Nursery Programme

Designed for curious minds aged 3 to 4, our nursery programme nurtures independence, social development, and foundational skills in a warm, bilingual setting.

The Nursery Level Journey

Nursery 1 (N1)

Children build confidence through sensory play, early language experiences, music, and guided interaction, forming friendships and expressing themselves freely.

Nursery 2 (N2)

Our N2 curriculum deepens cognitive and social development through stories, bilingual literacy, numeracy, and inquiry-based learning that prepares them for the next step in their preschool journey.

A Thoughtfully Crafted Nursery Preschool Experience

Our nursery school in Singapore offers a child-centred environment where exploration, structured learning, and play come together. Guided by our trusted bilingual curriculum and ECDA-aligned framework, children develop essential life skills while strengthening language and numeracy foundations. Nurturing teachers support each child’s growth at their own pace, laying the groundwork for a smooth transition into kindergarten.

Joining OrangeTree Preschool (CCK) is one of the best decisions made for Mitchell thus far. A big THANK YOU to all the teachers and staffs who have shown genuine love and encouragement to Mitchell and US (parents). As first-time parents, parenting is a roller-coaster ride with lots of experimenting. We are thankful to Ms Hema, Teacher Jade, and Teacher Bo (plus all the teachers) for guiding us as first-time parents. The team is always ready to correct us and give us the “tips” to manage all the situations. Also special thanks to aunty who has whipped up a separate special menu for Mitchell until he outgrown his allergy of chicken and egg. OrangeTree Preschool (CCK) provides a safe environment and holistic program. From Playgroup to Kindergarten 2, the school has actively involved parents. The teachers are ultra dedicated and is always providing prompt feedback and suggestions to better support the child’s growth. We were moved to tears during the graduation as we witnessed the growth of Mitchell in both academics and most importantly soft skills. It is like a flashback of all the ups and downs we closely shared throughout the pre-school phase. The children look super adorable, and we are so… PROUD! OrangeTree Preschool (CCK) has built a strong foundation in preparing Mitchell. We are delighted to share that Mitchell has smoothly transitioned into Primary One. Thank you for everyone’s patience, kindness, enthusiasm towards our child! A big Thumbs Up! From forever grateful parents – Junwei & Adelene.

My child had attended Orange Tree Preschool since PG to K2 and I would very much recommend this preschool to anyone! The school's environment is conducive and definitely safe for the kids. It has outdoor playground and mini swimming pool within the compound for the kids to have fun without worrying about their safety to cross roads or be in the open public area. Teachers and staff are also attentive and caring. They will call the parents timely if anything arises. Parents are also well informed of any events. The teachers are skilled in teaching and coaching the kids to build their foundation in reading and writing, which really helped a lot for the kids to transit to primary school. Kudos to the Principal, teachers and staff of Orange Tree Preshool (Choa Chu Kang)!

It was an academy school who really teach children fundamentals. The teachers and principal are nice and professional. Environment is neat and clean, food is also not bad, overall it’s recommended. My elder kid graduated from the school and miss the school so much whenever mentioning about his kindergarten. Younger kid is in good progress, I can see the smile and happiness that motivation for daily attending. I am happy and lucky to make right choice of school for them.

We are truly blessed to be enrolled in the Orange Tree Preschool ( CCK) since Playgroup till the end of Kindergarten two:) We decided on the school after visiting quite a few other childcare centers as we were impressed by the bright, clean, organized environment and how cheerful the kids looked. Indeed, the school has been a vibrant, loving and fun learning place for my child and her classmates. Our child looks forward to going to school everyday and enjoys a loving, warm relationship with her teachers and classmates. There are very interesting and well conducted enrichment courses within school curriculum hours (our child especially loves the Artsy Bugsy classes and Speech and Drama ) as well as special holidays program in June and December ( Dance, robotics, Science, baking , yoga etc). My child also enjoys the monthly water play in their own private ankle height pool. Ms Hema, the Principal, is a gem and leads a superb team of teachers and staff. There is prompt update of curriculum, students’ well being and pictures of children and activities. Communication has always been forthcoming and prompt with the teachers and school management. The teachers have prepared my child well academically ( English curriculum is by Morris Allen, Chinese curriculum by Tian Hsia) and in her life skills ( e.g toilet training, self care, positive education). My child, Mikaela, loves her teachers, Teacher Jade and Bo Lao shi. We were fortunate that the school also has a very convenient school bus service and the School Bus Uncle and Auntie, Uncle Joe and Aunty Jenny, are so caring and patient with children. Aunty Jenny often sent us pictures and videos of our child on the school bus and she is really great with kids! Our child has enjoyed her 5 years with the Orange Tree Preschool immensely and truly misses Ms Hema, Teacher Jade, Bo lao shi, Liang lao shi, Yang lao shi, Teacher Emily, Zhao Laoshi, Sie Lao shi, Teacher Fit, Teacher Tan, Teacher Rachel, Teacher Pauline and many other teachers and staff.

I have a wonderful 9 years of having my 2 kids at the Orange Tree CCK Preschool. Teachers here have been very responsive and responsible. The environment is clean and has its own independent facilities within the compund, like plaground and pool. The school has very structured academic curriculums and interesting activities for the student. As parents, we were well informed about the child's learning progress and growth. Overall, the school has taught my 2 kids really well. Both my kids have no problem coping in primary school, be it academically or socially.

Superb school. Dedicated teachers and principal. Always looking after the needs of the children. rest assured my kids are in good hands. There’s Enrichment classes that you can sign up within the Sch hours which is great for exposure and for parents who are working and have no time to send their kids. They did a great job in preparing my girl for primary one and she is very independent and was super excited to start her new phase.
