Morning (8:00 AM – 12:00 PM)
Morning (8:00 AM – 12:00 PM)
Practising good daily eating habits
Each morning starts with nutritious and delicious meals prepared in line with Health Promotion Board guidelines. Children also learn to take responsibility by cleaning up after themselves, reinforcing daily routines that promote independence.
Learning patriotism and respect
Children participate in morning exercises and recite the national anthem and pledge. This daily tradition helps build a sense of unity, pride, and appreciation for their country.
Becoming aware of the world around them
Children are introduced to local news and cultural events in ways that spark conversation and curiosity. They are encouraged to ask questions and reflect on what they learn, developing communication skills and critical thinking through inquiry-based learning.
Building strong foundations in language and literacy
Children engage in one hour of English and one hour of Chinese each day. Taught by native or fluent speakers, our bilingual programme includes activities such as show-and-tell, letter recognition, reading, and conversation. Lessons are designed to enhance early literacy while helping children gain confidence in expressing themselves.
Letting creativity come to life
Children explore their creative sides through painting, drawing, and constructing with peers. Whether in the art corner or building with manipulatives, these sessions encourage imagination, problem-solving, and collaboration.
Afternoon (12:00 PM – 4:00 PM)

A well-balanced, energising meal
Lunch is a time to recharge with a variety of healthy meals, prepared to meet Health Promotion Board standards. Meals are tailored to suit individual dietary needs and also provide opportunities to reinforce good table manners and healthy eating habits.
Learning through rhythm and play
Music time introduces children to basic instruments, rhythms, and movement activities. These sessions support language development, coordination, and emotional expression, all in a fun and engaging setting.
A moment to pause and refresh
Children are given time to rest, reset, and reflect on their morning learning. This short break prepares them mentally and emotionally for the remainder of the day.
Learning through independence and social interaction
Children are given freedom to choose their activities, allowing them to explore personal interests, develop leadership skills, and strengthen cooperation. Free choice time supports self-directed learning and fosters decision-making and social awareness.
A healthy snack to keep the energy flowing
Nutritious afternoon snacks ensure children stay focused and fuelled for their evening activities. This is also a time to practise table etiquette and enjoy calm social interaction.
Evening (4:00 PM – 7:00 PM)

Staying active and engaged
Children enjoy physical activities in nearby parks and gardens where they participate in obstacle courses, group games, and tricycle play. These sessions strengthen gross motor skills and encourage teamwork in an open, natural setting.
Diving deeper into areas of interest
Children explore specialised learning corners based on their interests. The manipulative corner builds fine motor control, while the dramatic corner allows for pretend play and storytelling. There are also English, Chinese, and art-focused corners to reinforce language, creativity, and cognitive skills.
Connecting across generations
Children participate in shared activities with older adults from the community. These sessions encourage respect, empathy, and inclusivity while providing new perspectives and a deeper sense of belonging in society.
Ending the day with warmth and care
As the day winds down, children are reunited with their loved ones. All parents and caregivers are required to check their child out via our secure app to ensure a safe and smooth dismissal process.
Where Relationships
Power Learning
At My First Skool, trust comes first. For over 45 years, we’ve built our curriculum on the belief that strong relationships between children, teachers, and families are the foundation of confident, meaningful learning.
with Confidence
As children progress into Nursery 2 to Kindergarten 2, we focus on strengthening their academic readiness, emotional resilience, and life skills. Our goal is to help every child take the next step with confidence, curiosity, and joy.

Children build meaningful relationships as they interact with peers, teachers, and members of the community. Intergenerational activities and group collaboration help them develop empathy, respect for people of all ages, and the confidence to thrive in social settings.
We encourage children to explore ideas, ask questions, and think independently through group projects and daily reflections. With early exposure to STEM and hands-on learning, they build strong problem-solving skills and a curious, open mindset.
Bilingualism gives children a broader view of the world and a deeper connection to culture and values. Through conversations, songs, and games, we make mother tongue learning natural and enjoyable, helping children communicate with confidence and compassion.
