Tadika Smart Kidsland offers a stimulating learning environment that enables children to grow at their own pace in a non-competitive setting. The teachers are carefully chosen for their knowledge and skills, and most importantly, their passion to provide experiences that embrace all aspects of child development. Together, they form a system of children and adults working together to “free the child’s potential, … and transform him into the world”.
The centre provides an education founded on our National Preschool Standard Curriculum and the Montessori principles of schooling for children aged 18 months to 6 years. The space is full of large, spacious and open classrooms with plenty of natural light to compliment it. Everything is sized to the age of the children to encourage self-driven learning. There is a neat organisation of varied Montessori apparatus and educational materials, including ones that teachers had handcrafted for the lessons. Rooms are not cluttered, and children can move around and work comfortably with the stimulating activities prepared by the teachers.
The programmes are designed to expose children to opportunities where they can learn through a world of play. Activities are presented in the following areas:
Lessons consist of children being engaged in different activities simultaneously, while maintaining an orderly atmosphere. Teachers work with small groups of children at a time to assist each child with his or her growing capacity. The initiative to learn and do things independently are encouraged here, facilitating full child development – not only academically but also socially, emotionally and physically
At Tadika Smart Kidsland, our passion is to assist each child to embrace their inner inquisitiveness through play learning and hands-on activities. Our environment is crafted to facilitate maximum exploration and learning by children. We strongly believe that education should foster good character and moral development. It is our ultimate responsibility to provide a safe and secure space that promotes the health and emotional wellbeing of each child. We are built to ensure that each child graduates with a happy, fun, positive and rewarding school experience. Ms. Lily Teo, Principal of Tadika Smart Kidsland
There are half-day and full-day schedule options available, during which children will be exposed to many learning enrichments that include practical living experiences from visits to the local fire department and organic farm, free exploration of materials in classrooms, extracurricular activities, ukulele music lessons, outdoor play, holiday camps, family fun days and more. Working hard is hungry work. The principal enjoys handpicking fresh groceries so that children can have nutritious lunches and healthy snacks. Children assisting with packing away at the end of each meal is part of the daily routine
With a child-focused approach, Tadika Smart Kidsland ensures that children’s social, emotional and academic needs are met, and are fully engaged in a wondrous journey of learning. Whether it is a positive start to learning or an opportunity for growth, the centre values different children abilities and developmental rates to maximise each child’s fullest potential.
