Who is Nursery 2 & Kindergarten for?

Nursery 2 - Seekers

At four years old, your child is naturally curious and eager to inquire about the world around them. At this stage, our Nursery 2 curriculum channels that innate curiosity into meaningful discovery. We guide your child in finding answers and satisfying their curiosities, fostering early critical thinking. Through engaging interactions and guided exploration, we help your child develop the confidence needed for a lifelong journey of learning.

As “Thinkers,” children begin to engage in higher-order thinking that builds upon their prior knowledge and expands their horizons. Our kindergarten childcare provides ample opportunities for your little one to analyse, evaluate, and communicate their growing knowledge. Activities are designed to challenge their cognitive abilities and encourage independent thought through constructive play. It is a time when they blossom into articulate, confident learners ready to tackle complex ideas.

Our private kindergarten in Singapore empowers children to step into the role of “Inventors,” creating fresh ideas and perspectives. Your child will explore and experiment through STEAM activities (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math) and imaginative play, gaining a deeper understanding of the world around them. This journey of innovation sharpens their social-emotional skills and prepares them for the academic transition ahead.

What Are the Benefits of Enrolling in Our Nursery 2 + Kindergarten Programme?

Fostering Social & Emotional Growth

In our private kindergarten, children learn to navigate complex social dynamics. By encouraging empathy and cooperation, we nurture their emotional intelligence, helping them understand feelings and build meaningful connections. It creates a safe space where friendships blossom, and children learn to support one another.

Our Kindergarten curriculum sharpens young minds through engaging challenges. Children strengthen their literacy skills and numeracy skills while learning bilingualism early. Such exposure enhances cognitive flexibility and problem-solving abilities, ensuring they are well-prepared for the academic landscape in Singapore.

Beyond academics, we plant the seeds for resilience. We encourage your children to view challenges as opportunities rather than obstacles, cultivating a growth mindset. These essential life skills ensure they sprout into adaptable, confident learners ready for the future.

Play remains a powerful teacher even in kindergarten. Our programme guides children through various stages of play, seamlessly weaving in structured lessons. It ensures that while they grasp complex concepts, their natural zest for discovery remains ignited.

We empower children to take ownership of their actions and choices. Through positive discipline, educators guide them to understand boundaries and solve problems independently. A growing sense of autonomy boosts self-esteem, helping them stand tall in any environment.

What is the Nursery 2 & Kindergarten Teacher: Child Ratio in Singapore?

At Little Oxford Schoolhouse, we believe that a healthy teacher-to-child ratio is essential for providing exceptional educational experiences. By maintaining class sizes significantly smaller than Singapore’s Early Childhood Development Agency’s (ECDA) recommendations, we ensure that every child at our private kindergarten receives the focused support they need to flourish.

For our Nursery 2 programme, we maintain a nurturing ratio of 1:9, offering far more individual attention than the recommended 1:15. As children progress to Kindergarten 1 and 2, we uphold a 1:15 ratio, meeting the national standards of 1:20 and 1:25, respectively. This ensures we continue to give our students dedicated attention as they engage with our curriculum.

We uphold this standard of intimate care across all our programmes, from infant care and playgroup right through to Kindergarten. With fewer students per teacher, our educators have more time to connect with each child, understand their unique learning styles, and scaffold their development effectively.

This allows for a more personalised and responsive learning journey in our childcare curriculum, where no child is left behind.

Frequently Asked Questions about Our Nursery 2 & Kindergarten Curriculum in Singapore

How do I know if my child is ready for Nursery 2 and Kindergarten?

Children generally move to Nursery 2 around the age of four, when they begin to show a deeper curiosity about their surroundings and a desire for more complex interactions. You might notice they are asking more “why” and “how” questions, enjoying group play, or showing an interest in numbers and letters. Every child blooms at their own pace, so we encourage you to speak with our educators to discuss your child’s unique readiness.
We view parents as essential partners in the “F.I.G.” (Family-Individual-Growth) journey. While we foster independence in the classroom, we warmly welcome parents to join us for festive celebrations, parent-teacher conferences, and specific school events. We believe that strong connections between home and school create the most nurturing environment for your child to flourish.

Our Nursery 2 and Kindergarten sessions are structured to balance academic readiness with purposeful play. A typical day may include:

  • Dual-language immersion (English and Mandarin)
  • Inquiry-based project work and STEAM explorations
  • Outdoor play and physical development
  • Interactive storytelling and drama
  • Collaborative group activities to build social skills


We also ensure dedicated time for wholesome meals, rest, and routine care to support their well-being.

We curate our classrooms with open-ended materials that spark creativity and problem-solving. Instead of single-function toys, you will find natural materials, construction sets, art supplies, and sensory stations. These tools encourage children to become “Inventors” and “Thinkers,” allowing them to manipulate their environment and construct their own understanding of concepts during play.
Even at ages four to six, starting a new school can feel like a big step. Our educators are trained to handle these transitions with great sensitivity and warmth. We work closely with you to create a gentle drop-off routine that builds trust. By providing a secure and engaging environment, we find that children quickly settle in, replacing anxiety with the joy of new friendships and discovery.
