A Curriculum that Emphasises Holistic Development

Children learn best when they are actively involved in the learning process.

That’s why our curriculum focuses on creating experiences that support emotional, physical, and cognitive development.

children gain holistic growth and a love for lifelong learning with preschool enrichment classes

Bilingual Immersion in English & Mandarin

One of the most effective ways to acquire a language is to use it naturally in everyday life.

Instead of memorising vocabulary from a list, your child will hear, speak, sing, read, and play in both English and Mandarin throughout the day. This way, children will learn to move comfortably between both languages because they are using them as part of their daily experiences.

As they grow, they will also be introduced to Higher Chinese as they grow, allowing them to develop a deeper appreciation of the language while strengthening literacy skills that will support them for the years ahead.

expose children to holistic development by starting enrichment classes

Experiential Learning

Hands-on experiences provide opportunities for children to investigate, make predictions, and solve problems. Rather than simply learning concepts, we encourage them to put what they learn into practice through engaging activities such as:

  • Using play money
  • Measuring ingredients
  • Experimenting with a weighing scale

By connecting learning with real-life experiences, children begin to take ownership of their learning — an ability that can stay with them long after preschool.

children can practice creative self expression with writing or speech and drama classes

Speech and Drama

At Viv’s Schoolhouse, we provide a space where children can express ideas without fear. Through storytelling and role-play, your child will learn how to communicate clearly and with confidence.

In small class sizes, our teachers genuinely know each child’s personality and can provide gentle encouragement tailored to every child’s comfort level. One child may begin by speaking to a partner, then progress to a small group, before eventually stepping onto the stage for a performance.

Improvisation is also an important part of our classes, giving children opportunities to exercise their creativity while ensuring that they are appropriately challenged.

With this gradual, personalised support, we aim to help children find their voice so they can navigate everyday situations with confidence as they grow into proud global citizens.

Enrichment Programmes that Expand Worldviews

While our curriculum establishes strong academic foundations, we also encourage children to discover new interests and develop skills beyond the classroom.

Our enrichment programmes are intentionally chosen to complement their everyday learning, introducing new challenges while keeping curiosity at the centre of every experience.

learning a new language has a positive impact on the brain and leads to cognitive improvements

Conversational Japanese

Our Japanese Conversational Language Classes are taught by native Japanese instructors to provide children with an authentic learning experience.

Through stories, everyday conversation, and interactive games, children learn the basics of practical Japanese. Over time, greetings, colours, numbers, and everyday expressions become part of their growing vocabulary.

Beyond language itself, they’ll develop greater cultural awareness and become more comfortable communicating across different cultures, languages, and experiences!

Coding Class

At Viv’s Schoolhouse, we are proud to partner with Kodecoon Academy to deliver high-quality coding and robotics lessons designed for young learners.

As an internationally recognised STEM education provider with accreditation from Education Alliance Finland, Kodecoon Academy brings hands-on technology education into the preschool environment.

Matata: Coding You Can Touch

Through Matata lessons, children develop a solid foundation in coding through tactile learning rather than relying on screens. As they build with physical coding blocks, experiment, and make adjustments along the way, abstract concepts become more concrete and easier to understand.

During Matata classes, children will:

  • Create simple coding sequences using hands-on building blocks

  • Guide robots through interactive challenges

  • Explore sequencing, direction, and logical thinking through play

  • Test different solutions and refine ideas

Each activity encourages your child to think step by step, celebrate small wins, and gain confidence in what they have accomplished!

Robotics Junior: Where Stories Meet Robots

Robotics Junior lets kids discover the art of robots and engineering through storytelling. Through imaginative adventures, children work together to build simple robots, investigate how different components work together, and solve age-appropriate challenges using creativity and teamwork.

In this programme, children will have the opportunity to:

  • Build and explore beginner-friendly robotic models
  • Discover sensors and simple engineering concepts that bring robots to life
  • Collaborate with classmates to solve story-based challenges
  • Strengthen critical thinking, creativity, and perseverance through hands-on exploration.

By combining coding, robotics, and collaborative learning, preschoolers begin to see technology as something they can understand, create, and shape with their own ideas.

Multi-Sports Programme

Our multi-sports programme with Ready Steady Go Kids introduces children to a variety of sports in a fun and supportive environment.

As Australia’s largest multi-sport programme for preschoolers, Ready Steady Go Kids has supported children’s physical development since 2004, with its Singapore programme running since 2012.

Rather than focusing on perfecting one particular sport or competing, children build confidence in fundamental movement skills through guided play. The sports and movement activities introduced during these sessions help develop:

  • Gross motor skills
  • Hand-eye and foot-eye coordination
  • Balance and control
  • Teamwork and confidence

With trained and experienced coaches, children can safely try new activities while developing a positive relationship with sports from an early age.

Weiqi

Weiqi, also known as Go, is one of the world’s oldest strategy games. Our programme introduces children to this traditional game through simple, age-appropriate lessons.

Beyond strategically placing stones on the board and recognising patterns, each session gives your child an opportunity to understand how different decisions can lead to different outcomes.

Through fun and guided play, preschoolers will learn:

  • Strategic thinking
  • Problem-solving skills
  • Focus and patience
  • Decision-making
  • Social skills and good sportsmanship

With plenty of hands-on play and encouragement, Weiqi can give your child another way to develop critical-thinking skills.

With every game, children have a safe space to slow down, think carefully, and discover different ways to approach strategy!

Swimming

At Viv’s Schoolhouse, children can learn at our very own swimming pool on school premises, making it easier to develop swimming abilities with regular practice.

All swimming lessons are led by coaches certified by the Singapore Sport Council, Austswim, and the Swimming Teacher’s Association. Rest assured, your child will receive guidance from trained professionals as they learn at an age-appropriate pace in a safe environment.

During these sessions, preschoolers can gradually become more comfortable in the water while practicing fundamental swimming skills, such as:

  • Water confidence through guided activities and weekly pool time
  • Basic swimming techniques introduced according to age and ability
  • Coordination and movement through simple, structured exercises

With the convenience of an on-site pool and weekly classes, children can make swimming a familiar part of their preschool experience while developing a foundation in water abilities!

An Education that Encourages Children to Discover their Potential

At Viv’s Schoolhouse, we want to give children meaningful opportunities that feel both exciting and purposeful.

Our curriculum and enrichment programmes work together to complement your child’s preschool journey.

Each class is designed to feel more like play than additional schoolwork, while inspiring curiosity, building self-esteem, and helping children develop skills that can support them in primary school and prepare them for future success — one engaging activity at a time.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I enrol my child in more than one enrichment programme?

Yes! As a welcome offer, new sign-ups can enjoy one free enrichment programme for their first 10 months.

For preschoolers, we recommend enrolling your child in 1 to 2 enrichment classes. If your child is keen to explore more than one interest, you’re welcome to enrol them in additional programmes for an additional fee!

2. Which enrichment programme is suitable for my child?

Each enrichment programme is designed to support different stages of your child’s personal development.

Younger children may benefit from classes that focus on building foundational skills, such as Conversational Japanese or the Multi-sports Programme. As they grow, they can explore activities that encourage deeper problem-solving and creativity at Coding Class or Weiqi.

I believe it was a good decision to send my daughter to Viv's Schoolhouse. She has much better control of her emotions and learned many skills after joining Viv's Schoolhouse... Looking forward to more progress in the future! Thank you for the care and concern teachers!

Our daughter attended Viv's and she had a blast. The school's curriculum is very holistic and it is one of the reasons we were drawn to it. They are one of the few pre schools that have their own dedicated curriculum specialist. Teachers here are warm and lovely, we felt at ease as parents with the constant updates and the way our daughter interacted with the teachers. There are too many things to highlight but the monthly excursions, Japanese classes, and swimming classes are something you can look forward to that are not that found in other schools. Thank you for being a great institution for our family!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We are truly grateful to Viv School House for preparing our child, Tiffany so well for Primary 1. The teachers are caring, patient, and very dedicated, and the curriculum is thoughtfully planned to build confidence and strong foundations. What really impressed us is how aligned their teaching is with primary school expectations. We were happy to learn that P1 will include Show & Tell for English lesson and Pinyin for Mandarin lesson. Viv has already been exposing the children to these concepts, making the transition much smoother and less stressful. My child has grown not only academically but also in confidence and communication skills. Thank you Viv School House for creating such a supportive and nurturing environment. Highly recommended to parents looking for a preschool that truly prepares children for the next stage of learning! 💕

My child has been with this school for nearly two years. I like that the school provides regular updates and organizes meaningful activities, not just academic lessons. They have monthly field trips and even visits to old folks’ homes. The extra-curricular programs also fit my needs well — swimming, robotics, and Japanese classes — so I don’t have to send my child to other classes on weekends.

Our daughter was previously at one of the leading premium preschools, but we felt their entire approach was commercially driven and lacked genuine care for the children. When we were looking for a new school, while the program was important, what truly mattered was the quality of the teachers and management. After meeting with the school owner and visiting the facility, I was quickly convinced that my child would be in good hands and decided to transfer her, despite a much longer commute. I have been proven right. We have no issues with drop-offs; she genuinely enjoys going to school, loves her teachers and friends, and looks forward to the monthly school excursions and special event celebrations. The school also provides optional curriculum classes such as swimming and sports. We've signed her up for these, as they are perfect for working parents like us, saving us time sending her to external classes. Additionally, the teachers and principal are always reachable and responsive whenever we have queries. At the end of each term, we have a Parent-Teacher Meeting where we are updated on our child's progress and learning. We are so grateful to them for taking the time, on top of their usual workload, to maintain close communication with us at all times, all in the interest of our child's development Choosing this preschool has been one of the best decisions we've made for our daughter's early education, and we highly recommend it

Highly recommended for parents who are looking for an all rounded preschool for their kids . Viv’s schoolhouse exceeded all aspects of our expectations for a preschool. We joined Viv’s early March this year . We have to change our girl’s school who is in N2 this year as we moved quite a distance away (30mins drive) . Initially we enrolled her into another school in Potong Pasir through a friend’s recommendation. But she refused school and was literally crying for the whole month . After trying for a whole month , we actually gave up and withdrew her as we find the school not a good fit for her . I found Viv’s through some recommendations from Facebook and I actually texted some of the parents whose child/children are in the school to get the most genuine reviews . With many positive reviews , we went for the school tour . We are surprised that this school actually offered us a 3days no obligation free trial . That shows how confident they are with the kids . I shared with them my concerns and the difficulties we are facing at that moment. (My girl actually developed some phobia for school after one month of crying there) A pleasant surprise: She walked into the school happily on her 3rd day ( still during the trial period ) . Haha .. I guess this is what many parents hoped for . No crying , no whining , no drama ! So, we enrolled her in without second thoughts . Bonus : This school is actually pretty advance in terms of academic. We are pretty surprised that she learned addition and subtraction in just two months time . Overall we are very pleased with the school and teachers (eps Teacher Joanne). My girl love her so much ! Thank you for all the support and patience towards Carys . Appreciate it !

My child had such a wonderful time at Viv’s Schoolhouse! The teachers were so caring and it was evident in the way they interacted with him. We were only there for a short time, but my child learned so much. He’s grown to be more independent and is not as hesitant to approach and play with other children. It was such a joy to watch him blossom. There was also an excellent range of activities; ensuring the kids are engaged and interested every day. Another bonus is my normally picky eater loved everything they served! I highly recommend Viv’s Schoolhouse and wish we were able to spend more time there. 💙 We are missing everyone already!!
