About Our Curriculum

We provide a stimulating learning environment with creative, integrated and purposeful play experience for children with the aim of developing a child with strong moral values and a passion for learning.

We adopt an eclectic approach of teaching which comprises the various teaching methodologies such as the popular integrated thematic approach, Piaget’s hands-on learning, Vygotsky’s social learning as well as Reggio Emilia’s project-based, creative thinking and problem-solving approach.  As a church-based organization, we also emphasize the need to inculcate moral values and biblical truth in our young children.
