Overview
All MOE Kinderagartens (MKs) offer the same curriculum and flagship programmes, and focus on:
Holistic development
Integrated and active learning
Learning through purposeful play and quality interactions
Developing confidence and social skills
Building a good foundation in literacy and numeracy
Nurturing bilingualism in English and Mother Tongue Language (i.e. Chinese, Malay and Tamil languages)
Curriculum goals
Our curriculum and programmes are based on the Nurturing Early Learners (NEL) Framework that guides the development of kindergarten programmes in Singapore.
At MK, we believe preschool children are curious, active, joyful and competent learners. They’re keen to make sense of the world around them, and they learn best through active learning. We strive to make learning authentic and relevant for your child through activities with a distinctive Singapore flavour.
In place of giving homework, we encourage Family-Based activities for parents to be engaged with their children. This will allow for parents to share the joy of their child’s growth and learning as well as bond with their child.
