Adventure Tree Preschool Play & Inquiry Curriculum

Bearing in mind the importance of the early years in a child’s development, we have carefully devised a two-pronged approach for our curriculum where Adventurers will progress from Play-based learning to Inquiry-based Learning.

Through the implementation of Adventure Tree Preschool Play & Inquiry Curriculum, we use various themes to deliver a seamless integrated approach to learning by:

  • Providing meaningful experiences for children to explore, experiment and discover
  • Teaching with real life materials and exciting resources
  • Making learning come alive within and outside the classroom

The 6-Domain Approach

To ensure readiness of the children for Primary 1, our curriculum integrates the 6 core domain of the Singapore NEL curriculum framework requirement.

Our Holistic Approach

The learning outcomes are developmentally appropriate and not restrictive to what children should know and able to do at the end of their Preschool education. Exploring new interests is important for children to find things they are passionate about. Hence, Adventure Tree Preschool also encourage and expose children to various activities such as:

  • Ma Petite Cuisine – our French-inspired weekly culinary class
  • Sustainability Projects
  • STEAM – Project Based Learning
  • Eureka – Inquiry Based Explorations
