A Day in the Life of a My First Skool Nursery 1 Child
At My First Skool, each day invites your child to explore through stories, music, art, and play with friends. Our caring teachers and purposeful curriculum nurture confidence, creativity, and vital skills.
Morning (8:00 AM – 12:00 PM)
Morning (8:00 AM – 12:00 PM)
The most important meal of the day
We start the day with healthy, delicious food prepared according to Health Promotion Board guidelines. Beyond nourishing their bodies, we teach children how to clean up after themselves to build self-confidence and independence.
Sensational experiences that grow the brain
Children dive into activities that engage touch, smell, movement, balance, sight, taste, and hearing. These multi-sensory experiences support cognitive development and strengthen their natural curiosity to explore.
Bringing imagination to life
With paint, crayons, and plenty of colour, children express their ideas and emotions through art. These sessions help sharpen fine motor skills while encouraging self-expression and creativity.
Big skies, big movement
We head outside to run, jump, climb, and explore nearby parks and gardens. These outdoor sessions boost physical development, motor coordination, and an appreciation for the natural world.
Learning through rhythm and joy
Children sing, dance, and move to music as a way to reinforce language, memory, and body awareness. Using finger rhymes and songs in their Mother Tongue, such as Chinese, they connect emotionally and linguistically through sound and play.

Wholesome meals children love
Nutritious meals are served fresh and tailored to each child’s dietary needs, following Health Promotion Board guidelines. Lunchtime also builds social skills and healthy eating habits.
A restful pause to recharge
Children are encouraged to rest in a quiet, calming environment that supports both physical recovery and mental focus. A short nap helps them return to their afternoon refreshed and ready to learn.
Everyday skills through joyful routines
Children are guided in caring for their hygiene while engaging in group sing-alongs that build vocabulary and encourage expression. These light, fun activities also help them transition smoothly from rest to play.
A tasty and nutritious afternoon break
A selection of healthy snacks provides a much-needed energy boost. We make sure each child receives the essential nutrients that support their brain development and sustained focus.
Independence through choice
Children are given the freedom to choose from a variety of toys, puzzles, and teacher-made resources. This time promotes autonomy, concentration, and skill-building, especially for those who prefer quieter solo activities.

Opening doors to new worlds
Books come to life during our storytelling sessions, where shadow puppets, props, and role-playing turn every story into an adventure. These moments spark imagination and develop a lasting love for reading.
Back to the ones who matter most
As the day ends, children reunite with their families. Pick-up is a warm and welcoming time, filled with smiles and familiar faces. To ensure safety, all children must be checked out through our app by an authorised parent or caregiver.
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.
