MindChamps

PreSchool

-

We’ve been living in Singapore since 2012. Liam joined MindChamps PG class in March 2019, and he’s now in Nursery 1. I (Cindy) took my time to search and decide which preschool would be suitable for Liam when he was just 18 months. I found out about MindChamps, learnt about their history and what they focus on. I also read testimonia­ls from other parents on social media. From there, I decided that it would be the right place for Liam, and I do not regret the decision.

First of all, I had a good feeling when I first came to the school. The curriculum they use is suitable for Liam’s age and I love how they apply the S.M.I.L.E.S. approach, which stands for sensory, motor, intellectu­al, linguistic, and emotional and social. It’s not easy to keep children of this age excited! There’s a good combinatio­n of fun activities and learning, including songs, gym, dance, Chinese language, storytelli­ng as well as the teaching of patience, calmness, how to socialise, sharing between friends and being discipline­d in class. Bringing them together, it’s perfect for Liam. There are also excursions to parks, markets, aquariums and other places, which I think are good for children’s outdoor exploratio­n and added fun.

The teachers are very caring but also firm. They take their time at the end of each day to briefly share with us how our child’s behaviour has been. I appreciate it very much. There are many good teachers – I appreciate Liam’s teacher Miss Eunice Chan, plus Wu Lao Shi, Fan Lao Shi, He Lao Shi and others who’ve been involved in Liam’s education.
