Nurturing Growth and Multilingualism at GCS

From the moment a child enters the world, their journey of rapid development begins. At GCS (Global Children School), we’ve cultivated a nurturing environment tailored to fuel growth across all developmental domains. Our primary focus encompasses physical development and sensory-motor skills, aiming to provide stimulating experiences that empower our infants to reach their utmost potential.Our environment is purposefully designed to encourage movement and progression in our little ones. This setting is carefully crafted to foster sensory skills and facilitate exploration, especially for our tiny crawlers.

Benefits of Multilingualism in Infancy

Cognitive Advantages: Early exposure to multiple languages can enhance cognitive skills, including problem-solving, multitasking, and mental flexibility.
Cultural Understanding: Multilingual infants develop an early appreciation for different cultures and languages, fostering a sense of inclusivity and cultural diversity.
Language Acquisition Skills: Learning multiple languages in infancy can make it easier for children to learn additional languages later in life.

Strategies to Support Multilingual Language Development:

Consistent Exposure: Ensure consistent exposure to each language by assigning specific contexts or family members to each language to avoid confusion.
Encourage Communication: Create an environment where the baby feels encouraged to communicate in both languages by responding positively to their attempts in each language.
Maintain Patience: Be patient with the baby’s language development process. Code-switching is a natural phase and indicates the brain’s ability to process multiple languages.

Parental Role in Multilingual Language Development

Modeling Languages: Parents or caregivers who speak multiple languages can model the use of each language naturally in everyday conversations.
Reading and Songs: Read books, sing songs, and recite rhymes in each language to expose infants to a variety of vocabulary and language patterns.

How is transition goes for my child?

We understand that transitions between daycare and home can be significant for infants and families. We provide a warm and welcoming environment during drop-off and pick-up times, allowing time for toddlers to ease into or out of the daycare setting. Our educators communicate openly with parents and provide updates on their child's day to ensure a smooth transition between daycare and home environments.

What is the classoom ratio?

The classroom ratio refers to the number of children under the supervision of each teacher or caregiver in a daycare or educational setting. The ratio is an important factor in ensuring the safety, well-being, and quality of care for children. For infants, who are typically aged between 3 months to 1.3 years old, the  classroom ratio is 2:7 according to local regulations and licensing requirements.

Do you offer any resources or tips for parents to support transitions at home?

Yes, we provide resources and tips for parents to support smooth transitions at home. This may include creating visual schedules, establishing consistent routines, and offering comfort and encouragement during challenging transitions.
