Classes

In our infant care programme, we provide a cosy and secure environment where you feel safe leaving your child.

We provide an environment for infants that is physically safe, cognitively challenging, and emotionally nurturing. Parents can feel safe leaving your child under

Besides meeting the infants and toddlers’ basic needs for food, attention and personal care, our caregivers are trained to engage them in sensorial experiences, develop their gross and fine motor skills, encourage their language and cognitive growth, as well as help them make social and emotional connections.

We are not just caring infants, but we are educaring them. We educate while we care, and we care while we educate. Our educare practices are 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.

At Playgroup (PG) level, we continue to develop the children’s cognitive, emotional, social and physical skills through the diverse activities and age-appropriate materials in a physical safe and conducive environment.

To plant the seeds of confidence and creativity in our toddlers, we provide opportunities for them to participate in aesthetic and creative programmes such as speech & drama, music and visual art activities.

Our toddlers will be introduced to early literacy through rhymes and stories, as well as Letterland, a unique and child-friendly phonics programme.

They will also start exploring early numeracy through fun and experiential learning activities.

At Pre-Nursery (PN), we continue to develop the children holistically through our focus on their sensory and motor, language, cognitive, and social skills as well as creative expression.

We build on children’s individual attributes and enrich their learning experiences through music & movement, creative visual art, stories, rhymes, games and manipulative toys.

Teachers guide and motivate our children in their first steps towards greater autonomy and independence.

There is also greater focus on phonics, reading, speaking, and skills and concepts learning due to the children’s increased competencies in language arts and numeracy.

‘Little Orators’ is introduced to further boost speaking and presenting skills and to build confidence.

The children are taught enhanced self-care skills where they are able to make their own beds and change their clothes and wear their shoes all by themselves.

We also aim to inculcate a sense of responsibility in them through daily tasks such as keeping their places neat and clearing their own plates without reminder from the teachers.

At Kindy 1 (K1), special attention is paid to the children’s social and emotional development as they display more autonomous and self-regulatory behaviours, and show their understanding of right and wrong, social norms and rules, and values and cultures.

Throughout all the disciplines in the K1 curriculum, our teachers will focus on helping our children to be more confident, to express their ideas and opinions well and to form lasting relationships with the people around them.

Our emphasis continues to be on developing the life skills, dispositions, and attitudes for success in life.

With our children’s increased capacity for acquiring knowledge, skills and concepts, the K1 curriculum promotes a balance of process-oriented and experience-centred learning.

To boost our children’s intellectual development and their natural quest for knowledge, we actively engage them with experiential learning – exploration, inquiry, analysis, critical thinking and discovery.

As part of their first steps in the preparation for primary school, our K1 children go through integrated literacy experiences that provide meaningful learning of phonics, vocabulary, reading and writing.

The curriculum continues to focus on confident speaking, with purposeful presentations conducted in class.

The children continue to learn more mathematical processes and concepts, and are introduced to Science and General Affairs that we deem essential for their academic development.

The Kindy 2 (K2) curriculum continues to advocate learning through fun, and to focus on our children’s social and emotional wellbeing in the learning process.

With increased social competence and emotional maturity, our children collaborate frequently on projects.

Whether individually or in groups, they can participate in purposeful exploration of ideas and concepts engage in creative and critical thinking and problem solving, and even conduct investigations and research.

Formal school preparation is intensified at K2.

At K2, our children would not only have made significant progress in their language and numeracy skills they would also develop a better understanding of the world around them, as well as acquire a greater appreciation of large-scale environmental and community issues.

At First Steps, our graduating K2 children will be independent, confident, self-motivated, articulate, inquisitive and creative individuals who are well equipped with the necessary life skills and attitudes to meet future challenges in school and in life.
