and Morgan (5)

Our children joined TCP

from 18 months. We chose the

school for its open space, broad ethnic mix of students and

philosophy of teaching through play. Our kids love their friends

and teachers, and enjoy the weekly show-and-tell sessions, water

play, and the sandpits and trikes in the playground. They also love

science lessons and experiments conducted by the teachers. One

experiment that stood out was ice-cream making; I remember my

children (at age five) telling me detailed instructions of how they

made the ice cream, all from memory!

A WORD FROM

THE SCHOOL

The Children’s Place offers

an experiential, interactive

and child-centred curriculum.

Our integrated bilingual

programme makes Mandarin

learning effective and fun,

while a strong visual arts

programme, and activities like

cooking, science, drama and

dance enrich the curriculum

further.
