At Little Skool-House, we have a network of centres, with 14 centres operating under the Partner Operator (POP) scheme governed by ECDA. This initiative aims to enhance accessibility, affordability, and quality of childcare services for working parents.

Besides our consistent core curriculum and teaching approach, our 6 non-POP centres offer supplementary enriching programmes such as music, sports, and our exclusive REACH (Read Chinese at Home) programme. The REACH programme provides weekly take-home books and accompanying audio guides for learning support at home, empowering parents to be more involved in their child’s education. These centres also boast superior facilities for a comfortable and stimulating environment. Parents are also able to chat real-time with our teachers and be updated on their child’s progress via our Parent App. Additionally, these centres maintain a lower teacher-child ratio for more individualised attention.

The Little Skool-House By-The-Vista offers the following curriculum:

• The Relationships-Based Curriculum for Infant to Nursery 1
• The International Baccalaureate ® (IB) Primary Years Programme (Early Years) curriculum for Nursery 2 to Kindergarten 2.

To this end, the organization works with schools, governments and international organizations to develop challenging programmes of international education and rigorous assessment.

These programmes encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right.

The aim for the IB programme is to develop international minded people who recognise their common humanity and shared guardianship of the planet, and help to create a better and more peaceful world.

The IB PYP prepares children to be active participants in their lifelong learning journey. It focuses on the development of the whole child as an inquirer both in the classroom and in the world outside.

The curriculum structure strives for a balance between the search for understanding, the acquisition of essential knowledge and skills, the development of positive dispositions, and the opportunity for positive action.

Our Mission
The Little Skool-House By-The-Vista partners families to fulfil the promise of each child, by enabling every child to have a good start in life. We aim to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people through our rigorous and challenging programmes. These programmes will encourage children to be active and compassionate, making the world a better and more peaceful place through intercultural understanding and respect.

Our Vision
We nurture and support each child to fulfil his or her potential to make a difference in this ever-changing world.

Our Teachers create possibilities for children’s learning.

Our Principals provide effective educational leadership.

Our Curriculum uses stories as catalyst emphasizes bilingualism and promotes contextualized learning.

Our Learning Environment promotes a sense of belonging, independent learning and social development.

Our Parents partner in our child’s development based on mutual trust and respect. We set out standards against international benchmarks.

The framework emphasizes the central principle of agency, which underpins the three pillars of school life:

• The Learner
• Learning and Teaching
• The Learning Community

It is believed that our children are agents for their own and others’ learning. Learners with agency have the following mindset and traits:

• To have voice, choice, ownership and propensity to take action.
• To influence and directly learn
• To contribute to, and participate in the learning community

The sense of Agency is a mindset not a skill, and as such it cannot be measured.
