- Early Childhood
Carolina Perdomo, Early Years Teacher
At Hangzhou International School (HIS), students can join Early Years 1 (EY1) from the age of two, with most of our students turning three throughout the school year. At this age, EY1 is often their first experience of regular socializing with other children and adults who are not family members. As a result, many EY1 children begin school with social skills that are still developing, and one of our most important goals throughout the school year is to support social and emotional development.
