The spacious 3-storey house features flexible learning spaces, library, play gym, presentation stage, workshop room, computer room, audio and meeting room, as well as a wondrous outdoor space where children can explore and grow plants in the eco farm pit.

At Castle Kindergarten, they are committed to building bright futures for students through a curriculum that cultivates creative and confident children who have strong academic knowledge and skills. Utilising the International Creative Teaching Method (ICTM), which is a well-researched teaching approach that’s unique to all schools under the Tadika Kastil umbrella, teachers emphasise on children’s left- and right-brain development. The programmes provide a balance between supporting children to pick up subject knowledge (so that they will be prepared for primary school) and exploring children’s individual talents. Overall, it embraces the concept of the school’s motto: “To cultivate outstanding and happy kids.”

Instead of traditional rote learning where children simply sit and listen to a lesson, Castle Kindergarten encourages children to learn by doing and being in the experience itself. This way children can remain engaged in the process and will love learning.

Beyond these, it is core to the Castle Kindergarten philosophy to nurture children who are compassionate and know how to care for others as well as the society. Through visits to orphanages and old folks’ homes, children learn about the importance of sharing and giving that will carry on into adulthood.

Being part of the Tadika Kastil Education Group means teachers here are continually building on their professional development and receiving the guidance they need through teacher’s training sessions. They work together as a team to create a successful learning environment for the children in their care. Their dedication extends to maintaining regular communication with the parents, keeping them informed on their children’s progress and of the events happening at school.
