Each class is led by teachers who are fluent in each language, helping kids grow their skills naturally through songs, stories, play, and daily interactions. From Nursery to Pre-K, Swiss German is used, while in Kindergarten I, the focus shifts to High German.

Inspired by internationally recognised child development principles and aligned with milestones similar to the British Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), children benefit from a warm and stimulating start to learning.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nDaily experiences are play-based and guided by skilled educators who use observation, interaction and individual support to help every child grow in confidence, communication and independence.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nFor children aged 0\u20133, the focus is on the foundations that matter most: personal, social and emotional development, communication and language, and physical growth. As babies become toddlers and preschoolers, they build secure attachments, early language, coordination, social awareness and problem-solving skills.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nThese important first experiences create strong foundations for Pre-K, Kindergarten and later school success within the International School Zurich North Early Years pathway.<\/p>\n                        <\/div><\/div> <\/div>\n             <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n<\/section>\n    <section  id=\"pre-k\"  style='' class=\"section     pt-0   \" ><div class=\"container-fluid\"><div class=\"row    \"><div class=\" col-lg-6 col-md-6      \" ><div class=\"component   radius-bottom-LR \" style='px'><div class=\"sub-heading component\"><h2  class=\"h2  \">Pre-K at ISZN: A Confident Step Towards Kindergarten<\/h2><\/div>\n                        <div class=\"sub-heading component \">\n                        <p class=\"body-medium\">Building on the foundations developed at Little Ibex, our Pre-K programme helps children take the next important step in their learning journey. Children continue to learn in a nurturing and play-based environment, while benefiting from increasing structure that prepares them confidently for Kindergarten.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nPre-K follows the British curriculum in an age-appropriate and engaging way, combining strong academic foundations with personal development.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nChildren develop early Mathematics skills through the White Rose Maths approach, supporting counting, sorting, patterns and problem-solving. English learning is guided through the British curriculum and Read Write Inc., helping children build confidence in phonics, reading and early writing.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nThe wider curriculum includes Physical Education, Performing Arts and Forest Education. These experiences promote movement, creativity, resilience and curiosity through active learning indoors and outdoors.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nEnglish and German are naturally integrated into daily life, helping children strengthen communication skills and develop early bilingual confidence.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nA key area of learning is Understanding the World, where children build independence, self-help skills, motor skills and classroom readiness. They learn routines, strengthen concentration and develop the confidence needed for the next stage of school.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nWith caring support from our teaching team, each child is guided individually, ensuring a smooth and positive transition into Kindergarten.<\/p>\n                        <\/div><\/div><\/div>\n                    <div class=\"col-lg-6 col-md-6    \"><div class=\"component single-img \"><div class=\"ratio ratio-1x1 callout-img halfcol--img image_overlay_5685\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/cognita.network\/stgis\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/166\/2026\/03\/IMG_3767.jpeg);\"><\/div><\/div> <\/div>\n             <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n<\/section>\n    <section  id=\"kindergarten-1\"  style='' class=\"section     pt-0   \" ><div class=\"container-fluid\"><div class=\"row    \"><div class=\" col-lg-6 col-md-6    order-2 order-md-1   \" ><div class=\"component link\"><div class=\"ratio ratio-1x1 callout-img halfcol--img image_overlay_2362\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/cognita.network\/stgis\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/166\/2026\/03\/IMG_1992.jpeg);\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n                    <div class=\"col-lg-6 col-md-6  order-1 order-md-2   \"><div class=\"component   radius-bottom-LR \" style='px'><div class=\"sub-heading component\"><h2  class=\"h2  \">Kindergarten at ISZN: Strong Foundations for Primary School<\/h2><\/div>\n                        <div class=\"sub-heading component \">\n                        <p class=\"body-medium\">Kindergarten at International School Zurich North is the next stage in a child\u2019s educational journey, where learning becomes more structured while remaining engaging, supportive and age-appropriate.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nFollowing the British curriculum, children build strong academic foundations alongside confidence, independence and curiosity.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nStructured lessons include English, German, Mathematics, Science, History and Geography. Mathematics is taught through White Rose Maths, supporting clear step-by-step progress in number sense and problem-solving. English learning combines the British curriculum with Read Write Inc., helping children strengthen reading, phonics and writing skills.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nChildren also take part in Physical Education and Performing Arts, which support teamwork, creativity, self-expression and physical development.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nThroughout Kindergarten, our teaching team provides guidance, challenge and individual attention so that every child continues to thrive academically, socially and emotionally.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nThis balanced approach prepares children confidently for Primary School and encourages a lifelong love of learning.<\/p>\n                        <\/div><\/div> <\/div>\n             <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n<\/section>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<section  style='background-color:#1c2f41;' class=\"section   section--blue   smaller-width red-btn\"><div class=\"container-fluid\"><div class=\"row m-0 align-items-center centerText \" >\n                        <div class=\"col-sm-12 col-md-10 col-lg-9 mx-auto\"><div class=\"sub-heading component\">\n                                        <h2 class=\"h5\">Ready to Explore the Right Pathway for Your Child?<\/h2>\n                                    <\/div><div class=\"sub-heading component\"><p>Set up the next step to confirm fit and subject planning.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"flex-button\"><div class=\"component link text-center  btnBottom-flexible\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iszn.ch\/book-a-consultation\/\" class=\" btn btn-primary\">Book a Consultation<\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"flex-button\"><div class=\"component link text-center  btnBottom-flexible\"><a href=\"#\" class=\" btn btn-primary btn-primary--border\" target=\"_blank\">Download our Prospectus<\/a><\/div><\/div><style>\n                        .flex-button {\n                        display: inline-flex;\n                        margin-left: 12px;\n                        margin-top: 25px;\n                    }\n                        \n                    @media (max-width: 767px){\n                     .flex-button {\n                      display: block;\n                      margin-left: 0;\n                    }\n                    .flex-button .text-center{\n                     text-align: left !important;\n                    }\n                    }\n\n\n                        <\/style><\/div><\/div><\/section><section  style='background-color:#1c2f41;margin-top:-30px;' class=\"section   section--blue pt-0  \"><div class=\"container-fluid\"><div class=\"row m-0 align-items-center centerText \" >\n                        <div class=\"col-sm-12 col-md-10 col-lg-9 mx-auto\"><div class=\"sub-heading component\"><p><a style=\"color: #0099ff;
