Milly (8), Will (6) and Claudia (4)
We have happily been a part of the Australian International School preschool for
the six years we have been in Singapore. Millie and Will both spent two years in the
preschool, and Claudia is now in her second year.
The kids tell us their highlights are exploring in the big playground, the huge number
of options at playtime, cooking, the preschool family picnic day and their beloved
teacher. We appreciate that most of the teachers have been there longer than we
have, that they do a great job at making a big preschool seem small, and that being
part of the bigger school makes the transition to preparatory school very smooth.
The enthusiastic and hard-working professional staff are experts at nurturing
individuality, enabling creative thinking and encouraging self-expression. The Reggio
Emilia-inspired, IB curriculum is child-led and adaptable, and does not separate
learning from play. The daily Mandarin lessons have also proven to be very popular
with our kids. They seem to have fun while they learn.
The purpose-built learning environment is amazing. Besides a large and well-
equipped playground, there are a number of smaller outdoor play areas, an indoor
enquiry centre, indoor play areas, a kitchen and a large pod for preschool assemblies
and concerts.
Our kids have loved every day they have gone to the AIS preschool. It made Millie
and Will well prepared and confident to tackle the challenges of ‘big school’, as we
are sure Claudia will be. We will miss being part of the preschool family next year!
