“Toddler” Approximately 2 to 3 years
The goal of a good program for toddlers is to help them develop into individuals who can sustain themselves, feel good about themselves, and grow up to be productive members of society. Toddler “curriculum” starts from the very beginning, with good teachers and a “developmentally appropriate program - one that provides safe, challenging, and meaningful materials for children’s learning. They learn best when they feel secure; through play, exploration, and observation; and at their own pace. AIEC will provide the most appropriate learning environment to achieve those goals.

“Preschool & Pre-Kinder”Approximately 3 to 5 years
We're proud of our diverse environments for our children. The preschool classroom focuses on the educational aspects in preparing the student for world. We emphasize the ‘safety of the nest for babies' to those first tentative steps of exploring past the nest for older children. Our surroundings are designed to open the child's mind to the world that await. Our school philosophy is “learning through hands on.”Our classes and activities are age-appropriate. The Creative Curriculum, lesson-planning system is completed by our staff of teachers, with the experience from the USA and combined with the Japanese Youchien (kindergarten) style that makes child's learning process stimulating and safe. Parents receive monthly curriculum calendars.

“Kindergarten / 1st & 2nd Grade”Approximately 5 to 8 years
These are the school age years, where their formal schooling will begin. They will learn the necessary skills needed to continue the rest of their formal schooling. Here they will learn reading/writing and math. Students will be grouped depending on their levels. AIEC can provide a well rounded education to meet the US Educational Standards.

“Preschool Enrichment Program”
AIEC provides an Enrichment Program of “specials” to enhance the student’s development of hands on concepts, science, cultural, and the arts. It is a unique, multi-culture playgroup method that will spark a child's interest. This program is open to all. PEP students are also invited to join events such as field trips and/or festive ceremonies. Toddlers may not be allowed to join without permission from the toddler teacher.

Open House (Morning Program )

Open House will be held at the first day of new school year. Family and students are invited to attend and make the acquaintance of the classroom teachers and classmates. During the open house parents will be orientated about the school. Information such as: daily schedule, monthly curriculum, yearly themes, calendar of events and further information regarding the student and school will be handed out.

We invite Preschool parents to attend the scheduled Parent Teacher conferences (a one-on-one meeting) that are held twice a year, once in July and February. Conferences are kept confidential. Each child will be assessed according to child developmentally practices. Teachers will assist in translation, if needed. Conferences will be after Preschool hours.

Field trips are an excellent way of enriching and expanding the children’s school experiences. While the children will take frequent walks around the neighborhood, field trips are an important part of the program for the children as well. To make our field trips possible, we need the cooperation of parents. Volunteering to help out with the classrooms to and from our field trips is an important function. Most of our field trips are arranged at no cost to parents. You will be notified in advance of any field-trip fees. A signed permission form must be on file in order for your child to participate.The Toddler class may be exempt from certain trips, depending on where they will be traveling.
