Mosaic Preschool
We’ve been living in Singapore for eight years (Done) and 14 years (Jason) respectively; both Olivia and Jack were born in Singapore.
Jack started at Mosaic Preschool Siglap in December 2023 at 18 months of age. Before that, he was at Mosaic Play Academy (MPA), which we had chosen due to its focus on immersive play.
We loved the teachers and approach of MPA, so we completed a visit to Mosaic Preschool at Siglap to assess the school. The teachers were very open and transparent, and focused on having a balance between play and learning. After the visit, we enrolled Jack.
The school structure is a house converted into a school. It feels very cosy with lots of natural light and a fresh interior with a welcoming design. There are great outdoor play areas for the kids that are utilised by the school as part of the curriculum.
We love that children are taken outside for an hour at the start of each day for play to develop gross motor skills and engage in nature.
The teachers are very well trained, warm and attentive to children and they communicate proactively. The school’s communication app is user-friendly and easy to use, ensuring good communication with parents.
We can visibly see the difference in Jack’s development – especially versus traditional preschools in Singapore. We definitely recommend Mosaic Preschool – the school and the teachers can be trusted!

We’ve been living in Singapore for 15 years (Alan) and 13 years (Albena) respectively, and our children are currently attending UWCSEA Dover. Both started when they were four years old in K1. This is Marko’s fifth year and he is in Grade 3 at the moment; it’s Kaia’s third year and she’s in Grade 1.
We chose UWCSEA as its nonprofit status reflects a commitment to education. Additionally, the unwavering commitment to sustainability and service holds great significance for us, as does UWCSEA’s dedication to providing opportunities for students from highneeds communities around the world through scholarships.
The diverse student body is aptly described as a mix of United Nations kids, an inclusive and globally representative environment. The thoughtful formation of diverse classrooms from K1 ensures a wellbalanced mix of nationalities, genders and personalities, providing our children with enriching opportunities to learn from those who are different from them.
The faculty is highly professional and remarkably kind. The curriculum, particularly in the Infant and Junior school, is excellent and regularly revised to adapt to our rapidly changing environment.
Our children are encouraged to serve both within the school and the broader community under Global Concerns. Notably, Kaia actively participates in a service where she plays board games with seniors at Lion Befrienders and sings songs for them.
The school community creates a wonderful environment for parents who enjoy participation in school. There are various activities such as tennis, basketball, walking groups and yoga available as well as opportunities for volunteering in class. The Parents’ Association organises numerous events, providing ample possibilities for fostering connections with other parents.
We wholeheartedly recommend UWCSEA to any family that values diversity, service, kindness, sustainability and community.
