Creating our dreams
Kindergarten (KG 1 & KG 2)
Children from the age of four to five years old may attend Kindergarten. The premises
consist of spacious, bright classrooms and include separate rooms for music and
movement, languages, indoor and large outdoor play areas.
The early years of a child’s life are the most formative. During this period, children absorb
innumerable impressions from their surroundings as their inner development takes place.
Very young children are happiest when their living environment is familiar and constant.
They thrive on routine, external order, encouragement and respect for their individuality.
The Raffles Kindergarten is an early learning centre with a child-centered programme in
which individual needs, abilities and interests of the child are met. Our curriculum does
not concentrate solely on the academic achievements, but on the physical, emotional and
social development needs of children at the pre-school age level.
We offer the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) in the West Campus and the Montessori
Programme in the South Campus providing parents with a choice.
West Campus – IB Primary Years Programme (PYP)*
This international transdisciplinary programme is designed to foster development of the
whole child, not just in the classroom but also through other means of learning.
*IB PYP candidate school. Only schools authorised by the International Baccalaureate can offer any of its
programmes. Candidate status gives no guarantee that authorisation will be granted.
South Campus – Montessori Programme
The Montessori curriculum is an integrated thematic approach that ties the separate
disciplines together into studies of the physical universe, the world of nature, and human
experience. In this way, one lesson leads to many others.
