Our Curriculum

Thoughtfully designed around the American Early Childhood Education Standard, our curriculum nurtures every child’s growth. Academically, socially, and emotionally.

AMERICAN PRESCHOOL CURRICULUM

AMERICAN PRESCHOOL CURRICULUM

At Bear Hugs, we follow an American-based preschool curriculum approved by the Saudi Ministry of Education, thoughtfully designed to support how young children naturally learn: Through hands-on experiences, purposeful play, and guided exploration. Each stage of the program is developmentally appropriate and tailored to match children’s needs, helping them build skills at the right pace and in the right way.

Our approach nurtures academic growth in literacy, math, and science, while also fostering emotional resilience, social confidence, and a lifelong love of learning. Alongside English, children are introduced to Arabic and basic Quran, helping them grow in both knowledge and cultural identity. By supporting the whole child — mind, heart, and body — we lay the foundation for lifelong success.

WHAT WE TEACH AND HOW WE TEACH IT

Our curriculum is built on key areas of early childhood development, combining structured learning with purposeful play.

LITERACY

Early literacy at Bear Hugs begins with joyful discovery. Children develop foundational reading skills through phonics, storytelling, and group reading sessions that spark imagination and comprehension. Writing is gently introduced with an emphasis on letter formation, sentence building, and creative
expression, helping children find their voice, one word at a time.

LITERACY

MATHEMATICS

Math becomes meaningful when it’s hands-on. Through games, puzzles, and playful activities, children explore number sense, counting, patterns, basic operations, measurement, and problem- solving. Our approach builds both confidence and curiosity, laying the groundwork for a lifelong love of numbers and logical thinking.

MATHEMATICS

SCIENCE

Our science curriculum invites children to become little explorers. Through observation, experiments, and discovery-based learning, they investigate the world around them, from plants and animals to weather, the five senses, and basic physical science. Each topic encourages curiosity, wonder, and a deeper connection to the natural world.

SCIENCE

CURIOSITY CORNERS
