Our 4-6 year olds are focused on preparing for Primary School
We focus on areas of Academic Preparedness, Confident Bilingual Communication, Behaviour Maturity and eventually exposure to Big School Environment.
To enable a child to be ready for primary school, and ready for life, we believe in providing a strong academic foundation, as well as confident social and emotional development. Learning is integrated across six subject domains: Language & Literacy, Math, Science, Creativity, Physical Self and Social Development.
One of our focus elements is to enable a child to be Highly Proficient in both English and Mandarin. Our programme has enabled 93% of Little Skool-House children to achieve High Proficiency bilingually. Languages are made fun at the Little Skool-House by generating genuine interest through books, play, specialised learning and application.
Our highly trained educators are well versed in the methods and strategies of implementing Language and Literacy activities for preschoolers. Understand our unique approach to enable strong Mandarin Acquisition.

Primary School Formation Programme
A hallmark in our academic foundation is to cement the child’s learning in maths, sciences, and their ability to communicate through the following Primary School Formation Programme.
This instils critical thinking and problem-solving in Science and Math learning. And together with the Literacy skills acquired through the various fun activities, our curriculum builds confidence in language skills as children discuss, investigate, research, and report on various topics. Our kids are given the freedom to inquire about subject matters that intrigue them, such as ‘How the digestive system works’ and conduct an in-depth analysis of their queries with their classmates.
This is the key driver behind our preschoolers’ High Proficiency in Mandarin. The pedagogy is built on three pillars: solid language foundation (for example vocabulary, grammar, sentence structure), strong teacher training and mastery, and pedagogy for daily usage by the children to convey their own complex ideas.
This programme drives independent reading in line with the child's pace and capabilities. The child is first assessed individually on their Language and Literacy skills. The programme will then be adjusted accordingly for the maximisation of potential amongst our kindergarten students.
The curriculum that The Little Skool-House has developed for our 4-6-year olds is focused on preparing them for primary school and life. Language and Literacy activities and lessons that are conducted for our kindergarten students focus on academic preparedness, confident bilingual communication, behavioural maturity, and the development of strong social and emotional skills necessary in their transition to primary school. With language, numeracy and literacy made fun through the implementation of a range of activities, we aim for all our Little Skool-House preschoolers to thrive beyond kindergarten.
