Inquiring Through Play and Investigations
With the focus on giving children opportunities to learn through play and investigation, our Inquiring Minds curriculum taps into purposeful play during the early years and progresses to guided inquiry-based learning for the preschool years.
The inquiry-based approach encourages children to be curious and seek to explore relevant topics that are of interest to them, providing the opportunity for children to ask questions and share ideas.
Early Years (Infant Care, Playgroup & Pre-Nursery)
During the early years from Infant Care to Playgroup and Pre-Nursery, children engage in inquiry naturally through play. Play serves as a vehicle for exploration, experimentation, and discovery. By touching and feeling objects around them, interacting with peers, and exploring their environment, young children develop foundational cognitive, social, and emotional skills.
Preschool Years (Nursery to Kindergarten 2)
As children transition into the preschool years, the focus of inquiry evolves towards more structured investigations. Preschoolers demonstrate an increased capacity for focused exploration and questioning. Our educators leverage this curiosity by designing hands-on activities that encourage systematic inquiry.
Through guided investigations, children learn to formulate questions, make predictions, gather evidence, and draw conclusions. These experiences not only deepen their understanding of specific concepts but also cultivate essential skills such as problem-solving, communication, and collaboration.

Equal focus on English & Chinese Language
We acknowledge the importance of learning Chinese while cultivating the love for the language from an early age. It is crucial to build a strong foundation to help your children to enjoy and learn the language well as they go through the mainstream education system.
With that, our curriculum is designed to be bilingual with equal focus on both English and Chinese.

Caring for your children’s emotional well-being is pivotal in building their confidence and resilience.
Throughout the day, we dedicate pockets of time to introduce simple exercises that cultivate the habit of paying attention to emotional needs. This includes teaching children various strategies to find focus, calm down, show kindness and patience to themselves and others. These simple strategies will go a long way as children learn to apply them in real-life situations
