At Invento, the Early Years Programme involves children aged 2 to 6 and is implemented at the Tashkent City Campus — our early development school. We provide learning based on IB standards and the best practices in early year education, considering each child’s interests and creating an environment where the learning process becomes an engaging and natural process. Here we lay the foundation for the child’s successful future and ensure a smooth transition to Grade 1 of primary school.
At Invento, the EY Programme is divided into four grade levels:
Each grade follows a structured daily schedule: academic activities take place from 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM, followed by after-school clubs and extracurriculars. Lessons are held in 30-minute blocks with regular breaks. Starting from Early Years 1, all instruction is conducted entirely in English. The programme includes not only academic subjects, but also swimming sessions, music classes, outdoor activities, massage sessions, speech therapy lessons and other subjects.
The programme is built around six key areas of a child's development:
Early Years students:
Invento Early Years School is a new concept for Uzbekistan that combines the best elements of both kindergarten and school. We create an environment where children engage in the learning process from an early age, while maintaining a playful approach. Unlike traditional kindergartens, academic learning is a priority here — we teach children to think, ask questions, explore, and express themselves through language, mathematics, science, and the arts.
At the same time, we preserve all the best aspects of early childhood education: individual attention, a warm atmosphere, learning through play, and respect for each child's own pace. At the heart of our approach is the child — their interests, personality, and natural development.
We foster a nurturing environment built on care, trust, and respect. We don’t impose knowledge — we create a space where children feel safe and genuinely want to learn and explore.
All our teachers undergo regular IB training and use observation, documentation, and reflection methods. Learning is built on close collaboration with parents.
We believe the purpose of early education is not just preparation for school, but the development of a well-rounded, balanced, and conscious individual — someone who can think independently, feel deeply, and interact with the world with respect and curiosity.
At the Early Years School, learning is not structured around traditional “lessons” but instead follows six areas of development and learning recommended by the IB. These areas help children build a holistic understanding of the world and lay a strong foundation for future learning.
Children explore themselves, their families, friendships, emotions, and relationships. Example: they discuss why we feel angry and how to express emotions with words, create a “family tree,” and role-play “a day with the family.”
Children investigate how society works, different professions, the role of rules, and how people collaborate. Example: they play “bakery” or “hospital,” learn how a kindergarten operates, and create their own “classroom rules.”
Children become familiar with natural phenomena, animals, plants, and basic scientific concepts. Example: they plant seeds and observe how a plant grows, study the three states of water, and experiment with magnets.
Children learn to express their thoughts through speech, art, movement, music, and drama. Example: they draw emotions, tell stories, sing songs in different languages, and perform mini-presentations.
Children learn to navigate space and time, develop early skills in counting, shapes, sequencing, and comparisons. Example: they build houses with blocks based on size, create a weather calendar, count toys and compare which is “more,” “taller,” etc.
Children develop gross and fine motor skills through hands-on activitieas and phisical play, learn self-care and empathy, and build healthy habits. Example: they play outdoors, learn proper hand-washing techniques, and discuss why it's important to share toys and be polite.
