Kinderland Academy & Preschools in Singapore

Since 1978, Kinderland has been nurturing children aged two months to six years with quality infant care and bilingual preschool education. Central to the approach is a strong emphasis on its music-infused curriculum. The preschool says research has proven that instrument musical training enhances language literacy and fosters cognitive development in young children. Kinderland children benefit from participating in a variety of music-infused programmes. The preschool marching band, music and keyboard classes, and music are infused into lessons in bilingual literacy, KinderFit, Coding, A-Z Character Building, and STREAM (Science, Technology, Reading & wRiting, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics). These programmes can significantly improve children’s self-confidence and teamwork skills.

All Kinderland centres offer a plethora of programmes tailored for holistic child development. Moreover, Kinderland Academy @ Yio Chu Kang and Kinderland Preschool @ Marine Parade offer Singapore’s first and only preschool marching bands. Additionally, Kinderland children can participate in public performances. In 2024, they performed in stage ensembles and pianica ensembles in National Day celebrations attended by politicians and members of public at Paya Lebar, Joo Chiat, Kreta Ayer, Hougang, and more.

Complementing the music-infused curriculum is Literacy Through IT. This literacy programme is specifically designed to teach preschoolers to write before learning to read. It boosts preschoolers’ confidence, stimulates interest in learning new words, and enhances their literacy and creative writing skills.

Their STREAM programme enables children to engage in exploration, active participation and inquiry-based project work. Additionally, its cardio-wellness programme incorporating KinderFit helps maintain children’s physical health while also developing their basic motor skills and cardio-wellness.

Kinderland also places importance on character development for children’s holistic growth, nurturing this through various initiatives and collaborations with various charities and humanitarian organisations. These projects aim to instil empathy from a young age, cultivate a habit of contributing to society, and heighten social-emotional awareness.

There are 15 Kinderland locations island-wide.

Whistle Woods Schoolhouse

Whistle Woods Schoolhouse is a brand-new boutique preschool, located on the doorstep of Bukit Timah Nature Reserve. The school opened in May 2025 with an environment that’s designed and tailored for early childhood needs. Its curriculum blends Waldorf and Montessori philosophies, focusing on ‘whole person’ development through nature-based and hands-on learning. One of its standout features is the all-weather outdoor play in the nature reserve. Children have access to weather-appropriate gear for their nature walks and exploration in both rain or shine, nurturing resilience and a love for the outdoors.

The newly opened preschool says it offers a progressive, close-knit learning environment with a low student-to-teacher ratio. It also provides nutritious, globally-inspired meals for diverse appetites. As an example of putting values into action, children will learn to wipe tables or wash up their own tableware after meal times. Throughout the school, high-quality and natural materials are used for playing and learning, which include Stockmar beeswax crayons and plant-based paint.

At its recent Open House, parents explored the bright and well-ventilated space, met educators and experienced signature activities firsthand. There was also a Mother’s Day Workshop and a Midsummer celebration, where mothers and children participated in creative bonding activities such as making flower crafts. Regular events like these highlight their strong community spirit and commitment to nurturing meaningful home-school partnerships.

My Little Kingdom

My Little Kingdom (MLK) is a Singapore school that places emphasis on a child’s holistic growth. As children engage in programmes and activities designed to cultivate well-rounded individuals, they develop qualities such as compassion, resilience, empathy and intellect.

MLK’s curriculum is based on the all-encompassing principles of the Theory of Multiple Intelligences by Howard Gardner. This approach recognises eight distinct intelligences in an individual, based on a child’s natural ability and inclination. This aligns with the school’s belief that each child is unique with their talent. Some are good with language, others have a good ear for music and some display people skills. Educators at MLK provide personalised support and guidance for each child to excel in their individual way. This empowers the child to overcome obstacles and reach their full potential, while laying the cornerstone for a lifetime of growth and development.

The school holds annual events that involve families, such as Chinese New Year celebrations, Sports Day and the Year-End Concert. Highlights are shared on Instagram, Facebook and TikTok.
