Building the right foundation from Playgroup (PG)
By now, you probably have a clearer sense of what Primary 1 entails — not just academically, but also in terms of social and emotional readiness. With that in mind, the next question many parents ask is:
How can we nurture and empower our child to build a strong foundation right from Playgroup (PG)?
The truth is, building this foundation takes time.
Meaningful growth doesn’t happen overnight — it’s nurtured through the right environment, guidance, and encouragement. Among the leading options, MindChamps Preschool stands out for its strong focus on Primary 1 readiness. Its approach blends structure and joy, helping children develop a genuine love for learning while building the essential skills they’ll need for school and beyond.
Through its robust bilingual curriculum, MindChamps nurtures:
✅ Confidence
✅ Communication
✅ Public-speaking skills
— all key qualities that prepare children not just for Primary 1, but for a lifetime of learning success.
“Here I Come, P1” programme
Every MindChamps K2 child takes part in the signature “Here I Come, P1!” programme in the final two terms — a hands-on experience that mirrors real Primary 1 routines and expectations. MindChamps is also the only preschool where teachers, regardless of previous qualification or experience, undergo up to 200 hours of compulsory training and accreditation. This ensures that your child’s mind is nurtured by superbly qualified and dedicated teachers.
Parent Reviews:
“Both of our children have been here from PG to K2… the teachers helped to build up their confidence. We’re happy to see them move on to Primary School as confident individuals.” — Mr & Mrs Lim, Parents of Abrielle and Dayen Lim
“MindChamps JTC is a second home to Nathan… by end of K2, he is able to write in sentences, read an entire book independently & speak articulately.” — Connie Wong, Parent of Nathan (K2, 2017)
Here’s how MindChamps’ P1 Readiness Programme compares with other preschools.
| Readiness Area | MindChamps | Others |
| Curriculum Design | Designed by global education experts to align with MOE P1 outcomes; strong English, Math, Chinese + inquiry-based learning. | General early childhood framework focused on play + basics. |
| P1 Transition Programme | Unique “Here I Come, P1!” theme simulates classroom settings, routines, timetables, independence skills. | Generic “primary readiness” themes; few simulate actual classroom routines. |
| Chinese Language Proficiency | Comprehensive bilingual programme with dedicated Chinese enrichment. | Often limited to basic conversational exposure. |
| Confidence & Communication | Integrated performing arts, reading and presentation programmes. | Confidence often developed informally during play/social time. |
| Parental Engagement | Regular updates, conferences, and practical P1-at-home workshops. | Communication varies; may rely on termly reports. |
