Shaws Preschool - Mountbatten Campus

Established in 1989, we run the first play and activity based preschools in Singapore. Our classes cater to children from 18 months to six years. Shaws believes play is one of the most effective approaches for preschool children to gain academic knowledge and essential life skills.

The ShawsPlay curriculum combines inquiry-based learning and play-based approaches. Our teachers step back to let students take the lead on a subject and help them explore the subject further in an engaging way. We provide children with a fun environment to enjoy learning as we prepare them for formal school, and inspire them to stay curious, develop creativity, and never stop learning.

Shaws Preschool was conceived with a clear objective in mind—to provide a different type of preschool education in Singapore. One which no longer had boring lessons or top down teaching. That was why we established the first preschool in Singapore that emphasised play as a learning experience.

Our lessons are carefully planned to encourage your children to express themselves, work as a team, explore topics and most importantly have fun! Your child will be well prepared for later schooling—and life—with the care of our dedicated, trained and professional staff.

We are one of the first play based preschools in Singapore. For the past 30 years, our child care centres and kindergartens have offered premium early childhood education that observes SPARK guidelines and is premised on learning through play and adventure. Together with our ECDA certified teachers, our preschools in Singapore will help your child’s development by:

• Empowering them to research any topic that interests them
• Imbuing them with essential life skills such as self-confidence, resilience, speech coherence and respect for others
• Instilling a passion for learning
• Preparing them for later stages of schooling and life

We ignite wonder, excitement and laughter in your children by bringing stories to life. our progressive classes ensure that your child can read and write by K2, with never a dull moment during our play-based english classes!

We help your child love Mandarin from an early age, giving them a huge advantage later in life! Our experienced teachers introduce Mandarin in a fun way—through songs, stories, and cultural learning experiences (Pre Nursery) to reading and writing Mandarin (Nursery Two onwards).

Children learn best through active play. We partner with Shaws Little League to provide sports coaching twice a week to teach your child motor skills and nurture intrinsic values such as teamwork, resilience, communication and discipline in a safe, fun and educational environment.
