Curriculum & Learning Approach
A holistic framework designed to nurture your child's cognitive, social-emotional, physical, and language development.
The Heart of Our Method: Joyful, Purposeful Play
At Ikigai, we believe learning is not a race; it's a joyful exploration. Our curriculum is built on the philosophy that children learn best when they are engaged, curious, and playing with purpose. Through play, they develop critical thinking, social skills, and a genuine love for discovery that lasts a lifetime.
Our Preschool Stages
Three distinct stages to guide your child's early learning journey.
Age 1.5 to 2.5 years
A gentle start to structured learning. We focus on building trust, developing routines, and encouraging sensory exploration through music, movement, and playful interaction.
Timing Schedule (1.5 hrs)
| Group | Morning (Sprout) | Day () |

| Pre-Play | 9:00 - 10:30 |

Learning through entertainment is our primary approach to help children explore new boundaries and spend joyful time away from home. We prepare them for the learning process with thought-provoking tools and expert assistance.

Our Unique Learning Model
We blend the world's best educational philosophies and adapt them with a Bangladeshi heart.
Montessori Elements
We embrace the Montessori focus on child-led exploration, using hands-on materials that encourage independence, concentration, and a deep respect for the learning process.
Cambridge Framework
We integrate the Cambridge system’s structured learning milestones, ensuring children develop strong foundational skills in literacy, numeracy, and global awareness, fully preparing them for primary school.
With a Bangladeshi Heart
A global curriculum is only effective when it resonates with a child's own culture and identity. We thoughtfully localize our blended model to create a learning environment that is both world-class and deeply familiar.
Cultural Integration
We weave stories from our own poets, celebrate national holidays like Pohela Boishakh, and instill the values that are core to our Bangladeshi heritage.
Bilingual Environment
Children are comfortably immersed in both Bangla and English, building fluency and confidence in both languages from an early age.
Local Context
Lessons about nature, food, and community are grounded in our local context, using examples of familiar fruits, animals, and places to make learning more relevant and tangible.
Our Core Developmental Focus
We are dedicated to nurturing every aspect of your child's growth. Our programs are specially designed to explore each child's inner potential with care.
