Children who arrive at school with the confidence of making choices, expressing themselves and recovering from setbacks; settle faster and engage deeper. Confidence is the precondition for everything the IB framework is designed to unlock.<\/span><\/p><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Does the IB Early Years Programme Actually Look Like?<\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/owis.org\/in\/bangalore\/sarjapur\/ib-early-childhood\/\"> <b>IB Early Years Programme<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is inquiry-driven, play-based and child-led.
