Our Motto, Vision and Philosophy<\/h2>\n

Our Motto: \u201cWe prepare students with 21st Century skills today to become the community leaders and global citizens of tomorrow.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Our Vision : The vision of KKIS is to nurture confident, creative, and well-rounded young learners by providing a world-class education based on the National Curriculum of England. The school aims to inspire curiosity, foster critical thinking, and prepare students to thrive in a globalised world while maintaining a strong connection to Thai culture and values.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our Philosophy : We believe education is a continual process built on relationships between teachers, students and families \u2013 our community! We are all learners in this process of discovery. The family is the child\u2019s first and most enduring teacher and thus it is our responsibility to work in partnership with them so together we can build on and share effective social, emotional, physical and intellectual learning that continues throughout the child\u2019s life. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

We believe that children start learning from birth, and that building an applied learn-ing and development approach in the Early Years will encourage progress through school and future life. We adopt an activity-based approach to learning as well as recognise the \u201csensory\u201d role of \u201cplay\u201d. Play is a crucial way in which children make sense of their world. We value and understand what children are seeing in play and what it means for their development across our Curriculum.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Brief History<\/h2>

KK International Preschool is located in the village known as \u2018Kasalong Villa\u2019 (Moo 9 Mae Pa in Mae Sot). Kasalong is the name of a tree (also known as Indian Cork Tree) which has a very distinctive park and beautiful small white flowers.<\/p>

In October 2015, KK English Club opened and started teaching English Courses and English Camps on weekends and school holidays for children 5-13 years old. By 2017, plans were developed to build a private preschool, and KK International Preschool opened May 2018.<\/p>

In May 2019, a second, larger building was officially opened to accommodate full classes in nursery, Kindergarten 1, 2 and 3 with dedicated space for the all classes, and a fully equipped kitchen, canteen. hall, staff room and main reception.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

      Hygiene<\/span><\/h3>

      We have a consistent and rigorous approach to hygiene. Our buildings, grounds and garden are kept clean and hygienic and food preparation, storage and serving meets international hygiene standards (e.g., clean, storage, vermin).<\/p>

      We are working towards reducing the use of chemical cleaning products and the products we use are kept out of children\u2019s reach. We teach children how to use the toilet correctly and when and how to wash their hands (e.g., always after petting animals or messy play, before eating, drinking and sleeping and after coughing and blowing or wiping the nose). Nappy changing facilities and dis-posal are strictly controlled.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

      Nutrition<\/span><\/h3>

      We provide healthy and nutritious lunches so that your child has a balanced\u00a0 diet each day (e.g., protein, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals). Our lunch menu includes Thai and international options. Afternoon snacks include fruit\u00a0 and savoury options and we avoid foods that have high sugar or salt content\u00a0 or artificial flavourings and colourings. We aim to purchase locally produced, in season fruit, vegetables and meat and restrict our use of imported produce.\u00a0 \u00a0We work with families to ensure special allergies and dietary requirements are\u00a0 accommodated according to those highlighted on your Application Form.\u00a0 Your child does not need to bring in additional food or drink.\u00a0 We encourage\u00a0 families to work with us to develop good eating habits which include :\u00a0<\/p>

      \u2022 Washing hands before eating and drinking<\/p>

      \u2022 Sitting down whilst eating, and eating unaided with utensils (e.g., spoon, fork)<\/p>

      \u2022 Self-serve portions which should include a little bit of everything<\/p>

      \u2022 Limiting the time for consuming meals and snacks<\/p>

      \u2022 Clear table, wash utensils, clean teeth.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

      Health<\/span><\/h3>

      Our attention to good hygiene practice should have a positive impact on the health and wellbeing of your child (e.g., hand washing, sneezing, coughing) as we aim to manage and reduce the spread of illness and infections. Your child should not come to school if he \/ she is not fully fit (see below \u2018Infection Control\u2019).\u00a0 However, we work collaboratively with the family to ensure a flexible approach to children with special health needs (e.g., asthma). If your child becomes unwell during the day, we will call you immediately. In emergency cases your child will be taken to our nearest hospital (see above under Safety), whilst contacting you.\u00a0 We have a \u2018chill space\u2019 in the Reception with one to one (1:1) supervision so your child can rest if necessary and whilst waiting for their parent to collect them.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

      Infection Control<\/span><\/h3>

      We ask families to let us know if their child is sick and not coming to school. This\u00a0 allows us to monitor outbreaks and respond as appropriate.\u00a0 For example, if there are a number of cases, we will take special precautions like taking temperatures on arrival, disinfecting specific areas and \/ or materials.\u00a0 Please follow the below guidelines :\u00a0<\/p>

      \u2022 Our COVID-19 policy requires wearing of masks at all times, and regular wash-ing of hands. An ATK kit is to be used every Monday for each student with photograph of result sent to KKIPS before arriving at school. As of January 2023, we may relax these regulations with the reduction in cases, locally and globally.<\/p>

      \u2022 After a fever, a child\u2019s temperature must be normal (98.6 Fahrenheit \/ 37 Celsius) for 24 hours before returning to school.<\/p>

      \u2022 If antibiotics are prescribed, a child must be on them 48 hours before return-ing.<\/p>

      \u2022 If your child requires medication at school, we need you to email us with written instructions for our focal point person to administer the medication. Medications must be labelled with your child\u2019s name; they are kept out of reach in the refrigerator.<\/p>

      \u2022 An unidentified rash, blister (e.g., hand, foot, mouth disease), chicken pox, or pink eye requires exclusion.<\/p>

      \u2022 Chicken Pox: Your child may not return to school until after the sixth day of the onset of the rash.; the lesions must be dry and crusted.<\/p>

      \u2022 Pink Eye: Your child should have been taking antibiotic at least 48 hours before returning to school or their eyes have returned to normal.<\/p>

      \u2022 Vomiting and Diarrhea requires a 24-hour exclusion after the symptoms have stopped (e.g., approximately 48 hours).<\/p>

      \u2022 Contagious illnesses must be reported to us as soon as confirmed (e.g., after visit to the doctor \/ hospital) so we can let other families know what to look for in their child (names of the infected child \/ family will not be shared).\u00a0 We require notification of all illnesses including those highlighted above (hand, foot and mouth; chicken pox, pink eye, diarrhea, vomiting) and strep throat, pneumonia, head lice, measles, hepatitis, scarlet fever and flu.<\/p>

      \u2022 If you child is coughing and \/ or sneezing excessively he \/ she is likely to feel unwell and be reluctant to attend; home is the best place with plenty of cuddles and fluids.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

      Safety and Security<\/span><\/h3>

      We have various systems in place to ensure your child\u2019s safety. He \/ she is closely monitored throughout the day under the direct supervision of the Lead Teacher or Assistant Teacher. Children are never left on their own. We have systems in place to manage and report accidents (e.g., falling over, child to child contact) and all staff have basic First Aid knowledge (e.g., recognising symptoms). The Accident and\u00a0 Incident focal point person supervises minor remedial treatments (e.g., cleaning wound, taking temperature) and reports to family. The focal point is a certified First Aider. If you child is involved in a serious accident or incident we telephone you immediately and if necessary transport them to our nearest hospital (Nakorn Mae- Sot International). We have been inspected by Mae Sot Fire Department and follow their advice in terms of prevention and emergencies which includes a focal point person who manages regular fire drills and ensures equipment is maintained (e.g., fire extinguishers, kitchen fire blanket). We also conduct annual fire and safety drills supervised by local Fire Brigade. Access to the kitchen is strictly managed; children are only allowed to enter the kitchen in small groups for food preparation and\u00a0 cooking classes. We have CCTV in all areas of the two buildings; it is used to review accidents and incidents as well as out of our security. We reserve the right to main-tain all data recorded in the CCTV system. Families are responsible for maintaining the safety of their children when they are outside the school compound (e.g., on the road at the beginning and end of each school day).\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

      Non-Discrimination<\/span><\/h3>

      We do not treat children differently or discriminate according to their colour, creed, nationality, gender, ethnicity, religion, gender or disability. We teach children to know about and respect difference and to support those from differ-ent backgrounds and circumstances.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

      Special Education Needs (SEN)<\/span><\/h3>

      Although we see each child and family as unique (e.g., special) some children need additional support if they are to achieve their full potential. We welcome children with specific needs (e.g., delayed development, autism). If you know or suspects your child has additional needs, or you are worried about any aspect of his\/her development, please discuss this with us at the time of registration so that we can assess their needs and work closely with you and other professionals to help your child to grow and learn.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

      Confidentiality<\/span><\/h3>

      All records and information relating to you and your child are shared internally with teachers on a \u2018need to know\u2019 basis. If we are asked to share information (e.g., with ministry officials), we always obtain your written permission. We expect families to adhere to this principle and to respect the privacy and confidentiality of other children and families. Families need to adhere to this principle outside the school and on social media (i.e., personal names, family details, photographs).\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

      Families as Partners<\/span><\/h3>

      It is essential that families work with us as partners; this means that we want families to know and understand what we do and why we do it so that they can replicate and reinforce at home.\u00a0 We use \u2018families\u2019 as opposed to \u2018parents\u2019 because we understand that grandparents and other significant care givers (e.g., nanny)\u00a0 provide some of the everyday support in the home.\u00a0<\/p>

      In order to do this, we communicate and collaborate in various ways :<\/span><\/p>

      \u2022 Application and Registration Forms provide us with the information to get to know your child in depth\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

      \u2022 Open days for new families (twice per year) \u2022 Orientation for new families (includes expectations and family responsibilities) \u2022 Daily updates via social media (FB : English Club, Line ID : kk-englishclub)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
