorous academic expectations and prepares students for their educational journey ahead.
Through our play-based learning and inquiry approach, we foster a love for learning, cultivate creativity, and develop critical thinking skills in our young learners. Our dedicated educators guide students in exploring a variety of subjects while nurturing their social and emotional well-being.
At the American International School of Duhok, we are committed to providing a well-rounded educational experience that sets the stage for lifelong learning. Our Pre-K and KG programs empower children to develop their unique potentials, build a solid educational foundation, and embark on a journey of discovery and growth.
