Nursery Programme in Singapore
(30 Months – 4 Years Old)
For our children between 30 months to 4 years old, our Raffles Kidz Nursery programme provides a holistic and bilingual curriculum in a purposefully designed learning environment to cultivate lifelong learners with a thirst for knowledge and learning. During this age, motor skills, cognitive development and language are crucial to their development as they go from crawling to running, and babbling to sharing stories, in the years leading up to Kindergarten.
The Best Supportive & Stimulating Environment
It is important to provide a safe, supportive, and stimulating school environment for children’s continuing development. During the early years, children will grow rapidly in the five main areas of development: physical, cognitive, emotional and social, language, and motor skills. At Raffles Kidz, a multi-award-winning preschool in Singapore, we have created an age-appropriate and engaging nursery environment for them to explore and interact with their school peers, thus encouraging language development, building confidence, learning more about their feelings and developing friendships.
Nurturing & Caring Educators
Committed to developing the whole child, our qualified educators encourage children to be curious by providing opportunities for them to explore, investigate, and learn through active hands-on explorations. As such, our children are given the freedom to choose their activities based on their interests and needs, under the guidance of our educators in Singapore. Our well-trained educators at our school recognise that children at this age have a growing need for mobility and independence, so we guide them through daily routines to foster confidence and self-reliance, starting from nursery onwards.
Our Constructive Nursery Curriculum
Children in our preschool thrive in an environment where guidance and encouragement go hand in hand with purposeful learning. Our nursery programme is thoughtfully designed to support children aged two to four as they develop curiosity, independence, and confidence in their early learning journey.
At this stage of development, children aged 2 to 4 benefit the most from age-appropriate and constructive activities that support their physical, social, and cognitive growth. Our classrooms are supported by immersive programmes that combine Montessori principles with an inquiry-based approach, allowing children to explore ideas, ask questions, and discover new concepts through hands-on experiences. Through this balanced learning environment, children begin building the foundations for a lifelong love of learning.
Promoting Physical Growth
Active play is an important part of early childhood development. In our programme, children participate in a variety of movement-based activities that encourage coordination, strength, and confidence.
These activities include navigating an obstacle course, enjoying water play, and expressing themselves as they groove with music during guided movement sessions. Through these playful experiences, children develop body awareness, improve motor skills, and gain confidence in exploring their surroundings.
Developing Bonds & Friendships
Social development takes place naturally as children interact with their peers in shared spaces. Through our open-play module, children are given opportunities to engage in collaborative activities and imaginative play.
Within each learning corner, children learn how to share, cooperate, and communicate with others. These interactions help them develop empathy, understand emotions, and build meaningful friendships while learning to participate confidently in group settings.
Building Language & Cognitive Skills
Language and thinking skills are nurtured through activities that stimulate curiosity and creativity. Children are encouraged to develop a love for English while also building confidence in Chinese through songs, storytelling, and guided communication activities.
At the same time, our project explorer experiences introduce children to simple problem-solving and discovery-based learning. By exploring topics through discussion, observation, and hands-on activities, children gradually strengthen their language abilities, thinking skills, and confidence in expressing their ideas.
