School-based Early Years education
A school-based Early Years setting gives children the very best start to their education journey. At GEMS Wellington School – Qatar, for example, we have expert Early Years practitioners who are well-versed in the UK curriculum and aim to ensure all children are happy and engaged. We put significant thought and consideration into ensuring every child learns and makes excellent progress towards their Early Learning Goals while, most importantly, enjoying their time with us in a safe and dynamic environment.
The key to high-quality education is to provide children with a fun and safe environment in which they are comfortable exploring. Our school also offers a seamless transition from early years to primary education and helps parents understand the key developmental milestones. Parents have the opportunity to work in partnership with our highly skilled practitioners, focusing on their own child’s development.
