In the Preprimary years the curriculum focuses on a learner-centred approach, where every learner's learning journey is unique and catered to their individual needs. The activities are designed to promote exploration, experiential learning, and inquiry-based learning. We focus on their cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development. Our approach includes experiential learning, play-based learning and project-based learning which makes it engaging and fun for the learners.

The EduCreative learning environment is well-equipped and designed to support and activate different developmental stages of the learners in preprimary years. The wide range of learning zones such as Discovery zone, Creativity zone, Construction zone cater to the JBCN belief that every learner is unique and different and have their own style of learning traits. These zones promote creative thinking, construct meaning and provide experiential learning to understand the purpose taught to them. Learners are taught to share, communicate, and collaborate with their peers.
The Discovery zone focuses on enhancing the learner's sensory skills and developing their scientific curiosity. The Creativity zone promotes imagination and self-expression through art and language activities. The Construction zone helps learners develop various motor skills and problem-solving abilities through building blocks, estimations, and measurement activities. They are also Introduced to the world of technology through educational games on iPad and Pre- coding activities.

At JBCN, we believe that children have individual abilities and are unique in their own way. Through our enrichment and mentoring programmes we aim to ensure that we are considering each child’s ability and encouraging them to excel in their natural abilities at the same time assisting children who may need that little bit of extra time.
Each school runs these programmes as per the individual requirements but it is our endeavor that when children come to us we are able to give them the best opportunities to grow and transform into individuals who will take their place in a global society.
