Our Curriculum

At SDM Childcare centre, learning experiences are closely linked to the Nurturing Early Learners (NEL) - A Curriculum Framework developed by the Ministry of Education, Singapore, with specific meaningful contexts for children to construct knowledge and make sense of the world around them. The following six key learning areas as depicted below are acquired in a progressive approach with increased breadth, depth, and complexity throughout their preschool years

Social and Emotional Development

We help children to become more sensitive to the needs of others and to develop respect for those around them. We guide them in developing the necessary social skills to establish meaningful relationships with adults and peers, and to work cooperatively as a group.

Discovery of the World

To help children make sense of the world we are living in, we engage them in various project topics that facilitate their thinking process. A project is an in-depth investigation of a topic that is of interest to the children.

Language and Literacy

Children at SDM Child care centres are part of a holistic literacy programme (English and Mandarin) where they are actively involved in reading, writing, listening and speaking. The preschool adopts a creative, multi-sensory approach towards introducing phonics.

Numeracy

Numeracy is a part of everyday life at SDM Childcare centres. Children are involved in a wide range of meaningful experiences using concrete materials to explore their mathematical world to aid their understanding.

Aesthetics and creative expression

Aesthetics and creative expression is an integral component at SDM Child Care. Children are encouraged to explore, create and express themselves through art, dance, dramatisation, music and movement activities.

Motor skills development

Motor skills development incorporates gross motor, fine motor, manipulative skills, balance, coordination, locomotion, strength, fitness and outdoor play activities. Acquisition of these skills and attributes are an integral part of a child’s overall developmental growth. Children will be involved in different types of movement activities daily. We have a range of outdoor equipment and outdoor area for activities, games, a sand pit for digging and a playground.
