Our Playgroup

Our Playgroup programme in Singapore is designed for children from the age of three, providing a nurturing environment where curiosity, creativity and independence can flourish. Our mixed-age classes of 12 to 18 children are supported by two English-speaking teachers, allowing us to give children individual attention while encouraging meaningful interaction with their peers.

Learning Through Curiosity and Play

At Playgroup, we build on children’s natural sense of wonder and curiosity about the world around them. Our play-based approach combines focused topics with both child-initiated exploration and teacher-supported learning.

Children learn by actively engaging with their environment, their teachers and one another. Through these experiences, they develop important cognitive and communication skills, imagination, independence and social-emotional competence.

A Rich Variety of Experiences

Our programme gives children many opportunities to discover, create and move. Activities and experiences include:

• Creative arts
• Music and movement
• Outdoor play, including playground and sand play
• Sports and physical activities
• Professional swimming lessons with AquaDucks

These varied experiences support children’s development while encouraging them to explore their interests and learn through doing.
