Confident Learners Ready for Primary School and Beyond
Home / Pre-School Levels / Kindergarten
Kindergarten is an exciting milestone where children bring together everything they have learned throughout their pre-school journey. They become more confident, independent and capable of taking ownership of their learning while developing the resilience and adaptability needed for Primary School.
At Cambridge Pre-school, our Kindergarten programme prepares children not only for Primary 1 but also for lifelong learning. Guided by Singapore’s Nurturing Early Learners (NEL) Framework and enriched by our award-winning iSTEAM curriculum, children develop the knowledge, skills and dispositions to thrive academically, socially and emotionally.
Rather than simply memorising facts, children are encouraged to ask questions, investigate ideas, communicate confidently and solve real-world problems through meaningful learning experiences.
As children prepare for Primary School, they are encouraged to take greater ownership of their learning and daily responsibilities.
Our educators guide children to:
• Organise their belongings independently
• Manage classroom routines confidently
• Follow multi-step instructions
• Complete tasks with increasing independence
• Persevere when faced with challenges
These everyday experiences help children develop responsibility, self-management and confidence as they prepare for the greater independence expected in Primary School.
Children continue strengthening their language and communication skills by expressing ideas clearly, sharing opinions and engaging in meaningful conversations.
Through storytelling, presentations, collaborative discussions and inquiry projects, children learn to:
Strong communication skills help children participate confidently both inside and outside the classroom.
Kindergarten children are naturally curious and increasingly capable of reasoning through more complex ideas.
Through our inquiry-based iSTEAM experiences, children investigate questions, test ideas and explore different solutions using observations, experimentation and reflection.
These learning experiences encourage children to:
Rather than providing answers, our educators guide children to become independent thinkers who enjoy discovering solutions for themselves.
Children continue strengthening their literacy and numeracy skills through meaningful and engaging learning experiences that prepare them for the transition into Primary School.
They develop greater confidence in:
Learning remains enjoyable, purposeful and connected to real-life experiences, helping children develop a positive attitude towards learning.
Academic knowledge alone is not enough for success.
Our Kindergarten programme places equal emphasis on helping children develop the values, attitudes and learning dispositions that support lifelong learning.
Children are encouraged to:
These qualities help children become confident learners who are ready to embrace future challenges.
By the end of Kindergarten, children have developed far more than academic knowledge.
They are equipped with the confidence, curiosity and independence to embrace new learning experiences while building positive relationships with teachers and classmates.
Most importantly, they leave Cambridge Pre-school with a genuine love for learning that will continue to support them throughout Primary School and beyond.
Our Kindergarten programme combines the best of Singapore’s NEL Framework with Cambridge’s award-winning iSTEAM approach to provide a balanced education that nurtures the whole child.
Children graduate with:
• Strong literacy and numeracy foundations
• Confidence to communicate and participate actively
• Critical thinking and problem-solving skills
• Curiosity and creativity through inquiry-based learning
• Positive values, resilience and responsibility
• Readiness for Primary School and lifelong learning
Choosing the right Kindergarten is about more than preparing your child for Primary School. It is about giving them the confidence, curiosity and skills to become lifelong learners.
