Tender Minds Preschool is reflective of a clear and simple mission: to spark a love of learning from an early age and encourage children on a lifelong journey in education that inspires and fuels their minds. Through a strong core curriculum, focus on interpersonal relationships and well-designed learning spaces, children get to learn, grow, play and become their best selves within a safe and nurturing environment. The focus is on supporting and celebrating children’s progress.
The facilities are designed to complement its holistic learning programmes, with plenty of natural light streaming in. It has spaces catering to different age groups and generous outdoor areas featuring children’s pool, playground, real trees and grass. The design encourages children to transition from one learning area to another several times a day, extending children’s focus with a wide variety of interactive educational resources, developmental toys and indoor active spaces for in-room physical activities.
At Tender Minds, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to learning. It harmonizes the very best teaching practices to truly bring out the best potential in each child. The curriculum supports the notion of diverse yet structured learning experiences for children. Children here learn by forming, scaffolding and connecting interrelated educational concepts. They benefit from being stimulated with a broad array of activities integrating skills of numeracy, literacy, language, early science concepts, art, music, practical life, and fine and gross motor movement. The programmes progressively prepare children ready for the milestone of reaching primary school, while tapping on the educational value of play learning.
Children are encouraged to work together and enjoy the company of their peers and respect their teachers. Gradually, they will master the ability to listen, understand and connect with others, and over time, they will be able to take leadership under different situations. Different sensory and physical experiences including enjoying the sunshine in outdoor play areas allow children to nurture a healthy connection between their bodies and mind, and food and motion. Everyday teaching practices instill valuable skills including independence, confidence, positive self-esteem, self-regulation, honesty and compassion in children to build a healthy growth mindset. These are especially important in preparing children for big school later in life.
Class sizes never go beyond fifteen children at a time to attain optimal achievement outcomes and ensure all programmes are operationally at their best. This setting allows children to engage in activities appropriately and cooperatively, and at the same time, allows teachers to individually interact with each child. Full-day services including daycare, after-school activities and meals are also available, making it easier for families to make the most of the hours spent in school.
Families who turn to Tender Minds will find a place to create a strong beginning to their children’s education as well as a foundation to secure success in the future.
