Cambridge @ MACPHERSON

Cambridge @ MacPherson occupies two storeys of the building. The infant care is located on the ground floor together with our Music & Movement area and our unique iSTEAM playground which consists of LEGO Play, Sensory Play, Robotics, circuits and more. The 3rd floor is where the Toddler, Nursery and Kindergarten classes are conducted. The stimulating learning environment is filled with learning corners to guide and gear the young ones for their future.

Daily health check is done at the receiving area to ensure a healthy community. The health check details are sent via our Cambridge CommApp to each parent for traceability and accountability. Cubby holes are provided to keep shoes away for a clean environment. Specific information such as curriculum, daily meal menu, timetable and upcoming school events are visibly displayed on the green notice board for parents’ perusal.

The infant care is located on the left side of the entrance. We have an infant napping room, diaper changing area and safe infant activity areas for both mobile and non-mobile infants to cater to every infant's needs.

For infants who are learning to crawl or walk, our activity area is equipped with a well-cushioned holding bar, floor mats and mirror. The environment not only aids the infant in his/her next developmental milestone, but also supports the teacher's monitoring of their activities.

Once the infant is capable of moving around more independently, he/she will seek higher challenges which we cater for in the mobile area. The mobile area is tailored to leverage from the soft climbing blocks to train their gross motor skills.

The infant napping room is furnished with full-length day curtains and noise reducing material door to create a conducive sleeping environment. The area is air-conditioned and air purified daily.

Towards the far left is the Music & Movement area where we create future musicians and dancers. Children can dance and hone their musical talent as they explore readily available props and musical instruments inside the spacious area.

Innovation and creativity are vital components in the Cambridge curriculum. The LEGO wall play and table play are 2 areas where we allow the child's imagination without limitations.

Cambridge Pre-school's true differentiator is our iSTEAM (Innovation, Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Maths) curriculum, which uses the approach of experimental play to develop future skills such as problem solving, critical thinking, collaboration and teamwork. Our unique iSTEAM Playground consists of the Robotics Corner, the Science Corner and the Structures Corner. Each corner brings a different learning experience to the children, hence gearing them towards the world of Artificial Intelligence.

As we prepare children for the future world, it is also important to develop sensory awareness and immerse in simple good fun through play.

The 3rd storey is where most of the learning takes place for our pre-schoolers. This floor houses the Toddler, Nursery 1, Nursery 2, Kindergarten 1 and Kindergarten 2 classes.

The pre-school is intentionally designed to have an open concept. This is to fortify the children social skill by breaking through silos and ages. The daily schedules for each class are planned such that there are no disruptions during lessons. Our trained teachers ensure effectiveness of the intent throughout the day.

Our school is equipped with advanced technology such as the interactive projector which our teachers use for our e-curricula.

The Toddler class is enclosed to ensure safety. This design also allows the development of this age group mainly through experimentation and play. A full length mirror is placed on one side of the wall to enable toddlers to be aware of their self movement and expression. This classroom is also equipped with various play items such as the tree house, kitchen and supermarket toys to tease their imagination.

Learning corners such as our literacy and Numeracy corners encourage independent and peer learning.

The daily schedule includes time for children to be engaged in role play and arts & craft.
