MindChamps PreSchool has been voted the No. 1 Choice by Singapore Parents for 6 Consecutive Years! MindChamps PreSchool is now in Adda Heights, JB, Malaysia. Our full day (8 am – 3 pm) and extended full day (8 am – 6 pm) sessions for 18 months – 6 years old children include enrichment programmes that allow preschoolers to learn life skills in the areas of music, theatre, language and physical activity.
MindChamps PreSchool is the only preschool globally to nurture children with the Champion Mindset as researched by world-renowned neuroscientist Professor Emeritus Allan Snyder FRS (Centre for the Mind, University of Sydney). The MindChamps PreSchool approach is based on the concept of the 3-Mind – consisting of the Champion Mind, the Learning Mind and the Creative Mind – to prepare today’s preschoolers for success in the unpredictable and unknown world of 2039, when they face the real world in the work force.
MindChamps PreSchool’s unique curriculum is the result of over a decade of research and development in the 4 distinct domains of Theatre, Psychology, Neuroscience and Education. The curriculum nurtures all aspects of children and includes world proprietary academic and enrichment programmes. The programmes are shown as follows:

In our pedagogical practice, the S.M.I.L.E.S.™ environment is one of the engagement and security of nurturing and exploration where our children feel secure and confident to thrive in. It prepares the brain for optimal growth and anticipates the future development of the 3-Mind. The acronym S.M.I.L.E.S. stands for: Sensory, Motor (Music and Movement), Intellectual, Linguistic, Emotional and Social. It is a principle which acknowledges that the human brains, in their formative stages, need all aspects of the mind to be stimulated simultaneously – and that all activities contain the potential for providing experiences that engage all of the S.M.I.L.E.S. elements.
By constantly focusing on the creation of S.M.I.L.E.S. activities, the MindChamps teacher becomes a potent source of age-appropriate stimulation for a mind hungry for the building-blocks of intellect and social-emotional development.
What truly sets MindChamps apart from other preschools is the MindChamps philosophy, their strong commitment to research excellence, and unwavering passion for turning the latest discoveries into effective educational initiatives.
“We realised that, in most national education systems, children are not sufficiently taught how to learn. This leads them to form certain mindsets at an early age that impede their sense of wonder and curiosity, which hinders their ability to learn,” shares MindChamps. Therefore, to address this issue, MindChamps decided to work alongside international, award-winning researchers and education experts, such as world-renowned neuroscientist Emeritus Professor Allan Snyder FRS, to formulate a unique approach to educating young minds. The preschool’s forward-looking curriculum is research-backed by world-leading experts from the four domains of: Education, Neuroscience, Psychology and Theatre.
The teachers at MindChamps are guided by the best interests of the children and that is at the heart of every aspect of the preschool. They put all their energy into everything they do and believe in true teamwork to achieve goals and objectives.
In order to deliver the highest standards in early childhood education, all MindChamps teachers receive up to 200 hours of extensive training and accreditation from the Singapore headquarters. The teachers, as well as trainers, are personally coached by the experts of the World Research, Advisory and Education Team. The extensive training sessions ensure teachers are fully equipped to impart the MindChamps curriculum and nurture generations of young Champs.
At MindChamps PreSchool, it brings the best facilities to your precious little child – holistic programmes that cater to the learning needs of children, low teacher-child ratio and MindChamps Teachers’ Training to ensure the best learning experience that your child deserves. Communication with parents and updates about children’s learning and development is provided through the MindChamps App (a Parent App). Other forms of parent-teacher communication comprise face-to-face meetings, phone calls and email correspondence.
At MindChamps, children’s safety and security are always placed as their utmost priority. These practices include a Health Check System (3 times daily of children’s temperature taking and sanitisation), furniture with child-proof corners and edges, strict authorisation procedure for pick-ups, CCTV surveillance and security officer stations outside the centre.
At MindChamps, children’s safety and security are of paramount importance. To provide parents the peace of mind knowing that their children will be safe in school, MindChamps has enforced the following key practices: thorough disinfection and temperature taking at the entrance, real-time health condition updates and attendance records are instantly reported on the school’s app, ensure 1 metre social distancing, children have individual sets of resources, advanced equipment for sanitisation and disinfection, periodic disinfection from professional service provider, proper hand hygiene, food safety, visitors have to check in via My Sejahtera, and all students, teachers and parents are required to be tested weekly for the virus to mitigate any contagion risks.
The symbol of MindChamps PreSchool is the bamboo plant, one of the most successful plants in the world, because of the ‘preparation’ it goes through underneath the ground, before the extent of its development is apparent. Building on this metaphor, the 10 ‘key roots’ are the learning and development strategies which will underpin a young child’s mind, social and intellectual growth throughout childhood and into adulthood:
Key Root 1: Champion Values and Emotional Intelligence Building Strategies
Key Root 2: Creativity and Theatrical Strategies
Key Root 3: Associative Thinking and Cognitive Strategies
Key Root 4: Communication Strategies
Key Root 5: Narrative Intelligence Strategies
Key Root 6: Language and Reading Strategies
Key Root 7: Numeracy Strategies
Key Root 8: Nature and Environmental Awareness Strategies
Key Root 9: Movement for the Mind Strategies
Key Root 10: Music for Learning and Life Strategies
MindChamps’ curriculum/programme approach to learning is not just an educational approach, but a movement suited to the rapidly changing world of the 21st Century (the Century of the Mind).
MindChamps prepares children of today with the skills, flexibility and mindset to thrive in an information-saturated future – nurturing every child to be the best that they can be.
Early childhood is the crucial time for laying foundations. The foundations for intellectual, cognitive, social and emotional development must be carefully laid down ‘under the ground’, for future growth and success to follow. – MindChamps PreSchool
