British Early Year Center International Kindergarten

British Early Years Centre International Kindergarten, Bangkok (BEYC) follows the British Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum with a unique Reggio Emilia and nature-inspired play approach. One of a handful of Reggio-inspired kindergartens and nurseries in Bangkok, our stunning preschool and nursery is nestled in the in the family-friendly Ari neighborhood of Bangkok, accepting children from 2-6 years.

Popular with both Thai and expat families alike, our beautiful kindergarten in Ari provides a clean, safe and green haven for children to grow and develop independence and confidence.

As a boutique kindergarten we strive to provide the very best care, education and support for our children. Our primary focus is on attaining as close to one-to-one tuition as as possible through over-staffing, maintaining extremely small classes and working with small ability groupings. Daily and informal assessment allows our teachers and staff to know everything about all of our children. In this way we are able to challenge appropriately and support individuals' developmental needs.

Standing out from the vast array of international kindergartens and preschools in Bangkok, we follow the British Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum (EYFS) with a unique and progressive Reggio Emilia approach. We are firmly aligned with many educational philosophies such as Montessori and Finnish educational philosophies. This is indeed what attracts many parents looking for Montessori or Finnish kindergartens in Bangkok.

We promote creative freedom through open-ended play, controlled risk and natural ‘loose part’ materials. Nature plays a key role in our curriculum and environment alike. From our beautiful classrooms, to the resources we hand-make and use for play nature is central.

Independence and confidence are nurtured through ongoing daily assessments and observations. Having knowledge of individuals’ needs, allows the setting of achievable challenges and the appropriate support to be given to the children, as they move towards their next developmental goals.

Creative freedom, making choices, researching and planning, reviewing and self-reflecting, are all essential life skills which are nurtured and developed throughout our ‘projects’ approach to learning.

‘Balance’ plays an important role at BEYC and is as relevant in our menu design as it is to the planning of our curriculum and daily routines. From to the provision of indoor vs outdoor play opportunities, adult vs child initiated activities, maintaining a healthy balance is essential.

We believe in guiding our children towards a solid foundation of both literacy and maths. Aligning ourselves as closely to the ‘Reggio’ philosophy as possible, we use party-style games and activities to create excitement as well as create beautiful provocations to encourage children to practice these essential skills through self-directed play.
