Our teachers are trained to incorporate the S.M.I.L.E.S.™ elements into PreSchool lessons, activities and games, including Mandarin classes, which enables them to provide a holistic learning experience for your child.
How We Bring Our Preschool Curriculum to Life
At MindChamps PreSchool, your child will be actively involved in the learning process, which helps to develop their thinking skills.
Classes are conducted in small groups, allowing teachers to address questions that result from the learning process. For example, questions arising during reading activities can be extended to another exploration. Along the way, your child and his/her peers will also have the opportunity to reflect on the challenges faced during games or activities, and how they worked together to resolve them. This allows preschoolers to truly understand what it means to give and take as they collaborate to problem-solve together, especially during critical-thinking exercises such as math activities.
Through our unique Enquiry Teaching and Learning™ approach, we help to foster your child’s curiosity about the topics of discussion by encouraging him/her to ask questions that will lead to enquiry exploration. Our teachers facilitate lessons and activities whilst allowing the children to explore the various sides and possibilities to a question. Teachers also observe the interests of the children and plan their lessons and activities accordingly, incorporating the S.M.I.L.E.S.™ elements to provide a holistic learning experience.

Our Curriculum Framework
Core Modules
Developed by a team of early literacy experts, this module focuses on developing your child’s early literacy skills through a selection of fun and interactive activities to keep him/her engaged in reading and writing.
Preschoolers in Playgroup and Nursery 1 will be introduced to the basics of literacy skills before they progress to key skills such as phonemic and phonological awareness in Nursery 2 and beyond through our unique “Say and Sing” approach.
With a wide range of quality literature to choose from, your child will have the opportunity to learn and explore through stories. Fun with Language™ is designed to nurture your child into a highly successful reader, writer and storyteller by making reading fun and enjoyable.
This programme focuses on developing and enhancing your child’s Chinese language communication skills, particularly in listening, speaking, reading and writing. Through fun and interactive lessons, your child will be exposed to drama, games, rhymes, chants, songs, music and movement to deepen his/her understanding of the elements of the Chinese language. With practice and a lot of encouragement, your child will be empowered with the confidence to communicate in Chinese in his/her day-to-day life.
Enquiry Teaching and Learning™ is a unique approach developed by MindChamps PreSchool that encourages children to be curious about subject topics and ask questions that will lead to an enquiry exploration.
Lessons start off with the teacher asking the children questions and then taking in their responses to lead the class into an enquiry teaching and learning process. Upon observing the children’s interests, the teacher will plan lessons that allow the children to explore new ideas while developing their thinking skills. The teacher will also make sure that lessons planned incorporate the S.M.I.L.E.S.™ elements and meet the interests and learning needs of different children.
To build a solid foundation in Maths during the early years, our Numeracy Strategies™ programme focuses on helping your child build an understanding of numerical concepts. Your child will be introduced to mathematical concepts through physical grouping and counting exercises, musical pre-numeracy activities as well as hands-on activities that involve calculating and experimenting with combinations of money denominations.
MindChamps Music is the synthesis of more than 40 years of research by MindChamps Dean of Music-in-Education, Emeritus Professor Larry Scripp, together with the renowned MindChamps 3-Mind education model (developed by our Chancellor and Chair of Research, Emeritus Professor Allan Snyder, FRS). The breakthrough music programme activates every area of the brain, integrating music, multiple literacies, numeracy and social and emotional development to nurture the “Genius Potential” in your child.
What’s more, the programme is patent pending in the U.S.A, Singapore, United Kingdom and Australia, something that is almost unheard of in the education industry!

Enrichment Modules
MindChamps Music has achieved a historic first by attaining patent status across three territories – the US (Patent No: 11,790,800), UK (Patent No: GB2607416), and Australia (Patent No: 2022202096).
This breakthrough programme draws on fundamental concepts shared between five literacies: Numerical, Language, Social, Emotional and Musical, and functions as a bridge and a catalyst to the development of other literacies. In other words, instead of the traditional method of teaching subjects such as numeracy, language and social skills in separate silos, this MindChamps Music takes an interdisciplinary approach, developing shared fundamental concepts across numerous subjects which leads to greater understanding.
A three-year empirical research study conclusively demonstrated that MindChamps Music enabled students to achieve significant improvements in scores on internationally recognised measures of language literacy (ToPEL) and numeracy (TEMA).
These results have attracted the interest of major universities, including the University of South Australia (UniSA), which has already commenced the next phase of study on the programme.
Creativity and Theatrical Strategies™ incorporate expertly crafted theatrical principles to engage your child’s mind and bring every aspect of the curriculum to life. Through practical creative and theatrical activities, your child is encouraged to use his/her imagination and creative thinking skills in various contexts and scenarios within and outside the classroom.
One of the key features of this module is to tap on storytelling to lead children to ‘physically become’ characters and/or conceptual components in the story. This involves exercises where your preschool child will “step into” a variety of factual and imagined scenarios as he/she is led to respond physically, vocally, and emotionally, through his/her imagination.
To cultivate healthy eating habits from young, involving your child in food preparation and introducing him/her to different cuisines is a great first step! Gourmet Moments™ offers opportunities for your child to observe, ask questions and compare while he/she is taken through the steps to create simple, healthy dishes. Through this module, we introduce children to a wide range of ingredients and facilitate discussions on food from all over the world.
The NeuroMooves™ module is designed to enhance your child’s physical and neural development through activities that enrich their whole-brain learning experience. Through a series of specially-designed moves, your child will be equipped with the fundamental movement skills to continue to be involved in physical activity in later life, as well as the ability to regulate their mental and emotional well-being.
