Early Years Curriculum

Nakamura School provides early childhood education to children before they start primary school, ensuring they receive a strong foundation for their academic journey. The early childhood education system at Nakamura School is divided into two stages. The first stage, known as "Nursery," caters to children aged 3 to 4 years. The second stage, called "Kindergarten," welcomes children from the age of 4 up to school-going age. One of the key strengths of Nakamura School is its inclusivity, as it warmly welcomes children of all nationalities and religions. This diverse and inclusive environment fosters a deep sense of respect among the children, nurturing their appreciation for different cultures and backgrounds.
