About us

About IBS Preschool Almaty
IBS Preschool Almaty implements a curriculum grounded in the latest research in early childhood education. We collaborate with the “Experience Curriculum”, a U.S. research-based early learning program designed to support the development of essential skills across eight core domains:
Social & Emotional Development
Physical Development
Approaches to Learning
Language & Literacy Development
Mathematics
Science
Social Studies
Creative Arts
Our program intentionally integrates these domains into daily activities, long-term projects, and extended learning experiences. Each experience is thoughtfully designed to invite children to explore their natural curiosities while applying multiple skills simultaneously. Through guided discovery, inquiry-based learning, and hands-on exploration, children build confidence, independence, and a strong foundation for lifelong learning.
At IBS Preschool Almaty, educators frame learning experiences around thematic studies. These themes help children connect prior knowledge with new discoveries through engaging, story-based contexts. Thematic learning strengthens real-world connections and allows children to explore topics such as themselves and their families, diverse communities, natural environments, global cultures, and their place within the wider world.
Our curriculum supports the development of 36 key skills distributed across the eight domains. Additionally, each domain includes specific learning goals tailored for children who are acquiring English as a second language. This ensures that bilingual and multilingual learners receive appropriate scaffolding while progressing academically alongside their peers.

Assessment & Developmental Milestones
English Immersion Environment
Holistic Child Development
English is used as the primary language of instruction at IBS Preschool Almaty. Children are immersed in English naturally throughout the day — during lessons, play, routines, meals, and social interactions. Rather than rote memorization, language acquisition occurs through meaningful communication, storytelling, music, movement, and collaborative activities. This immersive approach allows children to develop strong comprehension and speaking skills organically, while building confidence in expressing themselves.
We believe that early childhood education must nurture the whole child. Beyond academic readiness, IBS Preschool Almaty prioritizes:
  • Emotional intelligence and empathy
  • Self-regulation and independence
  • Critical thinking and problem-solving
  • Creativity and imagination
  • Collaboration and leadership skills
Our small group sizes allow teachers to provide individualized attention, monitor progress closely, and build strong relationships with each child and family.
Through a balanced blend of structured learning, purposeful play, STEAM-based exploration, physical movement, and creative expression, IBS Preschool Almaty prepares children not only for primary school success but for confident participation in an increasingly global and interconnected world.
At IBS Preschool Almaty, we utilize structured assessment tools to carefully monitor each child’s growth and development. These tools allow our educators to evaluate progress consistently and ensure that children are meeting — and often exceeding — age-appropriate developmental milestones at every stage.
Through ongoing observation, documentation, and developmental tracking, teachers identify each child’s strengths, areas for growth, and learning style. This data-driven approach enables us to personalize learning experiences, provide targeted support when needed, and challenge children appropriately so they can reach their full potential.
We believe that assessment is not about testing, but about understanding the child as a whole. Our goal is to guide every child toward confident, balanced, and measurable progress across all developmental domains.
