Preschool/Kindergarten

Programme/Teaching Methods

In Early Years, teaching at POWIIS Tanjung Bungah is child-centred and play-based, grounded in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework. Learning is carefully planned through purposeful play, exploration, and hands-on experiences that nurture curiosity, independence, and early academic skills. Teachers observe, guide, and extend each child’s learning to ensure strong foundations in communication, literacy, numeracy, and social development within a warm, nurturing environment.

The English Immersion Programme (EIP) at POWIIS Tanjung Bungah is a short-term, focused programme designed to build a strong foundation in English as well as to support children in their transition to international school life. This programme focuses on both linguistic development and socio-cultural adaptation, preparing students to thrive in an English-medium environment.
