About Early Years at Bloomingdale

At Bloomingdale International School, every detail is designed to ensure each child is happy, involved and learning. Our Early Learning Village [Village Campus], located in the heart of Benz Circle, Amaravthi, only 9 km from BIS Galileo Campus, is built on the simple truth: the environment nurtures the child. From AY 2022, our Early Learning Centre at the BIS Galileo Campus will also be operational. Our Early Year’ programme is for the Playgroup only. Primary Years Programme is followed from Nursery upwards.

Our Early Years’ architectural experts have created exceptional spaces for sensorial learning at every turn on both the campuses. Families enjoy the warmth of natural wood timbers and bright airy open spaces, to provide endless opportunities to learn, connect and belong.

Bloomingdale cultivate curiosity and discovery by providing hands-on learning experiences, sensory activities, and age-appropriate exploration. We create stimulating environments where children can freely explore their surroundings, ask questions, and engage in open-ended play. Our school encourage curiosity by introducing new concepts, materials, and experiences that spark children's interest and ignite their natural sense of wonder

Bloomingdale prioritizes emotional well-being by creating nurturing and supportive environments. We teach children to identify and express their emotions in healthy ways, using age-appropriate language. Our school provide opportunities for children to practice effective communication by encouraging them to express their thoughts, feelings, and needs. Teachers offer guidance and help children develop positive self-esteem, self-regulation skills, and the ability to navigate social interactions

Bloomingdale introduces children to the world around them by incorporating diverse cultures, traditions, and celebrations into their curriculum. We engage children in activities that promote an appreciation for nature, community, and the environment. Our School encourage conversations about different family structures, community helpers, and the importance of caring for our surroundings. By fostering an understanding of interconnectedness, Bloomingdale helps children develop a sense of belonging and responsibility towards their immediate and wider communities

Bloomingdale fosters imagination and creativity through imaginative play, storytelling, and artistic experiences. We provide open-ended materials and encourage children to explore their imaginations, create their own stories, and engage in pretend play. Our School incorporate music, art, and movement activities to stimulate creative expression. Teachers encourage children to think creatively, problem-solve, and explore various forms of artistic expression to nurture their unique creative abilities

Bloomingdale supports the development of independence by offering opportunities for children to make choices, take on responsibilities, and develop self-help skills. We create age-appropriate routines, encourage self-care activities, and provide opportunities for children to practice decision-making. Our school promote self-reliance by allowing children to explore their interests, engage in independent play, and take ownership of their learning. Teachers provide guidance and support as children develop skills that build confidence, autonomy, and a sense of accomplishment

Inquiry Learning: Learning Through Discovery

Broad and Balanced

An IB education represents a balanced approach, offering students access to a broad range of content that spans academic subjects.

In the PYP, learning aims to transcend boundaries between subject areas. As students develop in the MYP and DP, they engage subject-specific knowledge and skills with increasing sophistication.

Conceptual

Conceptual learning focuses on broad and powerful organizing ideas that are relevant within and across subject areas. It reaches beyond national and cultural boundaries. It helps integrate learning, add coherence to the curriculum, deepen disciplinary understanding, builds the capacity to engage with complex ideas, and allows transfer of learning to new contexts. PYP and MYP students learn the key concepts, and students in the DP further develop their conceptual understanding.

Connected

IB curriculum frameworks value concurrency of learning. Students encounter many subjects simultaneously throughout their programmes of study; they learn to draw connections and pursue rich understandings about the interrelationship of knowledge and experience across many fields. Course aims and programme requirements offer authentic opportunities to learn about the world in ways that reach beyond the scope of individual subjects.

Parents' feedback about our school. We provide an environment where we teach students how to think rather than what to think.

I’m very happy with my kid communication development in Bloomingdale. In fact, my child missed 2 years of early school education due to corona and directly entered EY2. After 5 - 6 months of schooling, his language and behaviour also has changed a lot. Wonderful ambience provided by Bloomingdale encourages my kid to attend school regularly and class teacher’s encouragement helps my kid to learn new things as a play activity.

My daughter, Samvida started her journey in Bloomingdale in 2019. She was very shy and knows only little English. She acclimatised in 3 months. Now, she is very confident in her language, reading and communication. She actively takes part in all the school ongoing activities. My son, Sougath joined this year in EY1. Before this, we joined him in another school, where he always used to cry to go to school. But now, he gets ready himself and loves to go to the school. He is very enthusiastic and loves to do inquiry in everything.

This is the first year school for my daughter, Avni in India and we were really worried about how she can adjust to Indian schooling. But now, I am totally worried free of thinking about Avni, since she is physically attending the School. Right now, she is really enjoying at school rather than at home. I am so happy that she is coping up with each & every department. A big KUDOS to each & every staff for taking care of Avni. Bloomingdale truly embraces the entire child academically and socially. My daughter is so lucky to have such a supportive environment.

At BIS I am happy with the way Sahasra has become more independent. She is ready to understand problems and look towards solution. BIS has made Sahasra learn, think on her own.
