Wellbeing

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

Da Vinci's International Preschool provides an all-round education that supports social and emotional development. Daily activities include talking in English with native speakers, learning through play, and celebrating children's successes. Children engage in group play, create artworks, and participate in walks and games that develop collaboration and communication. Native speakers support English language development daily, reinforcing social interaction in an immersive environment. The program combines language learning with artistic and physical activities to nurture confidence, empathy, and resilience.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)

Da Vinci's International Preschool recognises children with special educational needs. SEN are defined as children who require recognition and support for developmental and educational needs due to factors such as disabilities, social maladjustment, chronic illness, specific learning difficulties, language and communication disorders, educational underachievement, crises or traumatic situations, neglect, or other factors affecting development. The policy sets out procedures to identify and respond to these needs and to provide appropriate support. Staff training and welfare policies guide inclusive practices. The safeguarding framework supports coordination with families and external specialists when necessary. The policy ensures a supportive environment that attends to individual developmental needs.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

Da Vinci's International Preschool is an English-speaking bilingual preschool. We talk in English with native speakers every day to improve language skills. We employ native speakers to allow your child to improve their English language skills daily. The school implements the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) and maintains bilingual education. The bilingual framework promotes language development and cultural awareness. English is used as the primary language of instruction, with exposure to another language as part of the bilingual approach.

Mental Wellbeing

Da Vinci's looks after holistic development, including psychological wellbeing. We focus on the emotional development of children and aim to help them recognise and constructively express their emotions. There is a commitment to encouraging healthy lifestyles, regular outdoor activity, nutritious meals, and social interaction as part of daily routines. The health program explicitly includes emotional support to help children build resilience and positive self-esteem. A combination of social, cultural, and physical activities supports overall mental wellbeing.

Safeguarding

The preschool implements Child Protection Standards to eliminate risks of harm to minors and safeguard the welfare of children in the preschool and partner institutions. The standards aim to ensure safety, listen to children, respect their rights, involve them in decisions, and provide guardians with reassurance about welfare practices. Staff, volunteers, and interns follow these standards in daily practice. The policy defines 'Children with special educational needs' and outlines categories of vulnerability that require attention and support. An Intervention Team can be appointed by the director to address cases of abuse, and parental consent is required for major decisions; if parental agreement cannot be reached, issues may be resolved by the family court.
