A well-rounded curriculum that encompasses the Montessori, Thematic and National Preschool Approaches

The collective experience of the Wonder Minds’ team in educating children during their formative years has helped them develop a curriculum that focuses on both academic and life skills. It incorporates the best practices of the Montessori method, the thematic approach, and our very own national curriculum to promote the holistic development of children.

At Wonder Minds, children learn more than just the basics of reading and writing. The focus also lies in helping children strengthen their problem-solving, creative and critical thinking skills. This is done so by guiding them to extend their learning beyond the classroom with activities such as imaginative play, storytelling, movement games, singing, dancing, practical life exercises, simple science experiments, show and tell sessions, and sensory walks. The teachers are dedicated in creating varied educational experiences that uses purposeful play as a context for learning, so that children will be naturally motivated to explore and stretch their thinking to higher levels.

Wholesome programmes to serve children well in life

Wonder Minds Preschool offers the following programmes and services for children starting from the age of 3 months up to 6 years old:

Infant Care (3 – 18 months old)

In infant care, it is a top priority to make sure each baby feels loved and secure at all times. Parents can rest assured knowing that the nursery staff here are qualified nurses who are screened meticulously for that special motherly touch so that babies are more than comfortable around them. To give parents the greatest peace of mind, daily reports will be shared.

Toddler Care (18 – 36 months old)

Little ones at this age love to engage in movement tasks. As such, the teachers will ensure each activity is carried out with enthusiasm using a play-based Montessori approach for a fulfilling learning experience. Toddlers also enjoy crawling and walking around, therefore bright, spacious areas are set aside for them to go about their daily activities.

Preschool (3 – 6 years old)

Children in these age groups are mostly curious and always searching for answers to their never-ending questions. Hence, the teachers seek to stimulate children’s drive to explore and discover through active, hands-on learning activities. The emphasis also lies in shaping children into all-rounded individuals who are independent, creative, and works well with their peers – laying the foundation for school readiness.

After-school Care

The after-school programme goes beyond just caring. Routine wise, children have their regular meal and napping times. Besides that, children are assisted in their homework, with play time and activities in between to help stimulate their social, physical and intellectual abilities.
