Raffles Early Childhood Center

Our organization was founded in 2004 with the objective of providing 'world class' education. Since our inception we have been proud of our 'parent centric' vision that ensures that we place the interests of our students at the core of all decisions.

The outcomes can be seen in the form of the excellent results in the final examinations of the graduating classes as well as university placements in premier institutions of the world. Such success has its foundation in our rigorous, high quality early years provision.  It is our constant endeavour to empower our students with a holistic, rigorous and international education for success in an ever-changing world. After all, their success is our success.

With 7,750+ students from more than 100 nationalities in our schools and early childhood centers’, we are a culturally rich, international community. There is unity in our diversity with collaboration between students, parents and staff towards enhancing the educational experience of our students based on our core values of Achievement, Collaboration, Integrity, Respect and Responsibility at all levels.

The three prime areas provide the foundations for all future learning – these are the key focus areas until the age of two:

• Personal, Social and Emotional Development - encouraging interaction between peers, promoting independence and resilience skills by supporting and encouraging children to do things for themselves, supporting children to solve their own problems.
• Physical Development - developing the children’s motor skills through fun and engaging activities in class. Our Specialist PE sessions provide the children with a range of skills, including Gymnastics, Dance, Swimming and Athletics.
• Communication and Language - through our language rich environments, 1:1 or in small group activities, our continuous provision and also daily phonics sessions for the older children.

The specific areas of learning provide the experiences and learning opportunities that widen the children’s knowledge and skills.

• Literacy – actively providing children with a range of opportunities to support pre-writing skills, including mark making, as well as exposing them to a variety of literature including rhymes, songs and books.
• Maths - creating a range of exciting mathematical learning opportunities both adult- led and as part of our continuous provision and subitizing. Introducing a range of mathematical concepts through play including number recognition, shape, size, pattern and sequence.
• Understanding the World – ensuring our children are provided with a wide range of hands on learning opportunities that encourage them to engage with the world around them, explore concepts, enquire and problem solve in an age and stage appropriate manner.
• Expressive Arts and Design- providing opportunities for children to experiment with a range of media and materials utilizing their natural curiosity, creativity and imagination.

Our curriculum is built around the developmental needs and interests of the children in our care – our highly qualified and skilled teaching team will plan ‘in the moment’ to ensure the relevancy of the teaching and learning in our Centre’s.

All our Early Childhood Centre’s are warm and welcoming spaces where children can explore, discover, learn and engage with the world around them.

Our Early Childhood Centres have been designed with children and families in mind! We are located in the heart of communities, with on-site parking, spacious shaded outdoor play areas and classrooms that promote playful, hands - on learning.
