Program Overview

Introduction to the Preschool Program

The preschool program at Coll銶e Champittet is a unique, bilingual international program designed specifically for our youngest students. The program focuses on developing essential skills in reading, writing, counting, and social interaction through playful activities. Our experienced teachers guide the children, providing them with the best possible start to their educational journey.

Our Teaching Methods

Our international classroom teachers utilize their qualifications and experience to support, engage, and encourage each child to achieve excellence. The learning environment is designed to foster growth, curiosity, and creativity, with a focus on practical learning experiences.

Learning Through Play

We believe that children learn better when they are happy, stimulated, and engaged. Each day is filled with exciting, hands-on experiences, both inside and outside the classroom. Our teachers and pedagogical assistants provide a nurturing environment where children can develop their motor skills, use their imagination, and take control of their learning.
