Nursery 2 Programme

Orange Tree Preschool’s Nursery 2 programme is designed for 4-year-olds to gain confidence in bilingual learning, early numeracy, and social readiness for kindergarten.

Nursery 2 (N2) Programme in Singapore

By age 4, children are more communicative, observant, and ready to build on earlier experiences. This is the time when scaffolding becomes essential, supporting children as they move from simple imitation to more intentional learning.

Our Nursery 2 programme in Singapore focuses on helping children deepen their understanding of language, numbers, and social concepts through thematic learning and active engagement. Orange Tree Preschool’s N2 curriculum bridges the gap between early exploration and formal learning, giving children the tools they need to thrive in kindergarten.

The Importance of the Nursery 2 Year in Singapore’s Educational Landscape

Building Independence

At this stage, children begin to take initiative and make more choices on their own. We nurture this independence while teaching routines and responsibility.

Strengthening Bilingual Confidence

Children gain fluency and confidence in both English and Mandarin through structured language activities and immersion.

Pre-Academic Readiness

N2 provides foundational skills in numeracy, language, and problem-solving that are essential for success in K1 and Primary 1.

N2 Curriculum

The Transitional Triumph curriculum for Nursery 2 supports independence, communication, and emotional resilience through play-based, scaffolded learning.

We reinforce vocabulary, sentence construction, and comprehension in both languages through stories, discussions, and phonics games.

We guide children to work in groups, express emotions clearly, and handle peer interactions respectfully.

Children learn to count, sort, and compare through tactile learning tools and real-life scenarios.

Thematic units connect learning to real-world concepts and allow children to explore topics they’re naturally curious about.
