Curriculum

Our comprehensive, structured and interactive curriculum is built to develop our children’s social dispositions and help them acquire skills and knowledge.

Core Module

We equip our children and nurture their interest in core subjects of English, Mandarin and Mathematics.

Children build their literacy and communication skills through phonics, storytelling, reading, and interactive discussions. Our English lessons encourage creative expression and comprehension while expanding vocabulary through Montessori and various inquiry-based activities. Teachers guide children to communicate confidently and think critically, laying the groundwork for effective writing and reading fluency.

Through a Montessori and Inquiry-based approach, we teach numeracy to discover concepts such as numbers, patterns, and measurement. Our effective approach makes learning Mathematics engaging and enjoyable, helping children develop logical reasoning, problem-solving skills, and an early appreciation for numeracy that extends beyond the classroom.

In our bilingual environment, Chinese is taught through stories, rhymes, and interactive experiences that help children connect meaningfully with the language. With equal exposure to English and Chinese, our children develop strong listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. Lessons also include cultural elements to instil appreciation for traditions, values, and identity.

Physical development is an essential part of our preschool syllabus in Singapore. Through structured movement, obstacle courses, and outdoor play, children improve coordination, balance, and strength. Activities are designed to boost motor skills while fostering teamwork, sportsmanship, and a love for active living.

Music and movement are key to emotional expression and creativity. Children explore rhythm, melody, and performance through singing, dancing, and playing instruments. Our music and arts sessions promote confidence, concentration, and imagination, helping children express themselves freely in a joyful environment.

Enrichment Module

Our children enjoy a holistic curriculum that will develop their creativity and logical reasoning at the same time.

Children learn through hands-on exploration and experimentation, developing curiosity and a love for discovery. Guided by inquiry-based learning, they observe, question, and make connections to the world around them, encouraging critical thinking and problem-solving from a young age.

Through cooking and hands-on food preparation, children explore science, numeracy, and creativity in practical ways. These sessions encourage independence, teamwork, and fine motor skills as children learn about nutrition, safety, and responsibility in a fun, engaging environment.

Art is a powerful form of communication. Our Creative Artist module integrates literacy and the arts, encouraging children to express ideas visually and verbally. By combining storytelling with creative expression, children build imagination, focus, and appreciation for the visual arts.

This module deepens children’s understanding of Chinese language and culture through speech, drama, music, and traditional storytelling. It enhances linguistic skills while cultivating confidence in public speaking and performance, allowing children to embrace bilingualism with pride and enthusiasm.

Open Play Module

Driven by individual interest, our children will learn through meaningful and purposeful play to develop their motor and social skills.

Learning corners are part of the classroom set-up and contain specially planned activities based on the topic of Project Explorer. Children will work on activities at the learning corners in small groups or individually, while the teacher moves around the classroom to facilitate and also evaluate the children’s understanding of the topic, promoting self-regulation and collaborative learning.

Our outdoor spaces include playgrounds, obstacle courses, and water play areas designed to engage the senses. Whether splashing, climbing, or balancing, children strengthen physical coordination, teamwork, and confidence while having fun.

Yes. Our preschool syllabus in Singapore aligns with MOE’s Nurturing Early Learners (NEL) framework while going beyond it through bilingual immersion, inquiry-led projects, and enrichment programmes that extend children’s learning experiences.

Every class integrates both English and Chinese through daily lessons and activities. Children are guided by English and Chinese teachers who work together to ensure equal exposure to both languages, helping children develop bilingual fluency naturally through conversation, reading, and play.

All enrichment classes are included in the school fees and form part of our holistic approach. These include:

– Gourmet Chef (cookery and life skills)
– Creative Artist (art and literacy)
– Talented Performer (speech and drama)
– Project Explorer (science and discovery)

Our curriculum builds strong academic, social, and emotional readiness. Children graduate with confidence in literacy, numeracy, and bilingual communication, along with critical thinking, independence, and teamwork, ensuring a smooth transition into primary education.
