OUR PROGRAMMES AT OUR PRESCHOOL IN KATONG

Whether you are searching for a playgroup, nursery, or kindergarten near Katong, our curriculum can provide a thoughtful transition at every stage.

PLAYGROUP
(Aged 18 to 30 Months)

Designed for toddlers, this stage focuses on social and motor development. Children establish comforting daily routines, foster their first friendships through guided sharing and turn-taking, and build vocabulary through rhymes and storytelling.

NURSERY 1
(Aged 3)

Our Nursery 1 curriculum builds early independence and introduces foundational academic concepts. Children develop sound awareness through phonics, explore numbers via the Concrete–Pictorial–Abstract (CPA) approach, and engage in inquiry-driven and play-based learning.

NURSERY 2
(Aged 4)

This year strengthens concentration and skills, and Nursery 2 students begin systematic phonics (Jolly Phonics) to build reading readiness, continue exploring numeracy concepts, and further develop critical thinking through hands-on project work.

KINDERGARTEN 1
(Aged 5)

Our K1 programme focuses on mastering the 42 letter sounds and deep conceptual mathematics (numbers up to 20). At the same time, we balance academic focus with social-emotional growth and exploration through thematic projects.

KINDERGARTEN 2
(Aged 6)

Dedicated to primary school preparation, the K2 curriculum culminates with our Primary 1 English Bridging Programme, alongside advanced thematic projects and ‘Show & Tell’ opportunities to strengthen public speaking confidence and academic rigour.
