Early Years (EYFS)
Ages 2 to 5 — a gentle, structured start to school built on the British EYFS framework.
Early Years (EYFS)
At BCIS, the Early Years is where childhood is given room to breathe. We follow the British EYFS framework in full — the same statutory framework used in schools across England — delivered through purposeful play rather than worksheets and desks. Small classes mean every child is known by name, not just by year group. It is early education built the British way: gentle, structured and unhurried, so curiosity has time to become confidence.
Your child will develop across seven key areas
Communication and Language
Building confidence in speaking and understanding
Physical Development
Coordination, movement, and fine motor skills
Personal, Social and Emotional Development
Confidence, independence, and friendships
Literacy
Early reading and writing through stories and play
Mathematics
Numbers, shapes, and early problem-solving
Understanding the World
Exploring nature, culture, and technology
Expressive Arts
Creativity through art, music, and role play
What this means for your child
A joyful, confident start to school life
Real fluency and confidence in spoken English
A genuine love of learning that lasts
Why families choose BCIS for Early Years
Choosing BCIS in Early Years means choosing more than a single year — it is the start of one pathway that continues through Primary, into Cambridge IGCSE, and on into A Level, without a change of school as your child grows.
Many of the parents who join us in Early Years are new to Chiang Mai themselves. Starting school somewhere new is easier when the school itself feels like a community, not an institution to be navigated.
Your child's path beyond Early Years
Children joining BCIS in Early Years continue on the same campus through the Primary years, into Cambridge IGCSE, and on into A Level. Sixth Form facilities are already built and ready on our Chiang Mai campus as each year group grows into them, so families don't need to plan for a change of school as their child gets older.
