PRE-SCHOOL CURRICULUM: A PLAY-BASED LEARNING JOURNEY
Our specialist Pre-school in Geneva, Switzerland, is a dynamic and exciting learning environment, where every child benefits from personalised teaching and support. Going at their own pace – and celebrating every achievement – our Nursery and Pre-school age students make new discoveries, grow in confidence, and develop their social, emotional, and intellectual skills. Every learning takes place on our beautiful campus in Versoix, a peaceful lakeside suburb to the north of the city centre.

THREE PRE-SCHOOL PROGRAMMES
Unique to our private Pre-school in Versoix, Geneva, we offer three distinct programmes: Anglophone, Francophone, and Bilingual. These are based on the very best teaching practices, including those adopted from the International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC). From this early age, our Nursery and Pre-school students can learn in French, English, or a combination of the two.
The Pre-school curriculum at Collège du Léman is split into the following age groups:
- PS0 (age 2-3), which is a fully Bilingual programme.
- PS1 (age 3-4) and PS2 (age 4-5), which offer a choice of English, French or Bilingual programmes.
- PS3 (ages 5-6), which offers a choice of English, French or Bilingual programmes.
A HOLISTIC INTERNATIONAL PRE-SCHOOL CURRICULUM
DEVELOP WITH ALL YOUR SENSES
The International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC) is a play-based, structured programme, which helps our children to develop socially, emotionally, and intellectually. Adapted to our unique Pre-school in Geneva, Switzerland, your child will explore the world around them, get active, and learn through engaging themes and topics.
Our goals are:
- To foster exploration, curiosity, and autonomy.
- To nurture social interaction, confidence, and self-esteem.
- To focus on the joy of trying, not just the outcome.
- To stimulate the active expression of imagination.

HEALTH AND WELLBEING
We know that children learn best when they’re happy, secure, and cared for, which is why wellbeing is an integral part of every child’s Pre-school experience.
At our trailblazing kindergarten in Geneva, specialist teachers and support staff forge strong relationships with our students. They help them to navigate their emotions, encourage positive interactions, and provide lots of opportunities to socialise. They also build trust and mutual respect, take the time to get to know unique personalities, and identify areas for development.
We also encourage our Nursery and Pre-school age students to get moving and spend lots of time outside, whether it’s playing in our Concha garden during the summer or sledging in winter.

OUR RISE VALUES
Every student’s Pre-school experience is underpinned by our RISE values of Respect, Internationalism, Spirit, and Excellence. These bring our community together and provide firm personal, social, and emotional foundations.
During Respect Week, for example, our children learn the importance of saying ‘thank you’ and listening to one another. For our Internationalism Week, meanwhile, students come dressed in traditional clothes that represent their home country.
