CYCLE 1 : FIRST LEARNING CYCLE
At EFIK, children can be enrolled in kindergarten starting at the age of 2 years.
For children aged 2 to 3, we provide the option of half-day preschool sessions (from 8:30 a.m. to 12 p.m.) instead of full days (from 8:30 a.m. to 3:15 p.m.) if parents wish to gradually introduce their children to the school system.
