PRE-SCHOOLS
White Lodge Kindergarten
Sofia Barrios (Venezuelan) and Jose Leon (Costa Rican)
Isabella (4) and Diego (2)
Both Isabella and Diego have attended White Lodge at Upper
Bukit Timah since they were 18months old, and our experience
has been amazing. We heard about the school through a
neighbour, a recommendation in
Expat Living
and by generally
asking around. We decided to enrol the children there because it’s
a school that balances everything: clean facilities, good teachers,
a great programme, stimulating activities and engagement with
the parents.
The kids don’t spend the whole day in one place: they rotate
through an indoor play area, an outdoor area with a roof, a music
and movement area and a painting area. There are also frequent
activities for parents; we enjoy these and feel very attached to the
school and the teachers.
Isabella had a six-month break from White Lodge to attend
another school, because we needed her to be in full-time school
when Diego was born. This gave us the opportunity to compare
the two schools. When she returned to White Lodge, the first thing
she said was, “I love White Lodge; please, Mummy, don’t send
me to the other school again.”
The weekly Friday bulletin is one of our favourite things: it
includes lots of pictures of the kids with their friends and the
activities they have been involved in for the week. We are really
pleased with White Lodge. It was a great decision to enrol our
kids there.
Isabella says: “I love the indoor play,
because I can have fun in the kitchen,
dress up, or read in the library corner,
and there are cars, dolls and dinosaurs.
I love dressing up as a princess!”
Whitelodge has kindergartens at eight locations.
