The S.M.I.L.E.S.™ methodology is at the heart of MindChamps PreSchool’s curriculum, a nurturing and safe space for children to learn and explore as they develop their Sensory, Motor, Intellectual, Linguistic, Emotional and Social skills through highly experiential classroom activities.
At MindChamps PreSchool, your child will be actively involved in the learning process, which helps to develop their thinking skills.
Through our unique Enquiry Teaching and Learning™ approach, we help to foster your child’s curiosity about the topics of discussion by encouraging him/her to ask questions that will lead to enquiry exploration. Our teachers facilitate lessons and activities whilst allowing the children to explore the various sides and possibilities to a question. Teachers also observe the interests of the children and plan their lessons and activities accordingly, incorporating the S.M.I.L.E.S.™ elements to provide a holistic learning experience.
Classes are conducted in small groups, allowing teachers to address questions that result from the learning process. For example, questions arising during reading activities can be extended to another exploration. Along the way, your child and his/her peers will also have the opportunity to reflect on the challenges faced during games or activities, and how they worked together to resolve them. This allows preschoolers to truly understand what it means to give and take as they collaborate to problem-solve together, especially during critical-thinking exercises such as math activities.
For a holistic learning experience during the preschool years, we offer non-academic learning experience through our proprietary enrichment modules. These modules are included in our preschool curriculum and will be complimentary for all children enrolled in our Singapore centres.
