As a parent, you only want what's best for your child, especially when it comes to building their foundational skills.
Preschools can not only develop their communication, problem-solving abilities, and social and physical skills, but also create a positive association with learning needed to become lifelong learners.
We're here to share our top picks for the best preschools in Pasir Ris for your young learner.
Read on below to learn more about each shortlisted centre and determine which one's the right choice for your family.
- My Little Campus
In order to prepare students for Singapore's competitive formal education, My Little Campus follows a comprehensive preschool curriculum that focuses on all-around development in Maths, English, and Mandarin.
The preschool believes that there's more to education than getting straight A's. This is why they also focus on cultivating children's moral values, independence, confidence, social skills, and empathy towards other people.
There's also a strong emphasis on nurturing bilingualism at a young age, with the goal of helping children achieve true mastery of both the English and Mandarin languages earlier than most students.
My Little Campus preschools are located in Bedok, Canberra, Sembawang, and Yishun.
- Maple Bear Singapore
True to the Canadian standard of education, Maple Bear nurtures students to be curious, confident, creative and independent.
From childcare to preschool, free play is a critical component across all its programmes, emphasising the need for children to play, explore, and experience whether on their own or with their peers.
Every activity and experience is play-based, whether the children are discovering the alphabet for the first time or learning how to read and write. Every knowledge earned and skill acquired is done so through play.
Additionally, to help develop children's competence in English and Mandarin, the preschool follows the immersion method where students learn to listen, speak, read, and write in these languages by surrounding them with conversation and instructions in the same language.
- MindChamps
MindChamps is one of the most prominent early childhood education brands in Singapore, so it's no surprise that they're consistently a top choice for most parents, locals and expats alike.
There's more to this preschool than its accessible and strategically located branches, though.
Pedagogy-wise, MindChamps is more focused on how children learn over what children learn, which introduces young learners to unique ways of acquiring and processing new knowledge and information.
This type of approach also encourages children to learn, explore, and experience in the best way that suits them and at their own pace. When children don't feel pressured to learn, that's when a positive association with learning happens.
Many parents also appreciate that they provide child psychology and counselling for students who may be having a hard time adjusting to school.
- Little Footprints
Little Footprints makes their preschool programmes accessible to more families by having affordable fees, much to the delight of parents in and around the area.
As an ECDA-accredited Partner Operator, families who enrol here can enjoy subsidised fees, helping them defray the cost of early childhood education.
Their primary focus is preparing children for the first phase of Singapore's rigorous formal education by building each student's confidence to face challenges that may arise in their own educational journeys.
At the centre of its preschool curriculum is community engagement and awareness, environmental education, and character development, moulding children to become valuable members of their community and the world at large.
Little Footprints has 50 centres located all over Singapore, as of writing.
