Early Learning at GSG: A Nurturing Space for Curious Minds

It is common knowledge that children absorb their surroundings and learn a lot from the environment around them. What many do not know is that the first five years of their life are crucial, for this is when their brains develop rapidly and form connections at a faster rate than any other time in their lives. They also learn the most when they enjoy the learning process.

We understand this very well at the Global Schools Group (GSG), which is why our purpose is to provide a supportive, caring and safe learning environment which nurtures, engages and enables children to develop holistically, early in life.

The early years lay the foundation for a lifetime of learning, growth and wonder. This is the reason our Early Childhood Programme (ECP) is intentionally designed as a vibrant and caring space, where children feel safe to explore, play and discover the world around them and fall in love with learning.

Learning Through Play, Growing Through Discovery

In our classrooms, playtime is a powerful engine for learning. Through thoughtfully structured play-based exploration, children develop critical thinking skills, confidence, and a sense of wonder. Every question asked, every problem solved and every new discovery made is a building block in their cognitive and emotional development.

“Play, at the heart of early learning, forms the basis of the OWIS Early Childhood Programme. Our dedicated educators thoughtfully design learning experiences that nurture curiosity, foster international-mindedness, and inspire children to become inquirers and lifelong learners – all within a warm, caring environment where each child feels safe, valued and empowered.”

Nur Syahdiqin Ismail, IB PYP Coordinator

We create spaces where curiosity is not only welcomed—it is celebrated. When children are free to investigate, question and engage with the world on their own terms, they become active participants in their own learning. This kind of joyful discovery fosters independence, resilience and a lifelong love for learning.

A Connection that Inspires Confidence

A child’s learning environment comprises many factors. Of these, perhaps the most significant is the creation of a ‘second home’ for the children. At GSG ECP, we cultivate an environment of warmth, respect, and mutual trust. Our educators don’t just teach—they guide, mentor and empower. They do this through daily routines that build trust, collaborative group activities that foster teamwork and mutual respect along with rich experiences like storytelling, role play and open-ended enquiry that give children the space to express themselves and feel seen.

By fostering strong emotional connections and a deep sense of belonging, we help children build the self-assurance they need to explore new ideas and take bold steps forward.

A Whole-Child Approach: More Than Academics

We also understand that a child’s education extends beyond the traditional classroom. Co-curricular and extra-curricular experiences are essential to developing well-rounded individuals. From exploring music, nature and creativity to tactility, puzzle solving and movement-related activities, every experience enriches the learning journey and provides key opportunities for expression, collaboration and growth.

The Power of Partnership

We know that the journey of early childhood education does not happen in isolation, which is why we place great emphasis on building authentic partnerships with families. By working closely with parents and caregivers, we ensure that every child’s unique strengths, interests, and needs are understood and supported.

“As parents, it fills our heart with joy and gratitude to reflect on the wonderful early childhood journey of our daughter, Advika. Her foundational years have been filled with laughter, learning, growth and countless memorable moments that have shaped her into the curious, kind and confident child she is today.

From her very first steps into the classroom, she has been supported, encouraged, and inspired by dedicated educators and caring classmates. Whether through story time, creative play, exploring new ideas, or simply making friends, every experience has added a special chapter to her story.

We are deeply thankful for the nurturing environment that helped her blossom.”


Balaji Uppili and Dimpal Vijayvergia, Parents

These partnerships are more than a means of communication—they are the cornerstone of a thriving learning community. When families and educators work together, children receive a consistent, supportive environment that fosters development.

Shaping the Future, One Child at a Time

Our vision is to inspire capable, confident learners by creating personalised learning experiences that ignite curiosity, nurture a love for learning and help develop the positive attitudes needed to navigate and shape their future with enthusiasm and purpose. With an emphasis on curiosity, collaboration and compassion, our Early Childhood Programme sets the stage for children to flourish—today, tomorrow and beyond.

At the Global Schools Group, we do not just prepare children for school—we prepare them for life.
