Orange Tree Preschool River Valley – Bilingual Learning

Home > Locations > River Valley

Children are like little oranges. Bright, vibrant & full of life. We aspire to be the tree, providing children with the right nutrition & nursing them to grow protected & freely.

Whether your children are Continental oranges or Mandarin oranges, let us nurture them to the fullest & help them stand out among the crop.

In 2003, Tien Hsia Language School and Morris Allen English founded the first The Orange Tree Preschool at Simei Eastpoint Mall. Currently, The Orange Tree Preschool has 3 Centres and we are planning to expand further and open more centres.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Preschool in River Valley

What age groups are accepted at Orange Tree Preschool River Valley?

We welcome children from infancy up to 6 years old, covering a full suite of programmes: infant care, playgroup, nursery, and kindergarten. Our infant care in River Valley supports your child’s earliest developmental needs with warmth and gentle guidance. As they grow, they transition into structured, play-based learning in our PlaygroupNursery, and Kindergarten programmes, all tailored to nurture bilingual development.

How do I decide between the Choa Chu Kang and River Valley campuses?

Both our Choa Chu Kang and River Valley centres follow the same trusted curriculum, developed in collaboration with Tien Hsia Language School and Morris Allen English. If you’re choosing between them, you may wish to consider proximity, traffic flow during drop-off hours, and programme availability. No matter the location, you’ll find the same nurturing care and child-centred approach that defines Orange Tree Preschool.

Is the River Valley location accessible for daily commuting?

Yes, our River Valley preschool is ideally positioned for families working or living in the city. We’re a short walk from Fort Canning MRT (DT20) and Great World MRT (TE15), with multiple bus routes nearby. Whether you’re commuting from home or the office, daily drop-offs are smooth and convenient, ideal for working professionals and expat families.

How does your school support bilingual development?

Bilingualism is at the heart of our teaching philosophy. Our curriculum is anchored in immersive learning experiences, alternating Unique Language Days where English and Mandarin take turns as the primary medium of instruction. With strong language role models, children learn to switch confidently between languages.

What’s the student-to-teacher ratio like?

We maintain small class sizes across all levels—from infant care to kindergarten in River Valley—to ensure every child receives personalised attention. Our teachers take time to understand each child’s needs and build strong relationships with families. This allows us to nurture every child according to their pace of development, consistent with our belief that learning should always be fun, enjoyable, and child-centred.
