Nurturing The Future Ready Child

Our Preschool Curriculum

With a vision of nurturing well-rounded children with imaginative minds, positive attitudes and strength of character, Mulberry Learning has developed a proprietary preschool curriculum that promises a fun bilingual learning experience, providing each child with a comprehensive and holistic education by nurturing core skills and knowledge, alongside intelligent thinking habits and dispositions.

Our award-winning preschool is critically acclaimed by leading media publications and thousands of parents across Singapore, Australia, and China. Voted as Singapore’s “Best Holistic Learning Programme” and Best Reggio Emilia Preschool” for consecutive years running, Mulberry Learning’s proprietary iDevelop / iExplore / iLearn / iExperience model provides a unique blend of renowned and established pedagogies like Habits of Mind (USA), Reggio Emilia (Italy), and Multiple Intelligences (USA).

iDevelop

iDevelop

How does your child behave when facing difficulties? Does he or she throw a tantrum and cry, simply give up, or look for ways to overcome the challenge? iDevelop helps your child to develop intelligent thinking and behavioural dispositions through the established Habits of Mind™ framework. Just as how successful entrepreneurs, global leaders, and world class athletes demonstrate positive traits, we too want our children to draw upon these set of intelligent thinking habits. This established framework has since been adopted by Singapore’s Ministry of Education under its Gifted Education Programme, top Primary and Secondary Schools, as well as many other leading educational institutions around the world. At Mulberry Learning, we are the world’s first and only preschool network certified by the USA to develop and offer the Habits of Mind™ framework exclusively for our preschoolers. The programme instills positive behaviours that help children succeed in a volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous world.

iExplore

iExplore

iExplore promotes the child’s interests and views to encourage self-directed learning through exploration and discovery. Reggio Emilia is often regarded as “the only global preschool pedagogy truly able to ignite a child’s love for learning”. As Singapore’s leading Reggio-inspired preschool, Mulberry Learning adopts a unique hands-on discovery learning approach driven by the child’s interests. Distinguishing features of the Project Inquiry™ programme are the collaborative projects done in both English and Mandarin. Children take charge of their learning as they become little scientists to explore in depth selected themes, engage in scientific research and experiments, conduct analysis of findings, and finally present their project findings to their class and parents! Children emerge from these projects brimming with curiosity, satisfaction, and taking an active approach towards their learning as self-motivated young explorers.

iLearn

iLearn

iLearn enables the child to acquire a solid foundation in early literacy, bilingualism, and mathematics. Through signature core programmes like Literacy Fun™, Chinese Master™ and Math Quest™, children develop strong literacy and mathematical skills, and gain an expressive vocabulary of more than 4,500 English words and over 2,000 Chinese words by the age of 6! The extensive range of S.T.E.A.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) enrichment programmes complement the core programmes to allow children to hone their creativity, problem solving, and critical thinking skills through fun learning experiences across different domains. Exciting programmes are in store for your little ones including our Robotics programme Little Tinkerer™, our Arts programme Picasso Kidz™, our Science programme Little Newton™, our Culinary Arts programme Busy Baker™ and our Music programme Music Mooves™ amongst others.

iExperience

iExperience

iExperience is developed to allow the child to experience self-directed learning in a Reggio-inspired environment via beautiful and functional learning spaces. When children find themselves in environments that are aesthetically beautiful, soothing, full of wonder and discovery, they feel intrigued and eager to learn more. From the Construction Piazza to the Light Atelier and the Imaginary Playscape, every Mulberrian will experience a sensorial wonder as they explore these learning spaces, which stimulate their creativity and promote divergent thinking.
