TAt Global Ecokids, children are nurtured, cared for and instructed according to the modern methods, focusing on respect and discipline. We also focus on motor activities and the outdoors. Children are free to explore and develop naturally based on the spirit of respect for differences.

CLASSES

Global Ecokids International Preschool provides learning programs for children aged 18 months to 6 years old. We maintain small classes with a desirable teacher to student ratio. 

Combined age class:
In case the number of students of any particular age group falls below half the maximum number of students, ages groups may be combined into one class. 

DAILY OPERATION SCHEDULE

Global Ecokids International Preschool operates daily from 7:15am to 5pm. Appropriate changes are made depending on the curriculum and age group. The schedule of daily activities is as follows.

OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES:

The school regularly organizes outings and field trips for children to:

• Participate in extended outdoor lessons

• Learn and explore the environment

• Arouse their ability to observe

• Learn to utilize public spaces 

• Develop social skills

PHYSICAL EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES

The school organizes weekly activities like going to the park, playing soccer, doing yoga, and and doing aerobics. Parents should prepare clothing appropriate for these activities.

Physical activities not only help children have a healthy body but are also a great way to help children become more confident, learn a new skill, and build respect for safety rules in sports. All children are encouraged to participate in physical lessons.

* Physical education activities are dependent on fair weather conditions.

6.CHILDREN’S HEALTH:

Check children’s body temperature: In order to provide the best health care for students, Global Ecokids applies a medical policy to check the body temperature of all students, parents, staff and visitors on arrival. This helps to prevent viruses from spreading to other children. The school has the right to refuse students entry into the class when there is a body temperature above 38oC.

Contagious Diseases: To avoid potentially infectious diseases in children. Parents are encouraged to keep their children at home if they have symptoms of illness like diarrhea and vomiting, and especially if they have symptoms of influenza, measles, fever, red eyes, hand-foot-mouth, chicken pox, and mumps. Parents are welcome to send their children back to school after they have completely recovered and have a doctor’s certificate.

Children who are ill at school: If a child becomes sick while at school, we have a medical officer who looks after the child while waiting for a parent to come for pick up.

Medication: Parents can send medicines to their children for use in the classroom but shoul not put the medication into the child’s backpack. All medications should be submitted to the receptionist with clear instructions or prescription. The school is not responsible if parents fail to follow these instructions. Children taking antibiotics should do so at home.

In an emergency medical situation, we will transport the baby to the nearest medical facility.
