Our Educational Philosophy
We believe that every child learns best through active integrated engagements and purposeful play in a caring and conducive environment. In this, we believe that the provision of concrete learning materials and the appropriate environment is of utmost important. We also believe that our children must enjoy the needful agency to explore and construct meaning of their experiences from their situated and experiential learning episodes as supported by their teachers.
It is our vision is to be a quality childcare centre that provides this quality integrated programme for the holistic and wholesome development of our children.
Our educational approaches
We adopt the principles of the Early Years Development Framework (EYDF) and Nurturing Early Learners (NEL) Curriculum Framework by our Singapore Ministry of Education (MOE), as the backbone of our integrated programme to harness the holistic developments of our children.
Our integrated programme includes a myriad of different learning experiences to cater towards our children's multi-sensorial and experiential learning, and multi-intelligence developments. Through our programme, we also harness the quintessential 21st century skills development in our children such as critical thinking skills, decision making, creativity, problem-solving skills and collaboration.
