Our Nursery school ensures a seamless blend of social-emotional growth, robust cognitive development, and solid readiness for preschool, laying a foundation for lifelong learning.
At Haven Schoolhouse, our Nursery programme nurtures young minds through structured learning, play, and engaging social interaction. We believe in fostering a safe and nurturing environment where children can thrive and develop their full potential. Our dedicated team of educators is committed to engaging every child in age-appropriate activities that promote independence, communication, and a love of learning.
We understand the importance of these formative years and provide a comprehensive Nursery programme for babies and toddlers that fosters growth and development in a safe and stimulating environment.
We create a warm, welcoming atmosphere where every child feels secure and valued, allowing them to fully engage in their learning journey. We also adhere strictly to Singapore’s Early Childhood Development Agency (ECDA) and Ministry of Health (MOH) guidelines for safe management measures, ensuring a clean and hygienic environment.
Our Nursery school is meticulously designed to be safe, stimulating, and age-appropriate. Our indoor and outdoor daycare play areas are also thoughtfully equipped to encourage exploration, physical activity, and social interaction.
Additionally, we 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 Nursery staff are also trained to adhere to strict health protocols to minimise the spread of illness.
Our Nursery school educators are highly qualified, certified, and passionate about early childhood education. We employ a rigorous hiring process to ensure only the most dedicated professionals join our team. With a 1:15 teacher-student ratio for Nursery, each child receives personalised attention and guidance, enabling them to thrive and reach their full potential.
Our child Nursery curriculum, aligned with ECDA’s Early Years Development Framework and Nurturing Early Learners Framework, integrates language, math, social, and motor skills development, providing a strong foundation for lifelong learning.
As part of our Nursery school’s Growth & Enabling Mindset framework, we focus on specific skill development from N1 to K2 to enable children to be future-ready for socio-emotional transitions and intellectual growth. We also cultivate essential management and life skills, preparing children to think critically, organise ideas, and communicate effectively.
Building on our Pre-Nursery programme, our Nursery curriculum helps children develop crucial self-help skills, such as eating, dressing, and toilet training. We also focus on forming positive peer relationships and fostering a supportive and collaborative learning environment.
We believe that a thriving partnership between parents and daycare educators is vital for a child’s success. Therefore, we ensure consistent and transparent communication. We conduct bi-annual meetings to review progress and establish goals. Should parents desire a more detailed discussion, they can easily schedule appointments with their child’s Nursery teacher during office hours.
For daily updates, our MERCU Taidii app offers seamless communication, enabling parents to receive direct messages from teachers, view photos of daily activities and school events, access important announcements, and monitor their child’s e-portfolio and progress reports.
Our carefully crafted Nursery curriculum is designed to guide children through their early years, focusing on key learning outcomes that support their development and prepare them for a smooth transition into kindergarten. Through a combination of play-based activities, music, dance, games, and reading, our educators encourage children to explore and understand the world around them.
We are dedicated to providing a nurturing environment where every child can thrive and reach their full potential. And parents can be confident that our curriculum is thoughtfully designed to ensure their child develops a strong foundation for future success.
