Planning for bilingual early childhood education doesn’t have to be overwhelming.

This course is your go-to guide for building weekly learning plans that respect how children actually learn—through play, connection, movement, and meaning. Whether you're in a PYP school, a bilingual preschool, or a play-based setting, you'll learn how to create structured-yet-flexible weekly flows that promote holistic development in both languages.

Grounded in child development and the Approaches to Learning from the IB framework, you’ll discover how to:

Integrate dual-language strategies naturally throughout the day

Design routines that build communication, cognitive, motor, and emotional skills

Create child-led experiences while meeting learning goals

Align your weekly plan with inquiry, not just content

You'll walk away with real examples, the Development-Driven Planning Toolkit, and the confidence to plan with intention, not just tasks.

🎯 Perfect for bilingual teachers, early years educators, and PYP practitioners looking to simplify their planning while deepening impact.
