Pre-primary education programmes in Belize correspond to the International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED) Level 0. These are programmes designed to promote children’s early cognitive, language, physical, social and emotional development in preparation for learning at the primary level. The programmes, while not highly structured, are organized around a set of purposeful, creative and play-based learning activities where children are guided to interact with other children, explore their surroundings, and engage in physical exercise and games. Basic alphabetical and mathematical concepts are also introduced at this level.
Pre-primary programs are two years in duration, but most children who attend preschool, only do so for the second year of the program. The minimum number of school days for pre-primary education programs is 180 days. The minimum hours of instructional time per day is three hours.
