The importance of early childhood education can never be stressed enough. The emotional, social and physical development of your child will have a direct effect on their overall development and on the adult they will become. A recent study looking at the impact of preschool found compelling evidence for early education, indicating that children who attended 400 or more days of preschool at ages 2-3 years old scored higher on IQ tests than children of similar backgrounds who attended pre-school less often or not at all. That’s why investing in your child’s education right from the very beginning is so crucial if you want to maximize their future well being.
The International Preschool Curriculum was developed to raise the standard of preschool education, designing it to be more global and all-encompassing, focusing on improving and enhancing the whole individual. All across the world today, families, teachers and communities are experiencing the enormous benefits of IPC’s world-class curriculum. Present now in over 100 schools, across 6 continents, IPC has introduced a more progressive and innovative global education system.
At Grey Matter Montessori, we are passionate about providing world-class education to our students which is why we’ve adopted the international preschool curriculum to further augment the benefits of the Montessori method, striving to fulfill all your child’s educational and developmental needs.
The IPC curriculum was founded with the intention of promoting cultural harmony through progressive and global education and all the curricula are designed to cultivate critical thinking, enhance self-awareness and promote plurality through an understanding of other cultures.
Based on proven and peer-review concepts, the IPC curriculum is professionally designed in-house by the IPC design-studio, who works closely with individual governments to tailor the curricula materials to ensure local compliance.
Including play, inquiry and objective-based learning styles, the IPC curriculum includes various thematic units which cover 6 crucial learning areas:

The IPC is a thoughtfully designed curriculum, built to encourage individual learning and to provide children with a diverse early education. This innovative, advanced method has many benefits, including:
