Introduction
Lighthouse Chalong International Kindergarten & School delivers a hands-on, play-based curriculum for children aged 1–7 years, rooted in the Canadian Flight framework and enriched with influences from Montessori, Waldorf, and EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage). The program emphasizes cognitive skills (pattern recognition, sequencing, vocabulary), physical development (motor coordination, balance), social‑emotional growth (confidence, empathy, group play), and self-help abilities (personal care, responsibility). Learning includes early literacy through Jolly Phonics, Thai language basics, arithmetic, science, art, music, and outdoor activities, supported by indoor and outdoor play areas, sandpit, water-play, climbing equipment, and secure fenced grounds. Classes are kept small and staffed by native English-speaking, experienced educators to ensure stable, individualized learning.

Curriculum
Lighthouse Chalong International Kindergarten & School offers a bespoke early years curriculum for children aged 1 to 7. It integrates the Canadian Flight Framework with pedagogical elements from Montessori, Waldorf Steiner, and the UK’s Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).
The programme supports development in early literacy through Jolly Phonics, alongside numeracy, science exploration, and social-emotional learning. Thai language is introduced from the early years, and children also participate in weekly lessons in art, music, and physical education.
From Kindergarten onwards, students engage in early writing activities, thematic project work, and basic arithmetic using hands-on materials. The curriculum is designed for foundational learning and does not lead to formal qualifications, as it concludes with Grade 1.
