Early Years

A joyful beginning for your child

At SGIS, children learn through play, inquiry, and discovery in a safe, nature-rich environment. Guided by the UK Early Years Foundation Stage and enriched by innovative practices from Singapore, our integrated curriculum combines academics, creativity and values.

We nurture confident, caring, and curious learners who are ready for primary school and ready for life.

Where play meets purpose through an integrated journey of learning, culture, and character.

Mission & Vision

Our mission is to empower students to be adaptable and grounded global changemakers.

Our vision is to create a high-achieving multicultural learning community that is deeply rooted in Asia while embracing the world.

We believe early childhood is where this mission and vision take root, in the joyful, curious and compassionate beginnings of every child’s learning journey.

  • Inquiry-based learning - nurturing curiosity through projects, exploration, and questioning.
  • Play-based learning - recognising that play is the most meaningful way for children to understand the world.
  • Nature and Place-based learning - extending classrooms into calm, green and inspiring outdoor spaces as well as connecting children with the world around them so that they have a deeper appreciation of their surroundings.
  • Community and Service Learning - involving children in age-appropriate projects to grow empathy and care for others.
Education here nurtures all aspects of a child’s being.

Children practise respect, kindness, gratitude, responsibility, and cultural sensitivity daily. From sharing toys to celebrating Thai and global traditions, values are lived out in ways that shape both character and compassion. Children also engage in kindness projects such as toy/book drives, campus clean-ups and intergenerational visits.

Our curriculum is guided by the UK Early Years Foundation Stage framework and enriched by some of Singapore’s most innovative early childhood practices, bringing together:
  • Mathematics & Science (hands-on foundations for reasoning and discovery)
  • Language & Literacy (English, Thai, Mandarin)
  • Creative & Critical Thinking
  • Visual Arts, Music & Movement
  • Social-Emotional Learning
  • Essential Life Skills
  • Cognitive Development & Higher-Order Thinking
  • Outdoor & Environmental Learning
Children experience learning as a connected journey where subjects flow together seamlessly.

We place children’s safety, well-being and joy at the heart of everything we do.

  • Small class sizes allow teachers to know each child deeply.
  • Outdoor play is carefully planned with Bangkok’s climate and air quality in mind.
  • Nutritious meals and mindful routines give children the energy to thrive.

Passionate teachers act as passionate facilitators, parents are valued partners, and children flourish in a safe, happy environment. Together, we create a true community of learning and care.

Programme Overview

Daily Rhythm

A day at SGIS Nursery follows a gentle, predictable rhythm - moving between focused learning, free play, shared meals, and quiet reflection.

Each phase is intentional: built to nurture curiosity, build foundations, and let children grow into themselves at their own pace.

SGIS will give your child a joyful start to learning, rooted in values, enriched by Thai culture, and open to the world.
