Lorna Whiston Preschools are located both on the West and East coast, offering easy access for families across the island and flexible programmes from 7am to 7pm weekdays, and Saturday mornings. Both locations have been carefully selected for their safe and environmentally sound position either in the woody idyllic environs of Winchester, or the visually stunning waterside location of Kallang Wave Mall.
Our focus is to provide positive early learning experiences in the right environment to encourage children to explore and discover, question and create, and instil a lifelong love of learning.
Lorna Whiston Preschool in Winchester, is set in an idyllic location in a beautiful old black and white building with extensive outdoor play areas. Since 2003 our preschool leased in Winchester has a span of over 38,000 sq ft with a total of 10 classrooms. Located off York Road, the preschool is located within Alexander, an industrial heavy district in Singapore. Our children are nestled in beautiful greenery and nature. You will find different learning centres in each of our classrooms to enhance your child’s learning experience.
Established in 1980, Lorna Whiston has built a reputation for high quality education and teaching excellence across Singapore with our heritage preschools. Accepting children from 18 months to six years old, Lorna Whiston Preschools are committed to providing a safe and stimulating bilingual learning environment where children are happy, motivated and eager to learn. As a young teacher, Lorna taught in the UK before focusing upon preschool education in Singapore by opening her first Lorna Whiston School, with the aim of improving the standard of English language amongst Singaporean students. Over the years, the demand for quality English teaching has grown and so have our preschools. With an unwavering commitment to excellence, we aspire to ensure our children get the very best in terms of educational opportunities, making a difference to the lives of Singaporean children island-wide. Lorna Whiston Preschools was recently awarded the best preschool in Singapore for its bilingual education programs.
At Lorna Whiston Preschools, we offer a stimulating, positive and nurturing learning environment which we know is the key to creating happy, motivated children who are eager to learning. By providing an interactive learning environment, children develop the confidence to explore and discover, question and create. This positive hands-on approach to learning is crucial in the formative years, when children’s first experiences at school can shape their whole future attitude towards learning.
Our approach to teaching is first and foremost through exploration and discovery. Children engage in active learning experiences that ensure they truly understand the skills and concepts being taught. All subjects are integrated, allowing our young learners to understand the connection between individual subjects and make links with the world around them.
By the time our young learners graduate at the end of Kindergarten 2, they are well prepared to deal with the academic demands of primary school and have a strong linguistic advantage across English and Mandarin, having been through our Bilingual Immersion Programme.
We believe that language is an intrinsic tool for learning. It enables children to think, and to learn about the world around them, from cultural practices in the home or community, to the academic content of the classroom. Lorna Whiston Preschools has developed a unique Bilingual Immersion Programme that enables even our very youngest learners to communicate effectively in both English and Mandarin. Our pioneering model of providing full bilingual immersion to all preschool students has been frequently replicated but never surpassed, due to our unwavering commitment ensuring an English speaking teacher and a Mandarin speaking teacher in each classroom, at all times.
The development of our preschool students is at the centre of everything we do. Our syllabus and approach to learning focuses primarily on the needs of the children. We encourage our classes to be actively engaged in the learning process, rather than passive recipients of knowledge, and we scaffold their learning carefully, so that each child becomes increasingly independent.
Our Vision: Transforming lives through learning.
Confidence starts with language, and at Lorna Whiston we commit ourselves to quality. We aim to transform lives through exceptional learning experiences for students, and strive to build upon our reputation in order to become the most relevant, respected, customer-centred and successful educational institution of its kind in the region, increasing our market share in the process.
At Lorna Whiston, we have five core values that shape all aspects of our business and inform every decision we make:
