International Kindergarten program (3-6+ years)

Pingu’s English and Kingston University London have identified six core curricula ‘strands’ which form the basis of the curriculum and through which children will learn, all in a fully English speaking environment.  These curriculum skills are:

• Communication, Language, Literacy, Reading, Writing and Spelling
• Physical Development
• Personal, Social, Emotional, Health and Well Being, and Cultural Diversity
• Numeracy, Shape, Space, and Measurement
• The World and Us
• Expressive and Creative Arts

Pingu’s English has also created 12 topic ‘threads’ which provide the framework for the curriculum: Custom, Family and friends, Belongings, Food, Home life, Number, Actions, Reactions and Consequences, Colors and shapes and many others.

As a key goal of the program is to develop early bilingualism, our tried, tested and trusted International Kindergarten curriculum is designed to be primarily delivered through the medium of the English language,

However, we appreciate that children in this age-group will still be developing communication skills in their mother-tongue, so it is natural and expected that some non-English support will be provided by our qualified kindergarten staff.

There is also flexibility within our International Kindergarten program  to add in any market-specific requirements required, such as local language instruction or religious education for instance, that may be required by the Ministry of Education in a given market.

 

Alongside comprehensive and engaging guidance for teachers to deliver inspiring lessons, our International Kindergarten curriculum offers premium-quality learning resources for every child to use in class and at home.

Student Resources:

• 3 LEVELS OF PINGU’S ENGLISH STUDENT PACK (including 36 Thread books/Activity Books).

• 3 LEVELS OF our PINGU’S ENGLISH LANGUAGE PACK (including a Student Pack of our English enrichment program).

• AUDIOVISUAL RESOURCES (songs, videos and stories).

• ONLINE LEARNING ZONE with activities, games and tests.

• PINGU’S ENGLISH LOGICAL PHONICS & SUPPORTING PHONICS CARDS

Pingu’s English offers a revolutionary new approach to phonics, which unites the strongest elements of analytical, episodic and synthetic teaching from around the world.

Our approach has had proven success on a global scale by exposing children to full words and phrases, building communication skills in English from their very first lesson in a Pingu’s English school.

Through play, practice and repetition both in school and at home, children quickly develop familiarity and confidence with all English sounds.

Every minute of every day has been meticulously planned to ensure that our globally successful Pingu’s English curriculum is delivered consistently and achieves guaranteed results! 

Our day-by-day lesson plans are built on key milestones in our students’ social and academic development.

Teachers are provided with a fully-comprehensive suite of resources to employ in our interactive, bilingual classrooms including:

• 12 Teacher Manuals per year – 36 Teacher’s Manual in total

• A comprehensive Kindergarten Operations Manual and Teacher’s Guide for the entire course.

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Book lists to help develop your own English library to support your students.

• Online templates provided through our partners exclusive online portal.

• Quarterly Webinars for update on the teaching program, tips, education trends and teachers training.
• Ongoing in-country visits and teacher training

A central principle of Pingu’s English programs is the delivery of tangible, speedy and meaningful results for children in terms of English language skills and wider learning ability.

In conjunction with the team at Kingston University London, Pingu’s English explored curricula from around the world to create a truly unique and engaging International Kindergarten program, which combines the most innovative and effective elements from the world’s leading models.

The International Kindergarten guidance for teachers provides regular opportunities on a daily, weekly and monthly basis for assessment of a child’s progress.

All students who complete a level of Pingu’s English will receive a formal certificate from Pingu’s English.

 

Our qualified English Teachers in early years combine exceptional teaching ability with a caring, nurturing nature which will encourage children in their very first adult interactions away from their parents.

Pingu’s English International Kindergarten combines two key elements, English-language instruction and early years child development, so naturally our qualified staff are required to embody both components equally well.

Pingu’s English provides first-class training (in-country and virtual) to teachers to make sure they are fully assisted while delivering the Pingu’s English International Curriculum.
