Helping Your Child Explore, Adapt & Thrive
Helping your child to explore, adapt & thrive
Language & Literacy
Confidence in communication starts early. Children learn verbal, listening and storytelling skills through group play, show-and-tell, and phonemic activities.
Numeracy
Children build number sense and logical thinking through hands-on counting games, puzzles, and stories.
Discovery of the World
Curiosity comes alive through outdoor learning, science exploration, and age-appropriate investigations of the world around them.
Motor Skills Development
Daily outdoor play and fine motor activities support healthy growth, coordination and early writing skills.
Aesthetics & Creative Expression
Music, movement, and art invite children to express themselves, solve problems, and explore their emotions.
Social-Emotional Development
Children develop empathy, resilience and friendship helping children navigate feelings, friendships, and group settings with confidence.
A Holistic Approach to Lifelong Learning
Our PETAL™ approach — Playing, Exploring, Thinking, and Applying Learning — brings education to life through hands-on discovery and emotional engagement.
Playing
At My First Skool, play is where learning begins. Through hands-on games and thoughtfully designed Learning Corners, children explore ideas with joy and curiosity.
Exploring
Children learn best when they’re free to explore. At My First Skool, we create safe, open-ended experiences where curiosity leads the way.
When children roll different-shaped wheels down a ramp, for instance, they begin to notice patterns — some move faster or farther. These little discoveries help them connect ideas and build confidence in thinking for themselves.
Thinking
Educators guide children to reflect, reason, and make connections nurturing critical thinking.
Apply Learning
Children apply what they’ve learned through real-world experiences, projects, and conversations.
Enriching the Way Children Learn
Beyond the classroom, we give children the opportunity to explore, express, and grow in meaningful ways. Through hands-on experiences, cultural immersion, and future-ready skills, we nurture confident, curious, and capable learners.
Through our partnership with the Nature Society of Singapore, children explore biodiversity in real-world settings like Zhenghua Nature Park. Our “Every Singaporean a Naturalist” programme and Community in Bloom gardens help children develop environmental awareness, curiosity, and a deep connection with nature.
In collaboration with the National Arts Council, this programme brings creativity to life through music, movement, and visual arts. Children explore self-expression, build confidence, and strengthen language and social skills while learning in inspiring, art-filled environments that showcase their work.
With input from NTU and the Chinese University of Hong Kong, we create environments where children switch between languages with ease. Games, theatre, and everyday interactions introduce them to Singapore’s rich diversity and help build empathy, adaptability, and confidence in communication.
Our character building programme, conducted in Chinese, helps children develop core values such as respect, care, honesty, and responsibility. Through role-play and daily routines, they practise these values in real-life situations that encourage reflection, thoughtful choices and personal growth, with meaningful involvement from parents at home.
We introduce Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths through play, experimentation, and tech-enabled activities. With intuitive tools like Apple technology and dedicated STEM stations, children begin to grasp coding, logic, and creative problem-solving from a young age.
Partnering with the National Heritage Board, we immerse children in Malay language and culture through food, games, storytelling, and music. Learning zones and heritage-rich activities at Wisma Geylang Serai inspire pride in cultural roots and a joyful connection to language.
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.
for Growth
We believe children learn best when they feel safe, seen, and supported not through memorisation or mechanical drills.
We work hand-in-hand with families to understand each child’s needs at home and in school. This strong partnership builds trust and consistency, helping children feel secure and confident as they take early steps toward independence.
Behind every confident child is a teacher who truly sees them. Our passionate and dedicated educators create a safe, familiar space where strong, nurturing bonds with each child are formed. This helps children feel secure, valued, and excited to explore their world.
Early friendships shape how children see themselves and others. We gently guide social interactions so children learn to share, empathise, and resolve conflicts with care. With the support of our educators, these early connections build lasting social confidence and emotional strength.
We naturally embed mother tongue languages into everyday moments, from conversations to classroom routines. This gentle, immersive approach builds strong language foundations while nurturing a deep sense of identity, belonging, and cultural connection.
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.
