Keiki Intercultural Preschool is a school for the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme and pursuing authorization as an IB World School.

​

IB World Schools share a common philosophyーa commitment to improve the teaching and learning of a diverse and inclusive community of students by delivering challenging, high-quality programmes of international education that share a powerful vision.

 

The IB PYP program draws on research and best practices from a range of national educational systems. The result is a relevant, engaging and challenging curriculum with a global perspective for all students.

 

Although the PYP program serves children aged all the way from 3 – 12, it “ … acknowledges the unique needs of early learners, aged 3 to 6 years."

 

It is a distinguishing feature of the programme which recognizes that learners in this age range require approaches to learning and teaching that honors their developmental stage, and the importance of play as a vehicle for inquiry.

We are proud to be an IB World School, officially accredited by the International Baccalaureate (IB) in June. Our Primary Years Programme (PYP) for ages 3 to 6 is built on a play-based approach that encourages curiosity, exploration, and discovery.

At the heart of our program are these key features:

  • Inquiry-Based Learning
    Children are encouraged to ask questions, follow their interests, and explore the world around them. Teachers guide their investigations and support them in making their own discoveries.

  • Transdisciplinary Learning
    Learning goes beyond traditional subjects. A single topic—like nature—can be explored through science, storytelling, art, and hands-on experiences.

  • Play-Based Learning
    Play is how young children learn best. Our classrooms are designed to be safe, inspiring spaces where children learn through doing, imagining, and interacting with others.

  • Student-Centered Approach
    Every child is unique. We personalize learning to meet their needs and interests, helping them build confidence, independence, and a love of learning.

  • Global Perspective
    As part of the IB community, we celebrate diversity and help children develop an understanding of different cultures, languages, and ways of life.

Our PYP program creates a joyful, meaningful learning environment where children grow into confident, caring, and curious lifelong learners.
