Wellbeing and Support

How students are nurtured, understood, and kept safe

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

At the EYC, Jungle School is a core part of daily learning, where Nursery and Reception children explore a contained jungle environment that encourages communication, resilience, problem-solving, and risk-taking in a natural play context. Teachers and supervising adults support children's reflection and independence, helping develop confidence through hands-on experiences like tree climbing, den building, and nature art. The school does not publicly disclose any additional SEL-specific programmes or dedicated staff roles beyond Jungle School and classroom teacher support.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)

GIS is not a specialist SEN institution, but it is responsibly inclusive. The school employs a dedicated Learning Support team—qualified teachers who deliver in-class and additional support across all year groups, tailored to individual student needs, including social, emotional, academic, and physical needs within internal capacity.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

There is no publicly available information on EAL provisions specifically for the Early Years Centre. The school does not currently detail EAL support programs, staff, or initiatives for Nursery or Reception.

Mental Wellbeing

While there is a general belief at GIS in supporting children’s wellbeing via pastoral care and counsellors across the school, there is no publicly disclosed information on mental wellbeing programmes, staff, or initiatives specific to the Early Years Centre.

Safeguarding

There is no publicly available information about safeguarding or child protection policies specific to the Early Years Centre. Details on EYC-level procedures or staff for safeguarding are not disclosed on public platforms.

Garden International School’s Early Years Centre (EYC) in Desa Sri Hartamas serves children aged 3–5 within the UK Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and a British-based curriculum. Children learn through play while building early literacy and numeracy, supported by specialist lessons and Mandarin as an additional language. A distinctive feature is Jungle School, where classes move outdoors for hands-on exploration; GIS has further expanded nature-play with newly developed, multi-sensory outdoor spaces for its youngest learners. The EYC sits five minutes from the Main Campus in Mont Kiara, easing the transition into GIS’s through-school pathway (3–18). Families can use the school’s bus service, and fee information (including Early Years tuition) is published online. The wider GIS community totals 2,000+ students, with long-established strengths in sport and the arts
