The Best is Yet to Be – Emile Preschool, from YoungParents.com

Unlock the full potential of your child at Emile Preschool, founded by some of the best early childhood education names in Singapore.

If you are looking for a preschool programme that is anchored by research and international best practices, Emile Preschool may be just the school for your child. It was founded by Dr Pei-Wen Tzuo (Sophia), a former assistant professor at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) with a PhD in Early Childhood Education, and Dr Ke-Wei Huang, an NUS (National University of Singapore) professor, with a PhD in Information Systems. Headed by a former lecturer of early childhood education at Temasek Polytechnic, Emile Preschool uses research findings in the areas of neuroscience, psychology, and education, to foster children’s abilities in critical thinking, knowledge acquisition and building a strong motivation for learning from an early age.

Emile Preschool adopts STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and maths) teaching principles based on research-proven studies and learning materials such as National Geographic Kids, Oxford Reading Trees, Letterland, and gifted education materials from the US and UK, Japan and Germany to foster learning. It believes that exposing children to STEAM subjects from an early age will help them build various thinking skills and lay a strong academic and intellectual foundation for success.

Setting the Stage for Success

A large central stage in the preschool allows children to participate in speech and drama and various performances, as Emile Preschool believes in nurturing and strengthening its students’ confidence and skills in speech and presentation from young. The school also has an effective English-Chinese bilingual immersion programme in place where kids are taught to present information, concepts and ideas in both languages. They are also exposed to a variety of stage-inspired activities, including speaking and performing.

Only the Best Food and Facilities

Not only does Emile Preschool focus on nurturing the mind, but it also nurtures kids physically with healthy meals made from organic vegetables, hormone-free poultry and products from reputable and safe sources. The preschool also uses only a paediatrician-recommended shower cleanser soap that is paraben- and phthalate-free. Students get to enjoy learning in an innovative and expansive environment conducive to learning, with access to new facilities such as a gymnastic play area. A low teacher-child ratio also ensures each little one gets quality care and attention.
