Other Activities

Apart from the usual daily programme, the preschool offers monthly flower arrangement and tea appreciation classes, to teach children good manners and decorum and to help them in character refinement. During every major festival, our teachers will involve the students in organising related activities to celebrate the occasion, allowing them to learn about and understand the cultures and customs of different races. 

The preschool also holds parent-child sports day and cooking classes, parents’ day activities, as well as organises volunteer work on Children’s Day, visits to the Zoo, the “Veggie Planet” programme, learning camps, etc. These extracurricular activities serve to enrich our students’ learning experiences and to help them cultivate a sense of gratitude and an interest to serve others

Healthy Meals & Snacks

We provide healthy and nutritious breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snack. To encourage an environment- and animal-friendly lifestyle, all the meals served are vegetarian. A balanced and healthy diet is crucial to the growth and development of young children. We provide delicious meals prepared with different grains, fruits, and vegetables to ensure adequate protein intake. Our menus are certified by the Health Promotion Board and follow the guidelines stated in the Healthy Meals in Preschools Programme (HMPP). Under the patient guidance of our teachers, many of our students gradually learn to love their greens. They are also taught not to be picky about food and not to be wasteful, for food does not come by easily.

Parents' Involvement

Home is a safe haven where a child is raised and nurtured, and school is an extension of home. We believe in an early childhood education with a three-way partnership between parents, children, and teachers.
