Greetings from Kepala Sekolah

We believe that play is the heart of early learning, guiding children to explore, create, and discover their unique talents. Our dedicated educators, inspired by Montessori and Reggio Emilia philosophies, nurture a child-centered environment where curiosity is celebrated and every voice is heard.

BMS ECE Program is more than just a preschool; it's a nurturing haven where your child's curiosity and creativity blossom. Our play-based curriculum empowers children to become happy, confident learners, ready to take on the world.

The International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC) was introduced in 2020 to improve our curriculum and to meet the needs of our children at such a crucial stage of development. The IEYC focuses on playful learning experiences that nurture curiosity, agency, and inquiry. It also emphasizes the importance of child-focused learning and development.
