Kindergarten 1 & 2 in Singapore
Kindergarten (5 to 6 years old)
As children enter the Kindergarten years, we continue to nurture their curiosity, independence, and confidence through our Reggio Emilia-inspired, Guided-Inquiry approach. At this stage, children begin to think more deeply, collaborate meaningfully, and express themselves with greater clarity.
We create a rich bilingual environment where learning is purposeful and connected to the world around them. Through child-led investigations, hands-on experiences, and project work, children explore topics that interest them while developing critical thinking, communication, and problem-solving skills. Natural and open-ended materials remain central to our environment, encouraging creativity and self-expression. Educators support each child’s learning journey by listening closely, asking meaningful questions, and guiding them to make sense of their experiences.
By fostering a strong sense of agency and belonging, we prepare children for the transition to primary school—equipping them not only with academic readiness, but also the curiosity, resilience, and love for learning that will last a lifetime.
Learning Environment in Singapore
We embrace the Reggio Emilia philosophy and Guided Inquiry approach, creating a learning environment that inspires children to explore and make meaningful connections to their own lives. We see children as capable constructors of knowledge, empowered to drive their own learning through curiosity, hands-on exploration, and thoughtful questioning.
Our carefully designed learning spaces act as the “third teacher,” intentionally crafted to provoke wonder, encourage exploration, and support deep engagement. The environment invites children to experiment, collaborate, and make discoveries, fostering their sense of independence and critical thinking.
By respecting the image of the child as an active participant in their own learning, we encourage them to take ownership of their experiences, build on their interests, and construct knowledge in ways that are meaningful to them. Our approach empowers children to develop a strong sense of self, curiosity, and confidence, helping them grow into lifelong learners who are eager to navigate the world around them.
Through this child-led environment, we ensure that each child feels empowered to discover, create, and learn in a way that reflects their unique perspectives and capabilities.
