The World’s Cutting-edge Preschool Approach
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.
World Research, Advisory and Education Team
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.
Well-Trained, Passionate Teachers
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.
