The Liberty Education International Preschool Curriculum
One of the distinguishing features of Liberty International School is our use of the Liberty Education International Preschool Curriculum, a structured early childhood learning system developed to support both teachers and students.
The curriculum draws on California's early learning frameworks, with learning objectives mapped to relevant elements of the UK Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and Singapore's Nurturing Early Learners (NEL) framework.
It supports six important developmental domains:
- Physical Development: Coordination, movement, fine motor skills and healthy physical growth.
- Social and Emotional Development: Confidence, cooperation, empathy and independence.
- Cognitive Development: Memory, reasoning, critical thinking and problem-solving.
- Language and Literacy: Communication, vocabulary, phonics and early reading and writing.
- Creative Arts: Music, drawing, imaginative play and artistic expression.
- Early Mathematics: Counting, number recognition, shapes, patterns and mathematical thinking.
The curriculum combines student books with online teacher guides, practical learning activities and supporting digital resources to promote consistent, structured and engaging instruction.
