The first day of school is a moment that marks the beginning of a story filled with discoveries, curiosity, and growth. At GCB, we know that the early years of learning are the foundation of all future development. That is why we are proud to announce the certification of the Cambridge Early Years programme, an innovative and flexible educational proposal that ensures our children have the best possible start to their academic and personal journey.

As a school that already implements Cambridge International Education programmes, the incorporation of Cambridge Early Years reaffirms our commitment to a modern, relevant, international education centred on children’s wellbeing. It is not only about teaching, but about inspiring a love of learning, respecting each child’s pace, and providing meaningful experiences that prepare them for life.

This programme is designed for children aged 3 to 6 and is rooted in play as a tool for learning. Its holistic approach supports cognitive, social, emotional, physical, and language development, enabling children to actively and confidently explore the world.

What makes Cambridge Early Years special?

  • A play-based approach: Children explore, experiment, and construct their learning in a natural and enjoyable way.

  • A balanced curriculum: Areas such as communication, creativity, mathematics, physical development, and understanding the world are addressed in an integrated manner.

  • Bilingualism from the start: Cambridge Early Years supports learning in multilingual contexts, ensuring a natural and progressive English environment.

  • Assessment through observation: Every child is unique, and their progress is measured through continuous monitoring, ensuring they receive the right support at every stage.

One of the programme’s greatest strengths is its continuity. Cambridge Early Years is the first stage in the Cambridge International Education pathway, which means that children who begin with us transition seamlessly into Cambridge Primary and then to higher Cambridge levels, always within the same globally recognised framework of educational quality.

At GCB, educating is not only about imparting knowledge, but about nurturing happy, confident children who are prepared for the world. With Cambridge Early Years, our young learners not only acquire knowledge but also discover, experiment, and grow with self-confidence.

If you are looking for the best possible start for your child, this is the opportunity to join an educational community that believes in the power of inspiring learning.
