Having 2 kids at MindChamps Performing Arts PreSchool @ Upper Thomson in the past year, I must say that it is truly an environment that allows my children to flourish and grow at their own pace.

For Janelle (ex-K2):
Switching Janelle to MindChamps at K2 was definitely the best decision I have made for her. The Core Modules have helped Janelle improve leaps and bounds academically, especially in her Chinese language. The school’s curriculum provided a strong foundation for her literacy and numeracy, which has helped her to cope in her Primary School work. Janelle loved the Performing Arts modules the most during her time here. The additional exposure to the Performing Arts has helped Janelle develop confidence and creativity, which has continued to benefit her in her Primary School journey. Despite having graduated, Janelle always speaks very fondly of everyone at her favourite Preschool.

For Meredith (N1):
Meredith has grown into an inquisitive and confident child in the past year. Meredith is shy by nature and takes a long time to adjust to new environments. Having the teachers greet us with warm and welcoming smiles every morning, Meredith did not have much issues easing into the school. She comes home singing her favourite nursery rhymes and sometimes shows us dance moves that she has learnt in school. Meredith enjoys going to school everyday and I believe this speaks volumes about the teachers and the environment at MCPAI Upper Thomson.
Thank you, Teachers, Specialist Teachers and Ms Laura, for providing a nurturing and enjoyable environment for my children!

Thank you to the entire MindChamps Performing Arts PreSchool @ Upper Thomson team – you truly embody the values and behaviours you stand for.

All teachers, support staff and the principal office have time and again gone above and beyond the call of duty to accompany our children on their learning journey.

The most beautiful compliment you can get is through the smiles of the children. When we see our girl eager to go to school and see her come back with a big smile it fills our heart with so much joy, love and gratitude for the team.

A big big thank you to all of you for being such an important part of their learning and growing up journey and preparing them to enter primary school next year. You rock!

All of the comments I’ve heard from parents of existing students at MindChamps Performing Arts PreSchool @ Upper Thomson were very positive. They all spoke favourably of the school, with consistent high regards for the quality of teachers.

Marcus never fail to speak excitedly about his learning experiences. He has learnt to read basic words and his ability to spell has also improved. He is confident to try to spell unfamiliar words. Given that Marcus does not use Mandarin often at home, I am also glad that he has not turned away from the language, and even initiates reading Chinese books at home. All this is attributed to the encouragement and dedication of the teachers who truly cares for the Champs.

MindChamps Performing Arts PreSchoolDefining the Champion in every child” – this phrase caught our attention when we were sourcing for a preschool for Yun An. We recognised the need for a strong foundation in preparation for primary school. After visiting several places, we decided to enrol her at MindChamps PreSchool Upper Thomson.

Over the past months, Yun An has grown to be more confident and she enjoys going to school to meet her best friends. We have also seen improvement in her academics especially in English as she uses the language more at home these days. She’s also happy with her teachers and would share her day with us.

We would like to express our gratitude and appreciation to her teachers for their patience and love in nurturing our daughter and all Champs under their care.

We are pleased with the education that Matthew received at MindChamps Performing Arts PreSchool @ Upper Thomson. He did not have to take any enrichment class outside of school, and has learnt a lot from the teachings in MindChamps. He has also developed good reading habits and the teachers really prepare them well for P1.

Academics aside, Matthew also befitted a lot in terms of character building. A big THANK YOU to the teachers for their patience and dedication in encouraging Matthew to be self-reflective when dealing with minor conflicts on his own. This has helped him build up his communication and interpersonal skills as well.

It’s been such a wonderful experience for my son and both my husband and I at MindChamps Performing Arts PreSchool @ Upper Thomson! 

Though my son was enrolled less than 6 months in his last year of preschool before the start of Primary 1 in the following year, we’ve seen so much progress in him academically as compared to the 2 years he was in another preschool.

The Principal, Teachers and Staff have been so helpful and accommodating to my son. They’ve been so kind and warm towards my son that both my husband and I felt so touched, grateful and appreciative for all that they’ve done. You truly feel the love and sincerity that they have towards the children there.

This preschool is really exceptional, not only have they been so accommodating, but they’ve also gone above and beyond to help my boy in his progress not only academically, but also intellectually. He’s grown to be more confident and has an undaunted attitude towards the start of Primary 1.

My son was so excited about going to his new Primary School, and it’s all thanks to the teachers and principal at his preschool who have prepared him well.

Despite our daughter being a transfer student in N1, the transition was beyond expectations. It was the best decision we ever made to enrol our daughter into MindChamps Performing Arts PreSchool @ Upper Thomson. We can tell she is truly happy in school. The school has a Vibrant & Warmth presence.

The teachers and team really have made her feel seen and cared for.

Their genuine care and concern for our daughter well-being have touched our heart.

She has also blossomed in speech, reading & arts! We were surprised that she enjoyed school so much!

Thank you to the Teachers and team at MindChamps Performing Arts PreSchool@ Upper Thomson for keeping the school clean, strict on their hygiene in which we can send our daughter to school at ease and making every day in your respective classrooms a memorable experience & providing a nurturing space where our daughter and the children can flourish academically, socially, and emotionally.

The Teachers and Team are remarkable educators and mentors!

I cannot recommend MindChamps Performing Arts PreSchool @ Upper Thomson enough for parents looking for a more engaging and nurturing environment for their little ones. My daughter enrolled there when she was 18 months old.

She was very shy, so teachers must have made a tremendous effort to make my daughter feel safe and secure there very quickly.

My daughter has developed many skills and learnt so much during her time at school, from eating and sleeping on her own, socialising with her peers, to learning her colours, shapes, and numbers etc in both English and Chinese.

The music, dance, and drama lessons at this preschool offer a great introduction for us to discover our daughter’s interests and talents. Mr Alim, Ms Misellya and Mr Nas did an amazing job to make these lessons so enjoyable.

The school also offers weekly reading program and monthly outing program, which we find very enriching and interesting. What sets this preschool apart, though, is the staff’s dedication to each child’s individual needs and personalities.

The PG class size is so small (teacher to student ratio is 2:6) that teachers take the time to get to know each child and tailor their care and education accordingly. My daughter adores her class teachers- Ms Nor & Lin Laoshi, who are both very passionate and responsive and understand my daughter’s needs perfectly. They communicate with us daily, providing updates and feedback that give us peace of mind and help us support our daughter’s development at home.

Overall, we are grateful to have found this school and its wonderful team. We feel confident and comfortable leaving our daughter in their care, and she loves going to school every day.
