A stimulating and nurturing daycare programme designed to encourage exploration, independence, and early learning in toddlers.
Unleash your little one’s potential with our engaging toddler learning programmes! We ignite curiosity and foster a lifelong love of learning with hands-on exploration and joyful discovery. Here’s more about our nurturing and developmentally rich Playgroup and Pre-Nursery programmes designed to support your toddler’s crucial early years.
Is your little explorer ready? Our Playgroup (PG) programme offers a playful, stimulating environment for discovery and growth. Through interactive storytelling, music, and games, we introduce early literacy naturally. We also focus on listening skills, social interaction, and first friendships in a safe, supportive setting.
As your child grows, so does their thirst for knowledge. Our Pre-Nursery (N1) programme builds on the Playground foundation, preparing them for the next chapter. We nurture a love for letters and sounds through engaging activities, introducing key concepts for future success. Our educators create a warm, encouraging atmosphere where children develop confidence, independence, and social skills, setting them up for preschool.
At Haven Schoolhouse, we understand that choosing the right toddler daycare is a pivotal decision. We provide a robust foundation for your child’s development with:
Our toddler-friendly, baby-proofed spaces include vibrant indoor and outdoor play areas that are designed to stimulate exploration, encourage physical activity, and foster social interaction, all while maintaining the highest standards of safety and hygiene.
We also strictly adhere to the guidelines of the Early Childhood Development Agency (ECDA) and the Ministry of Health (MOH) for safe management measures. Our centres undergo daily and weekly deep cleaning and sanitisation to ensure a clean and safe environment for all.
We also conduct daily health checks three times per day: upon arrival, after lunch, and after nap time. This includes temperature checks, visual inspections for signs of illness, and verbal inquiries about any discomfort. Our staff are also trained to adhere to strict health protocols to minimise the spread of illness.
Our Playgroup and Pre-Nursery educators are highly qualified and possess the expertise to nurture and guide young learners. Our rigorous hiring process ensures that only the most passionate and skilled educators are on our team and dedicated to your child’s development.
We also maintain low teacher-to-child ratios for personalised attention: 1:8 for Playgroup classes and 1:12 for Pre-Nursery classes, ensuring each child receives the individualised support they need to thrive.
Our Playgroup and Pre-Nursery curriculum, aligned with ECDA’s Early Years Development Framework and Nurturing Early Learners Framework, provides a strong foundation for lifelong learning. Our toddler daycare programmes support cognitive, language, and social development through structured and free play.
We incorporate thematic learning, hands-on exploration, and guided activities to stimulate curiosity and foster a love of learning. This curriculum is integral to our school’s Growth & Enabling Mindset framework, driven by our core values of collaboration, accountability, respect, and empowerment.
We understand the importance of partnership in your child’s early education and, therefore, maintain open and consistent communication with parents. We also hold twice-yearly meetings to discuss performance and set goals. If needed, parents can also schedule appointments with their child’s teacher during office hours for in-depth discussions.
For daily communication, our school communication app, MERCU Taidii, is available for parents to send and receive messages directly with their child’s teacher, view photos of their child’s daily activities and school events, and access important announcements from us. Parents can also view their child’s e-portfolio and progress reports on the app.
Recognising the significant developmental milestones achieved during this period, we provide a stimulating environment that encourages exploration and learning. Our carefully designed Playgroup and Pre-Nursery programmes help children build strong cognitive, social-emotional, and early academic skills. From mastering first steps and words to developing crucial problem-solving abilities, our programmes are tailored to support each child’s unique pace.
Through guided teaching sessions and engaging activities, such as storytelling sessions, painting, and drawing, we nurture confidence and school readiness. This means that parents can rest assured that our comprehensive approach to toddler daycare supports their child’s growth and development, preparing them for a successful transition to nursery school, kindergarten, and beyond.
OUR PROGRAMMES
Our programme focuses on three essential domains of development:
Our Playgroup and Pre-Nursery programmes nurture speech and language skills through a variety of hands-on activities and play-based learning. We encourage curiosity and exploration, recognising the unique abilities of each child.
Children develop gross motor skills like riding tricycles and running while also refining fine motor skills through painting, drawing, and self-help activities.
We foster emotional awareness and positive relationships through dramatic play, storytelling, and daily interactions. Our Playgroup and Pre-Nursery teachers serve as role models, guiding children towards empathy and cooperation.
