Early Childhood Education in Singapore

Quality Education for the Early Years at ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ

Early Learning Village

Provide your child with a strong foundation in life and early childhood education by enrolling them at the ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ American Early Learning Village. Tailored for the crucial preschool years spanning from Infant Care to Kindergarten 2, our Village warmly welcomes children aged 2 months to 6 years.

Inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach, the Early Learning Village campus has been built as an environment for safe, experiential learning for Early Years children. Natural wood structures and open spaces give children the freedom to explore, discover, and to express themselves.

Since its inception, the Early Learning Village has built a strong reputation as a trusted international preschool in Singapore, dedicated to nurturing creative and independent young individuals. Our self-directed learning approach, inspired by the Reggio Emilia method, seamlessly aligns with the educational philosophies upheld by the International Baccalaureate (IB) for older students. As a result, the Early Learning Village stands out as the most complementary institution to the IB framework for early childhood education that Singapore
parents can choose for their children.

Each Child Is An Individual

Our Early Years program at ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ American recognizes the uniqueness of each child with their evolving needs, preferences, and routines. We appreciate the distinctiveness of every young child and tailor our Early Years program to cater to their individual requirements. Collaboration with each family is integral in formulating personalized care plans, ensuring that our care aligns closely with the child’s experiences at home.

Early Years Curriculum

How kids discover the wonders of the world is just as crucial as what they learn. Welcome to the magic of Early Childhood Education at ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ American, where we lay the foundation for your child’s first school experience. Creating a positive and nurturing environment, we believe that for children to become enthusiastic lifelong learners, they need to feel safe, secure, and happy. At ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ American, we’re thrilled to offer an inclusive space where all children are not just invited but encouraged to play, learn, experiment, and build loving connections. Trust and security, the keys to each child’s success, flourish through the open partnership we cultivate between home and school.
