Early Years Programme

Early Years at SBS Rangsit

At SBS, we recognise that play is the foundation of meaningful learning. In the Early Years, children learn best when they are actively engaged, curious, and inspired, exploring the world around them through purposeful, play-based experiences.

Our learning environments are thoughtfully designed to be immersive, stimulating, and child-centred, where every experience is intentional. Through open-ended learning and hands-on exploration, children are encouraged to think independently, ask questions, and develop a genuine love of learning.

Drawing upon internationally recognised best practices in early childhood education, our programme provides strong academic foundations while remaining developmentally appropriate. Within a nurturing bilingual environment, children build confidence in both Thai and English, supported by structured approaches to early literacy and numeracy, including Jolly Phonics.

Learning at SBS is delivered through inquiry and thematic exploration, enabling children to make meaningful connections across areas of learning. Rather than teaching subjects in isolation, we create integrated experiences that develop thinking, communication, and problem-solving skills. Everyday activities, from creative projects to collaborative tasks, become rich opportunities for intellectual and social growth.

Our teachers act as skilled facilitators, adapting learning to each child’s unique interests, needs, and stage of development. This ensures that every child feels both supported and appropriately challenged.

We place equal importance on wellbeing and personal development. Through collaboration, communication, and shared experiences, children develop confidence, resilience, and empathy — key attributes for lifelong success. Regular outdoor learning further enhances physical development, independence, and a connection with the natural world.

At SBS, our Early Years programme lays the foundation for academic excellence, strong character, and a lifelong love of learning, preparing children to thrive within the SBS learning pathway and beyond.

Advantages of SBS Tiger Cubs

All of our Tiger Cubs programs focus on 6 developmental areas

BRAIN POWER

Neuroscientists tell us that when a baby is born, the brain is the most developed organ in the body. A baby’s early play experiences will continue developing parts of the brain as well as activating many genes.

EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT

A unique skill base that requires young children to learn to regulate their emotions, feel good about themselves, take risks and develop resilience.

SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT

This affects how children interact with others, how they share, participate in play involving one or more children, accept rules and cooperate with peers. Often children around two years will find this a difficult stage in their development so repetition and patience is the key here.

PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT

This is commonly known as `head to toe’ development and is divided into gross motor and fine motor skills. Gross motor is the development of large muscles that control different parts of the body such as legs, arms and trunk. Ball games, bike riding, climbing, walking, swimming and running all help develop gross motor skills.

LANGUAGE and LITERACY DEVELOPMENT

Language and literacy includes verbal and print media so books posters, signs and symbols in the environment stimulate conversations. Language also includes non-verbal communication through body language, gestures and facial expressions. The development of communication therefore, requires plenty of opportunities for children to practice speech.

COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT

This is also called Intellectual development and this is about developing thinking and reasoning skills. The ability to remember people, names, places, songs, rhymes etc. To be able to sort, classify, estimate and concentrate. Using information in order to hypothesize, solve problems and discover new ways of doing things are all important cognitive skills that lead to scientific, mathematical and linguistic concepts later.
