Early Years · Ages 2+ to 5
Where little learners begin big journeys.
Building Strong Foundations
Learning through discovery and joy
Our programme follows a child-centred, Preschool / AMI-inspired learning approach, incorporating lessons from the internationally recognised Pearson Edexcel Early Years Curriculum to support the development of the whole child — intellectually, socially, emotionally, physically and creatively.
Our Learning Approach
Three philosophies, one nurturing classroom
Encourages children to actively engage with their environment while developing foundational academic and life skills in a happy, supportive and stimulating setting. The Preschool system recognizes that children learn naturally through curiosity, imagination, and hands-on experiences.
The AMI-inspired classroom method is based on educational principles that encourage independence, self-directed learning, concentration and purposeful activity. The learning environment is structured and designed to help children build focus, coordination, confidence and problem-solving skills naturally.
Guided by the globally recognised Pearson Edexcel Early Years Curriculum, our programme ensures children receive a structured, internationally benchmarked educational experience. Focusing on three key areas — English Language, Early Mathematics and The World Around Us — this approach nurtures the whole child across intellectual, social, emotional, physical and creative dimensions.
Pearson Edexcel Early Years Curriculum
Three areas that nurture the whole child
01
Building communication and confidence.
Include storytelling and picture readings, songs and rhymes, speaking and listening activities, vocabulary development, phonics readiness and early writing experiences. The learnings help children become confident communicators while developing a love for language and reading.
02
Exploring Numbers Through Play and Discovery.
Introduced to foundational mathematical concepts and includes number recognition, counting and sequencing, shapes and patterns, sorting and matching, measurements and comparisons and problem-solving activities. Learning mathematics through play helps children develop logical thinking and confidence with numbers from an early age.
03
Discovering and Understanding the Environment.
“The World Around Us” encourages curiosity and exploration while helping children understand themselves, their surroundings, nature and the wider community. Includes nature exploration, sensory activities, creative projects, cultural awareness, science discovery experiences and environmental understanding. This subject promotes observation, creativity, social awareness and appreciation for the world around them.
Creativity & Play
Where curiosity comes to life

Message from the Directress
“
The early years are the most important stage in a child’s educational journey, laying the foundation for lifelong learning, confidence and character development.
Our Preschool and Early Years environment encourages children to learn naturally through exploration, hands-on activities, guided discovery and meaningful interaction. We strive to create a warm, safe and stimulating atmosphere where every child feels valued, happy, secure and excited to learn while beginning their journey of creativity, curiosity and self-discovery.
Our child-centered and AMI-inspired learning approach, combined with lessons from the internationally recognized Pearson Edexcel Early Years Curriculum in the subject areas of English Language, Mathematics and The World Around Us, ensures that children receive a balanced and enriching educational experience. Through engaging and age-appropriate learning opportunities, we focus on developing confidence, independence, creativity, communication skills and positive social interaction while supporting the emotional wellbeing of every child.
We also place great importance on the holistic development of children through activities that strengthen sensorial learning, whole-body coordination and physical development. Fine and gross motor skills are carefully nurtured through movement-based activities, practical life exercises, creative play, music, art, outdoor experiences and sensory exploration that help children develop concentration, coordination, balance and independence.
At Guiding Steps College, Preschool Section, our goal is not only to prepare children for future academic success, but also to inspire joyful learning experiences that help them grow into confident, compassionate and resilient individuals who are eager to explore the world around them.
We look forward to guiding and supporting your child through these precious early years of learning and growth.

Parent Voices
What our Early Years families say
Both my children are enrolled at Guiding Steps, and as a family relocating from abroad, settling them into a new country while ensuring they receive a quality education was extremely important to us. Ms. Mohara has truly been an angel to my children throughout this journey. The curriculum adopted by the school provides my children with global learning opportunities while encouraging exploration, creativity, and broad exposure. From day one until now, I have witnessed the dedication and contribution of the entire school community — the staff, teachers, and management — in helping my children not only achieve academically but also develop discipline, good manners, and strong values. I truly appreciate how the school keeps parents informed about the children’s progress through parent-teacher meetings and regular communication. As a parent who has enrolled children at Guiding Steps, I would highly recommend this school to any new parent. It is a place where every child receives individual attention, genuine care, and the guidance of qualified teachers who support them in achieving their academic goals and personal growth.
Choosing this school for Oleena has been one of the best decisions for our family. We have seen wonderful progress in her confidence, communication, independence, and love for learning. The caring teachers, disciplined environment, and continuous support given to both children and parents are truly commendable. Oleena happily looks forward to school every day, and we would highly recommend the school to any parent seeking quality early education.
When I was looking for a nursery for my child, a friend recommended Guiding Steps College to me. Even after many years, she still remembers the discipline and values her daughter gained from the school. My three-year-old child has been attending for four months and already loves going to school. I have seen improvements in confidence, communication, and independence. The love, care, protection, and support shown by the teachers and staff are truly exceptional.
