Infant Care
Our preschool curriculum begins even in the earliest years. At our River Valley centre, we provide a nurturing Infant Care programme that supports sensory exploration, emotional bonding, and holistic development in a safe, enriching environment.
(Infant Care is currently available only at our River Valley Preschool.)
Playgroup
Our preschool learning curriculum for Playgroup encourages exploration through language, movement, music, and creative play. With hands-on experiences and meaningful interactions, we help little ones build strong social and foundational skills.
Nursery
Our N2 curriculum supports child development and growing independence through storytelling, numeracy, and bilingual immersion. We scaffold learning to help children transition confidently into kindergarten while developing curiosity and a love for discovery.
Kindergarten
We prepare children for Primary One with a focus on confident communication, critical thinking, and bilingual fluency. As a preschool with science activities, our curriculum includes fun, inquiry-based learning like the Gourmet Lab to spark curiosity.
