A Curriculum That Nurtures the Whole Child
🌟 Our Curriculum
Where Japanese Values Meet Global ExcellenceAt Combi Plaza, we have spent over a decade refining an approach to early learning that honour what matters most: the whole child.Our proprietary CPIPS Programme combines the International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC) — one of the world's most respected early years frameworks — with the Japanese educational values of discipline, respect, and mindful living. The result is a curriculum unlike anything else available in Phnom Penh.
Three Pillars of the CPIPS Programme
Our original curriculum at Combi Plaza emphasizes three essential pillars for raising future global citizens.
1. Moral Education — Building Character from Day One
At Combi Plaza, we believe that academic ability means little without character. From their very first day, children learn to distinguish right from wrong, to respect others, and to act with integrity — values that will serve them far beyond the classroom.
2. Dietary Education — Raising Healthy, Mindful Eaters
AWe don't just serve nutritious meals — we teach children why food matters. Through daily mealtime routines, children develop healthy eating habits, practice table manners, and build a positive relationship with food that lasts a lifetime.
3. Environmental Education — Nurturing Tomorrow's Stewards
Children who connect with nature grow into adults who protect it. Our environmental curriculum uses hands-on activities — from garden learning to recycling projects — to develop respect and responsibility for our natural world.
Preparing Children for a Global Future
At Combi Plaza, we blend the discipline and mindfulness of Japanese education with a forward-thinking international outlook. Our goal is to empower children with the skills, values, and awareness they need to thrive in a diverse and interconnected world.
Enriched Learning Experiences
In addition to our core curriculum, children at Combi Plaza benefit from a wide range of engaging and developmentally appropriate activities:
-
Physical Education – Promoting movement, coordination, and physical well-being.
-
Music & Art – Stimulating creativity, emotional expression, and cognitive development.
-
Healthy Living Habits – Teaching routines and behaviors that support lifelong wellness.
-
Safe & Hygienic Environment – Ensuring strict hygiene control and a secure space for every child.
Our Philosophy: Balanced Growth for Every Child
At Combi Plaza, we believe that children, like fruit trees, flourish when nurtured with the right balance of ingredients sunlight, water, nutrients, and care. In the same way, children need a balanced environment filled with love, learning, and support to grow into happy, healthy, and valuable members of society.
A Strong Foundation in Early Childhood Education
A child’s future is shaped by the foundation laid during early childhood. Our kindergarten acts as a miniature society, offering a rich blend of experiences and curriculum that foster positive character development and prepare children for lifelong success.
The Power of Balance in Learning
Balanced learning experiences are essential. Children need the right teaching at the right time. As they grow, their needs change and our educators adapt to ensure every child receives age-appropriate support that nurtures both academic and emotional development.
Role Models Matter: Teaching by Example
Children naturally imitate the behavior of those closest to them parents, teachers, and caregivers. At Combi Plaza, we emphasize the importance of positive role modeling. Our staff lead by example, demonstrating kindness, respect, and integrity in every interaction.
Why Human Connection Is at the Heart of Everything We Do
Research consistently shows that children learn language, social skills, and emotional intelligence through face-to-face interaction — not screens. At Combi Plaza, every classroom is designed to maximise interaction: between children, between child and teacher, and between learning and real life.Our educators are trained to be responsive, observant, and warm — adapting to each child's pace, curiosity, and needs every single day.
