Supported by a dedicated team of educators and a warm, nurturing environment, Cambridge @ River Valley provides a trusted and enriching childcare experience that fosters holistic growth and development for your child.
Our sons attended Cambridge @ Robertson for two years before we moved back to the UK. It is a wonderful pre-school, so caring and nurturing. The STEAM curriculum meant our children were ahead when we moved back to the UK. The teachers are incredible, very kind and loving. We have many happy memories of all of the fancy dress activities, enrichment classes, shows and activities such as parents coming in and booking their national dish with the class. Four years later we are still in touch with Principal Ria and Teacher Skye and had a wonderful reunion visit with them when we returned to Singapore on holiday. So many happy school memories. Can't recommend highly enough.

Cambridge is a school that is very welcoming has a friendly staff and has an excellent learning environment. Parents can choose from an array of classes each semester such as coding and robotics, sports class, Chinese, dance and other enrichment courses. Additionally, the instructor goes above and beyond to help the development of children, completing detailed report cards and parent teacher conferences so parents always know how their child is progressing and where we can help continue development.
One perk of sending our child here is the photo gallery that shares to me moments in our child’s day. This really helps me feel more connected to my child when I’m not around and seeing how they interact with others. Overall, Cambridge is a school that really cares and I am so thankful for all the time these instructors have put in to help shape our child’s future. I feel confident that our kids will be successful in their learning career thanks to this wonderful school.

We witnessed how our son with ASD achieved many great milestones and unleashed much of his potential through the all rounded, multi faceted programmes that inspire, educate and empower him. We are truly grateful for Principal - Ms Ria, and all their teachers, T. Joy, T. Skye, Li Laoshi, Gian Ping Laoshi, Wu Laoshi, Megumi Sensei, Akira Sensei, Ms Celeste and all the staff who have dedicated the level of care, heart, and attention to nurture and inspire him.
It’s been a wonderful experience for us to see our 3 children grow, learn, and develop themselves from N1 to K2 levels under the professional care in Cambridge @ Robertson family.
Thank you!

Cambridge @ Robertson has been an absolute blessing for our family! From the moment we walked in year 2018 for a tour, we felt a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
The facilities are bright, clean, and well-equipped, creating a stimulating STEM environment for learning and play. But what truly sets this preschool apart is the incredible team of educators, and in particular, our child's teacher, Teacher Joy. Teacher Joy is simply amazing. She has a genuine passion for teaching and a remarkable ability to connect with each child on an individual level. Our child, Rykeer joined during playgroup and has blossomed from his Nursery to Kindergarten years under all the wonderful Teachers(Zhao Lao Shi, Li Lao Shi, Zeng Lao Shi , Aunty Li, Senseis, Principal Mas and Principal Ria) as well as admin staff Celeste.
As a seasoned educator for 25 years, Teacher Joy's patience, understanding, and gentle encouragement completely transformed my child. She fostered a love of learning in everyone and helped them develop confidence and social skills that we never thought possible. We've seen such a positive change in my child's personality and enthusiasm for going to school.
Fun fact: My child at 18 months since Day 1 of Cambridge Robertson has never once cried when we dropped him off to school, in fact when we pick him up, he never wants to leave! 😄
We are so grateful for Teacher Joy's dedication and the positive impact she has had on our child's growing years. She is truly a gifted educator, and we feel so fortunate to have had her as part of our child's early education. Cambridge @ Robertson, has laid a strong foundation for Rykeer's future success. We highly recommend this pre-school to any family looking for a nurturing and enriching learning environment.
One thing to highlight also is: They celebrate a myriad of festivals, and it has taught my child so much about different cultures and races! You name it, they celebrate it, my child is dressed up for Halloween, Deepavali, Mid-Autumn Festival, Hari Raya and so much more! Also the friendships that were forged continues even after we graduated, even among the parents, it’s amazing! Grateful from the bottom of our hearts!
The best pre-school and nursery in Singapore! Great curriculum, teaching system, mission and learning vision together with great values are being shared with the parents and children. Highly recommended for all children of the world.
The Cambridge @ Robertson children celebrated Tanabata Star Festival today! The Tanabata tradition is a mix of Chinese legends that were brought to Japan in the nara period.
Halloween is a holiday of fun and creativity. The Cambridge @ Robertson children enjoyed letting their imaginations run halloween-y this time of the year!
Family and friends, lantern processions and oh-so-sweet mooncakes are three things that make the Mid-Autumn Festival one of the loveliest Chinese festivals for the children of Cambridge @ Robertson.
Cambridge @ Robertson marks Singapore’s 53 years of independence with a heartfelt rendition of “We Are Singapore”! Click on the 360° video and move your screen around.
Each class has an English and Chinese teacher, so you can learn two languages naturally.
There are also many events throughout the year where you can experience Japan’s four seasons even while staying in Singapore.
We have a full-time Japanese teacher who provides detailed support, which is very reassuring, and the children enjoy attending the preschool every day.
“Cambridge has a very personalised approach.”
Parents of Cian
Our son has been attending Cambridge for the last 2 years. The environment that Teacher Iza, Tong Laoshi and team creates helps him feel safe, develop and have fun. They have a very personalised approach where we feel they care about his development as a person as well as his educational skills. We also appreciate their proactive communication with us as parents for his ‘moments that matter’ and his growth areas. They are exceptional educators and we feel very grateful for the experience they are providing our son and their partnership with us
“He has become very interested in puzzles and problem-solving.”
Parents of Oliver
Our son has grown so much since attending Cambridge and has developed many skills along the way. He has become very interested in puzzles and problem-solving skills. He also loves to play (as all children do) and makes a strong effort to watch, learn, and include everyone around him. He has even taken a liking to learning mandarin and sings some of his favorite nursery rhymes in this language. Cambridge has also helped me feel closer to him through the many photos and videos uploaded regularly by teachers there. They all really seem to capture his best side and helps me follow along with his education and time there.
“We were looking for a preschool with a Japanese language class.”
Parents of Suzuki Lily Anna
We decided to enroll our child in Cambridge Pre-school when she was 18 months old because we were looking for a preschool with a Japanese language class.
Cambridge preschool is a local preschool, but there are two Japanese teachers stationed every day, which is very encouraging to consult in Japanese. The former teachers often send us many pictures, so the whole family can share and enjoy how she is enjoying school life.
The curriculum is also exciting, and my child has a lot of full-fledged experiences even though she is still a toddler. Our child is a bit shy, but we are relieved to see her smiles and interact with her teachers and friends.
“I look forward to the photos of activities and work that my child brings back at the end of the month.”
Parents of Koto Fukuda.
The teachers are friendly, so our child enjoys going to the kindergarten. The curriculum is solid, and it seems that my daughter enjoys learning, learning with hands, and experiential learning with all five senses. I look forward to the photos of activities that teachers uploaded and the work that my child brought back at the end of the month. Above all, it is very encouraging as Japanese parents that there are Japanese teachers who stay in the center daily to support the children and the family.
“She brings home all kinds of STEM terminology that she applies to various aspects of daily life“
Mother of Lucy
Lucy’s father and I have loved watching Lucy blossom before our eyes over the last year she has spent at Cambridge Robertson Walk. Not only does she bring home all kinds of STEM terminology that she applied to various aspects of daily life (such as identifying the pulley system she sees in constructions cranes and curtain cords, stump us with her new Mandaring vocabulary, as well as introduce us to games and toys from Japanese Culture from the weekly culture class, but she also has evolved into a more assertive and socially bold kid. We are so grateful for the learning sanctuary Cambridge provides, and feels so assured every time we receive thoughtful feedback from the teachers there
“I’m so glad to see my son’s pictures at school”
Parent of Senge
First of all, thank you for all the care for my son. He already went to school for 2 months now and he loved it! He doesn’t speak well yet but when he comes back home after school, he sings a song to me and told me what he did in school 🙂
I’m so glad that’s he was able to learn a lot at school. Also, I’m so glad to see my son’s pictures at school every day!
Thank you for your continued support.
“An Exclusive Interview with Mr. Ono Hiroyuki”
Father of Azumi and Meiko
We would like to express our gratitude to Mr. Ono Hiroyuki, whose children are studying at Cambridge Pre-school, for sharing his children’s experiences with Cambridge Pre-school and to reaffirm our belief that we have made a difference in the lives of the children under our care. Thank you.
“…he was a ‘Mr. No’ child, but now he is a confident boy.”
Ms Chua Chew Peng, Mother of Hector Lee
Time flies .. Hector will be graduating end of this year with Cambridge @ Robertson. I share with him the same mixed feelings, excited that he will be entering a new milestone but sad that he is leaving the school soon.The past 3 years had been an excellent experience for Hector. Besides the fundamental academic curriculum, the school cultivates real-world skills through project work. With a different theme topic in each term, Hector learns and develops valuable skill that enables him to communicate, collaborate, manage changes and being creative which are essential skills to prepare him for tomorrow’s world. He has also established strong friendship with his classmates. He would share about his interaction with them in class, whose birthday is coming and what snacks to buy for his friends when they have an outings. This is necessity for a healthy psychological development and I am glad Hector is coping this very well.
We would like to convey our appreciation to ALL teachers and staffs who have been part of his life for the last 3 years. They took great efforts to understand each and every child’s unique personality and nurture them. I remembered very clearly when Hector first started with Cambridge, he was a “Mr. No” child, but now he is a confident child who has the necessary skills to move forward to the next stage.
“…the diversity of cultures…made the school even more interesting!”
Rita Noyce, Mother of Adam & Emma
It’s been a lovely experience being part of the Cambridge family.
The diversity of cultures among students and teachers has made the school even more interesting!
As a parent, it has been so rewarding seeing how Adam has become a very confident and independent person. For all this, thanks to the experience teachers. They have always been so caring, supportive and friendly.
From Adam’s first day of school, all the teachers made him/us feel very welcomed. We could feel the homely environment and we knew without doubt that we had made the right choice for our son.
The variety of activities, projects, outdoor visits and so on, have been great not only for Adam but for the rest of our family. As a parent, being able to participate in some of these activities has also being fantastic! We have had the pleasure to meet other parents and got to know the teachers a little bit more.
Adam will miss Cambridge so much but he will always have unforgettable memories with his dear friends and teachers. There are not enough words to express our gratitude for helping Adam become the boy he is now.
“…an authentic learning experience.”
Parents of Faaiz & Zara
Cambridge @ Robertson has been more than a school for our children. It has not only been a memorable but also an authentic learning experience for them. The project based approach is truly helpful in acquiring life long learning skills based on the real world scenarios and environment. Each term has something different and interesting to offer and look forward to. It has also opened up their minds to the whole new world through discovery, experimentation and learning. We love the way excursions, activities and events are organised per given topics. From languages to numbers to science to current affairs, the vast variety of topics are covered during the year. It is also heartening to see how teachers and staff give individual attention to each child based on their learning abilities and skills. Not only this, the teachers have really been instrumental in mental and physical development of our children as well as providing them with a loving and caring environment during these crucial years of their lives. Both Faaiz and Zara love the outdoors and water-sand-play too during the week. Zara thoroughly enjoys her ballet class as well. Every day, they have something new to share with us and talk about at home.
The school also caters to different kinds of learners. For example, our son is more of a visual and auditory learner whereas, our daughter prefers to have a more hands-on experience and visuals. Not only this, they have also improved their imaginary as well as fine motor skills and we can see a difference over these years. Our son in K2 to some extent can read, write, draw and even take up group projects and talk about different topics in hand. They are able to speak well and have also gained confidence in interacting with people from different cultures and backgrounds based on the mix of classmates and teachers they have in school. We are happy to see them acquiring multilingual skills too. They are both non-native speakers of Mandarin and their reading, writing, speaking and listening skills have dramatically improved over these years and so much so that they are ready to take it up as their mother tongue in primary school and onwards.
Besides, we loved the idea of having technology – interactive board and a computer in each classroom to have a more immersive learning experience rather than just books. They are also taught to be fairly independent individuals. Our son’s habits have definitely improved. We, as parents, are extremely thankful to the teachers and school for their efforts in the best nurture of our children and look forward to even more exciting years ahead with our little daughter still in school while our son moving on to Primary 1 soon. Thank you so much everyone!
