Time For School

As I am turning to 18mths soon, mummy has decided that it's time to look for a school for me to attend playgroup class. So she started her research online, getting feedback from friends and forum. And finally, she has shortlisted for 2 schools for me.

Zoo-phonics School, our guiding philosophy is to develop each child’s language ability to the fullest. We offer an integrated language arts programme that enhances the development of language skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing).
Our fun and unique programmes, together with our exciting cast of animals promote language awareness effectively. Our lessons are conducted amidst a “Zoo-ey” backdrop and setting, creating a perfect environment for your child’s daily language immersion programme. As we stimulate your child’s interest in learning through multi-sensorial play, stories and rhymes, he/she will also gain knowledge across the curriculum about mathematics, drama, art, music and movement, science and social studies.With our highly-acclaimed and award-wining Zoo-phonics methodology, watch your toddlers and young ones acquire language beyond their peers!

Toddlers Playgroup (ages 18-30 months)
2 hours per session (inclusive of 30 min Mandarin*);
2 times per week
To be accompanied by a parent/caregiver.

Mummy chosen this school as it is very near to Ah Ma's place, and convenient for her to send and fetch me, and also, there have been good review of the school, so mummy is planning for me to start by mid Oct or early Nov.

Next one will be : Schoolhouse by the Bay

Mummy will be submitting the form soon and put me on waitlist. For this school, I will be starting next year April or June. This is help to ease off Ah Ma's load as they do have transport service, and I can take school bus to school.

The Childcare programme is for children from 18 months to below 7 years of age. Our Kindergarten programme is for children from the ages 2 1/2 to below 7 years. The activity based programmes are designed to meet the developmental needs and interests of each young child.
Through a gap analysis based on the syllabus for Primary One in the local school system, we have clearly confirmed that our curriculum not only meets the entry criteria of the system but, in fact, goes beyond it in some areas. Therefore, your child will be fully prepared for a successful entry into the Singapore local school system.

By looking at the “whole” child as opposed to addressing academic skills only, we also give the child other important tools to ensure that they are fully prepared to cope with all aspects of their school life. We teach in a way that develops a love of learning by allowing children to explore and discover in the process of learning. While the teachers have a clear framework of goals and outcomes in their planning of the curriculum, under our child-directed learning model, the children will guide the teacher in the process of reaching the goals and outcomes. By allowing children to have input into the process as well as offering opportunities to use materials in a variety of ways, we are developing creative and critical thinkers.
