Baby Playhouse provides the opportunities and support to prepare little ones aged 8 months to 6 years with the skills and abilities that will carry them through life. From day one of this early learning journey, Baby Playhouse wants parents to feel like the centre is part of their extended family. Reflective of their motto – “A Trusted Home for Your Child” – the team makes sure that children are kept in the best of care throughout the day, happy and healthy. Nothing matters more than the wellbeing of the children.
Children
At Baby Playhouse, children are valued as unique individuals, who come in with their own interests, ideas, skills and cultural backgrounds. As active participants of their own learning, children are empowered to discover, explore and ponder on the how’s, what’s and why’s. In order for them to have the confidence to do so, the setting is carefully set up to facilitate this development. The way the environment is organized, the selection of resources and the interactions with children are designed to support children’s intellectual, cognitive, social, emotional and physical domains of growth. There is also a private pod for nursing mothers.
Educators
Besides a safe and stimulating environment, the dedication of well-trained and passionate educators is an integral element of the centre. Everyone works hard towards achieving a shared goal of supporting children through their discoveries, helping children strengthen critical thinking skills, and preparing them for school and life.
Family
In the whole equation, family is seen as the most influential component in ensuring the progression of a child’s development and future success. The centre aims to involve parents into all aspects of the programme implementation, creating happy memories and forming positive bonding moments along the way. Everything done is underlain by the core principle of honouring the trust parents place in the centre to provide the very best care and education for their children. With a strong community mind-set, everyone including parents grow and develop among friends.
The curriculum embraces the best early learning practices to achieve positive educational outcomes. It supports children to become independent learners using the Montessori method, increases community-based knowledge through the Reggio Emilia approach, shapes them into nature lovers according to Waldorf education, and instills Japanese values of diligence, dedication and politeness.
Enriched, Developmentally-appropriate Programmes
Baby Playhouse offers programmes that are devised to ensure that play is central to children’s early learning and development. They are planned around common themes and integrated across different areas of learning, including early literacy, numeracy, science, gardening and baking. Children are encouraged to explore and experiment both individually and in small groups. Through the following programmes, children get to expand their skills and knowledge with hands-on, sensorial and developmentally appropriate activities:
-
Beginner Programme (8 to 20 months)
Babies and toddlers learn and explore with the support of their parents. They will participate in lots of hands-on activities peppered with nursery rhymes, music, sensory play, baby massage and movement. Little ones start to make small discoveries about the world around them.
-
Explorer Programme (20 to 30 months)
Toddlerhood gets exciting while children begin to develop a sense of independence. As toddlers play and learn alongside their peers, their language, cognitive, social and physical skills begin to flourish.
-
Fun Master Programme (2.6 to 4 years)
As children gain more self-esteem and confidence, teachers encourage them to expand their problem-solving skills with a balanced variety of learning opportunities.
-
Adventurer Programme (4 to 6 years)
When children cooperate, communicate, share and take turns, they build a strong foundation of social competence and emotional security. Within the supportive climate, children grow to become engaged and motivated learners who are ready to take on formal schooling.
A strong emphasis is placed on creating a nurturing and warm environment that impacts learning positively and helps children form trusting relationships with others. Ongoing communication with parents, including verbal interaction during drop-offs and pick-ups, is maintained. The goal is to ensure that every child leaves Baby Playhouse as a happy, enthusiastic and confident learner who is ready to embrace the next chapter in their learning journey.
