The Singaporean education system is recognised as one of the toughest in the world, along with places like Japan and South Korea. In order to prepare your child to face the challenges of academic life and beyond, you first need to nurture in them a love of lifelong learning.
Many parents consider MindChamps PreSchool to be the best nursery in Singapore to foster lifelong learning, and here are some reasons why.
Backed by Research
The curriculum and teaching philosophies adopted by MindChamps PreSchool are backed by extensive research from world-leading and award-winning experts in the fields of education, psychology, neuroscience and theatre.
We realise the importance of using evidence-based principles to guide how we formulate healthy learning strategies that unlock the full potential of the young minds under our purview. We therefore endeavour to encourage their natural sense of wonder and curiosity through games and other interactive activities, which will help nurture a lifelong love of learning.
The 3-Minds Approach
The MindChamps model for early learning is underscored by our 3-Minds Approach. Your child will be nurtured to develop a Learning Mind, Champion Mind and Creative Mind. Through this, they will be equipped with effective skills and strategies for learning that can be applicable no matter what stage they’re at.
The Learning Mind helps your child understand, store and recall information for a better grasp of different concepts, as well as how they’re interconnected. The Champion mind celebrates your child’s uniqueness and strengths, allowing them to build confidence and overcome challenges Finally, the Creative Mind encourages your child to explore multiple perspectives, using them to effectively solve problems, and generate new ideas.
A Holistic Methodology
Our care-giving philosophy doesn’t just focus on a child’s academic skills. Through our S.M.I.L.E.S methodology, we nurture and develop their Sensory, Motor, Intellectual, Linguistic, Emotional and Social skills, in an effort to provide a more holistic learning experience.
For example, our Enquiry Teaching and Learning™ approach, a core pillar of our preschool curriculum framework, enables us to encourage children to use their natural sense of curiosity to ask questions that will lead to more active engagement and a deeper understanding of the topics under study. This method of learning leverages the child’s own desire to acquire knowledge, leading to a lifelong enthusiasm to pick up new knowledge and concepts.
Learning Through Performing Arts
MindChamps offers specialised Performing Arts PreSchools, where drama, singing, music and dance are interwoven into lessons. These interactive classes and activities allow your child to develop key literacy, numeracy and socio-emotive skills, which in turn builds confidence and an affinity for self-expression.
This fun and hands-on approach to learning shapes children’s lifelong attitudes towards education, encouraging them to approach learning with creativity. It equips them with the skills to devise their own learning strategies, enhancing their ability to absorb, retain, and recall information effectively.
In Conclusion
Nursery aged children should be allowed to discover their world in a supportive environment. This will foster a healthier outlook towards learning and self development. At MindChamps, we believe in building a Champion Mindset, where values such as mutual respect, integrity, compassion and an abiding love for learning are inculcated early on to foster a healthy sense of self and world view.
