Started in 2014, First Steps Preschool is a leading Innovation-Focused school. It was conceptualized on the belief that children must be encouraged to discover new knowledge, rather than memorize information from books and school. Our curriculum prepares children to face future challenges and seize opportunities brought about by globalisation, modernisation and technological advancements.
Our curriculum for infants is strongly influenced by the philosophy of world-renowned child therapist and infant specialist, Magda Gerber from RIE™ USA and the insightful research of Hungarian paediatrician Dr Emmi Pikler from Pikler-Lóczy.
As they graduate to the early years, students get exposed to our researched-based curriculum, focused on intellectual learning. It is designed based on Ministry of Education’s (MOE) Framework for 21st Century Competencies, Nurture Young Learners (NEL) and Early Years Development Framework (EYDF).
To nurture the innovators of tomorrow.
By encouraging and developing imagination, creativity and out-of-box thinking for every child, while cultivating the right moral values, First Steps Preschool wants to play a part in shaping inspiring leaders for the next generation.
Taking a truly international approach to curriculum, we strive to become Singapore’s gold standard in Early Years Education and make quality education more accessible.
Considering other perspectives and worldviews helps us understand people better. It is the most important part of communication, without which, we are left disconnected from others outside our social circles.
We nurture the inherent curiosity of the child while encouraging them to question and learn. Good questions and smart debates are key to cultivating an expressive nature, aiding our children to compete at a global level.
Rote-learning skills and knowledge does not help us solve brand new problems. By teaching our children how to analyse situations and find solutions, we equip them to handle today’s fast moving, globalised environment.
This is the main difference between industry leaders and everyone else. We want students to think creatively to approach issues in practical ways. This helps put our students another level up.
