My children are growing up in a multiracia­l family setting so we wanted a school environmen­t where children from different cultural background­s can learn from each other. Our eldest daughter was in another preschool, but we felt that the cultural exposure and learning was not what we expected. When our offices shifted near One North in 2015, we decided to explore Learning Vision @ Solaris.

We were blown away by the conscious effort put into welcoming students of all cultural background­s. We were also impressed with how the school kept lines of communicat­ion constantly open. The teachers go out of their way to help first-timers adapt to the new environmen­t; Nainika had a blast on her first day. The teachers gave us detailed updates about her meals, naps, activities and even mood swings! Our children love the hands-on and discovery-based class structure. Nina loves conducting interviews during Chinese lessons, which allow her to grasp the language in a fun way.

A WORD FROM THE SCHOOL

At Learning Vision, the needs of children drive the teaching philosophy; teachers empower children’s competenci­es, develop their cognitive skills through group activities, and help them build on existing knowledge. The award-winning curriculum cultivates natural curiosity, and prepares children to learn and become innovators in the future.

WHAT’S NEW?

Solaris (Fusionopol­is) has embarked on creating a piazza that is more welcoming for families by including activities such as puzzles and blocks to allow parents to be part of their children’s learning journey. Reading materials and resources are also available for browsing.
