Curriculum and programmes

Overview

All MOE Kindergartens (MKs) offer the same curriculum and flagship programmes, and focus on:

• Holistic development.
• Integrated and active learning.
• Learning through purposeful play and quality interactions.
• Developing confidence and social skills.
• Building a good foundation in literacy and numeracy.
• Nurturing bilingualism in English and Mother Tongue Language (i.e. Chinese, Malay and Tamil languages).

Each MK customises learning activities, teaching resources and approaches, and classroom spaces based on their children’s needs and interests.

Curriculum goals

Our curriculum and programmes are based on the Nurturing Early Learners (NEL) Framework that guides the development of kindergarten programmes in Singapore.

At MK, we believe preschool children are curious, active and competent learners. They’re keen to make sense of the world around them, and they learn best through active learning.

We strive to make learning authentic and relevant for your child through activities with a distinctive Singapore flavour.

Each MK class comprises up to 20 children, divided into smaller groups for specific activities.

In place of giving workbooks or worksheets as homework, we encourage family-based learning activities that you and your child can engage in together. This will help you bond with your child and share the joy of their growth and learning.

Our programmes

Our curriculum comprises 2 flagship programmes, the HI-Light Programme and Starlight Literacy Programme for English and Mother Tongue Language (MTL). In addition, each term at MK will conclude in a Weeks of Wonder project.

Field trips

We organise occasional field trips to places of interest, so your child can better understand the people and places in Singapore, and the world they live in.
