The motivation behind the founding of White Lodge was simple yet profoundly inspirational; born out of a determination to improve the standard of early childhood education in Singapore. At its inception, the preschool had only 3 students and 2 teachers. Today, White Lodge prides itself as being one of the sought-after early learning providers with a total enrolment of more than 10,000 children to date.
White Lodge is an international child care centre offering a child-centred learning environment that facilitates active learning, involvement and discovery through a hands-on approach for children aged 18 months to 6.5 years. White Lodge is a strong believer that children ought to experience learning as an adventure - one that inspires and encourages the development of their imagination.
