Kinderland's Foundation and Growth

The seeds of Kinderland's success were sown in 1978 when Yamaha Music School Singapore launched its first kindergarten project.

Over the years, Kinderland has steadily expanded its operations which now include a regional network of over 30 established direct and franchise centers, a teachers training institute in early childhood education with over 5000 graduates and alliances with overseas universities.

Kinderland is committed towards excellence in preschool education, teacher's training and parent education programs. The Kinderland Curriculum is supported by a well-qualified professional team with doctoral and masters degrees in the field.

THE KINDERLAND PHILOSOPHY

We believe .

• that every child is special and unique;
• that a child is a natural learner who enjoys learning and thrives on stimulating and challenging daily experiences with peers and adults;
• that a child needs to develop self confidence, independence and a sense of responsibility which are crucial to healthy, all-round development;
• that a child needs to experience success at his/her level and rate of development;
• that a child is a sensitive, feeling and thinking individual who thrives in an enriched environment where caring and understanding adults are responsive to his/her needs;
• that every child deserves the opportunity to benefit from a comprehensive Early Childhood Program based on current knowledge of child development.

OUR OBJECTIVES

• To provide quality Pre-School and educational services.
• To enhance the social, physical, emotional, moral, creative, and intellectual development of a child
• To encourage parents' involvement in the education of their children
• To participate in community services

The curriculum, developed by Kinderland's team of child development and education specialists and overseas consultants, is both comprehensive and challenging.
