2-Year-Old Kindergarten Class

Discover, play, and grow from age two

We are thrilled to announce the opening of a brand-new Two-Year-Old Kindergarten class at ICS Côte d’Azur, starting September 2026. Part of our Early Childhood Centre, this specialised programme offers both full-time and part-time options in a bilingual learning environment, all within a nurturing setting guided by our Culture of Care.

Designed for our youngest learners, the class supports a gentle transition into school life, focusing on wellbeing, language development, and early learning through play.

Our Philosophy and Pedagogy

At ICS Côte d’Azur, our Two-Year-Old Kindergarten is built around a playful, bilingual approach that nurtures the whole child. Our philosophy focuses on early autonomy, language development, social skills, and a structured yet flexible environment, allowing toddlers to explore, discover, and grow every day. Learning is organised around five key domains, ensuring a balanced, hands-on introduction to school life
