WELCOME TO THE 1st BILINGUAL PRESCHOOL AND CHILD CARE IN NiŠ
IEC program
IEC curriculum is a combination of Serbian and Canadian national curriculums taught bilingually in Serbian and English language.
Every day, we allocate 1 - 1.5 hours on academics teaching English, Serbian, Math, Science, and Social Studies through artistic and creative workshops, play and workbooks.
We spend our time outside, in nature, every day with a minimum of 1 to 1.5 hours. Every Friday we spend the day at the equestrian club Čegar surrounded by animals and nature.
The program is designed as a half-day or a full-day care for children 3-6.5 years old. In addition, we have a pre/after school program for children 7-12 years of age.
Educators are qualified B.Sc. teachers and pedagogues with advanced knowledge of English language.
Our vision is "Respectfully Living and Learning" - respecting ourselves and others, respecting individuality, diversity, family, nature, local community and the world.
We welcome you and your children to visit us for a 1:1 tour!

DVOJEZIČNA NASTAVA
Bilingualna (dvojezična) nastava u svetu uvedena je 80 – tih godina prošlog veka, a u školama u Srbiji održava se od 2004. godine.
Prednost dvojezične nastave u predškolskom uzrastu i ranom izlaganju dece drugom stranom jeziku je u lakšem savladavanju i usvajanju velikog broja reči i izraza, u ugodnom i stimulativnom okruženju kroz igru i kreativan rad.
Ideja kojom se vodi IEC je individualni pristup svakom detetu, pažljivo praćenje razvoja svakog deteta od strane kvalifikovanog osoblja, adekvatan odgovor na razvojne potrebe svakog deteta, sa ciljem usmeravanja deteta da uz što manje poteškoća dostigne svoj pun potencijal.
Prostor, oprema i didaktička sredstva predškolske ustanove su u funkciji vaspitno – obrazovne delatnosti i poštuju uslov da celokupan prostor predškolske ustanove bude podsticajan za različite aktivnosti, igru i istraživanje. IEC je prvi dvojezični vrtić i boravak za decu u Nišu.
PO ČEMU SE RAZLIKUJEMO
Mi smo vaspitno-obrazovna Ustanova čiji program počiva na sedam principa kroz koje stručan i kreativan kadar, individualnim pristupom, uz saradnju sa roditeljima, obezbeđuje zdravo, bezbedno i stimulativno okruženje, za celokupni rast i razvoj deteta. Svakodnevni i višečasovni boravak u prirodi, briga o biljkama i životinjama u Klubu za konjički sport „Čegar“, deo su naše misije očuvanja fizičkog zdravlja, odgovornosti prema drugim bićima i prirodi, buđenja ekološke svesti, samostalnosti i empatije kod dece.
Osim ljubavi prema drugim živim bićima, negujemo i ljubav prema umetnosti - naročito prema dramskom stvaralaštvu jer je pozorište najprijemčljivije sredstvo za igru, učenje, rešavanje problematičnih situacija, usvajanje pravih vrednosti itd. U tome nam pomaže i saradnja sa Lutkarskim pozorištem u Nišu i Narodnim pozorištem u Nišu. Pridružite se našoj IEC familiji!
