Mission and vision
At Nicosia Early Learning Center, we believe that early childhood is the most important time to nurture curiosity, confidence, and a love for learning. Inspired by our successful educational model in the United States, we have brought our passion for children and our innovative approach to Cyprus, creating a school that truly prepares children for a bright and balanced future.
Our goal is simple yet profound: to offer a well-rounded education that supports every aspect of a child’s development—academic, social, emotional, and physical—beginning from the earliest years.
What sets Nicosia ELC apart is our commitment to blending the best global practices with a local touch. We are proud to be a bilingual school, with English as a core focus and opportunities for children to be introduced to additional languages such as French and Spanish during special themed weeks—through the joyful lens of music, movement, and song.
We also believe in the power of play and physical activity. Our school features soccer, tennis, and a splash park, all designed to build children’s coordination, strength, and self-confidence while they enjoy being active and outdoors.
To foster curiosity and develop problem-solving skills, we place a strong emphasis on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). Children will have access to personalized learning tools and tablets, helping them engage in interactive, age-appropriate educational content that supports both independence and guided instruction.
At Nicosia ELC, nutrition is part of our mission to care for the whole child. All meals are included and thoughtfully crafted by a licensed nutritionist, with everything cooked fresh on site to ensure children receive the healthiest and most delicious food possible.
More than just a school, we are a community of educators, families, and children working together to build strong foundations for a lifetime of learning. We invite you to join us in shaping a new generation—curious, confident, multilingual, and ready to thrive in a global world.
