ELFA Preschool

-

We’ve been in Singapore since September 2023. We found ELFA Preschool through an internet search. The school is only a 10-minute walk from our place. We took an appointmen­t and went to see it with Ayden. When we did the tour, he went into the arms of the teacher and had a good feeling for the teacher. He joined infant care in October 2023.

The teachers are kind, very profession­al and take the time to explain everything to the kids when they’re doing activities. For example, during celebratio­ns such as Chinese New Year, the school organises an event in school for the kids. The teachers will explain the event and celebrate with every kid.

We love the contact we have with every teacher and how they respect the child’s pace. Ayden is learning things by himself like eating, playing peacefully with others, and respecting the teachers and other kids.

The best thing is that because ELFA is a bilingual preschool, Ayden is learning English and Chinese at the same time.

The school uses the HAVParent app to update us about what’s happening at school like events or if our son is not well. They also send pictures of the activities they’re doing at school.

We’ve had a good experience with the school and recommend it especially for the kindness and love the teachers have for every kid.
