Curriculum Framework

The Bina Bangsa Preschool Curriculum encompasses the areas stipulated in both the Singapore Kindergarten Curriculum Framework (KCF) and the United Kingdom’s Early Years Foundation Years (EYFS).

Bina Bangsa Preschool offers an integrated English-Mandarin bilingual four-year programme for children from the ages of 2 to 6 years.

All core curriculum classes are primarily taught in English. The Mandarin language is introduced in incremental stages through nursery to kindergarten. It is the belief, based on academic research findings, that children pick up on language skills better if they are exposed to the language at a young age. Our concept of nurturing lifelong learners in young children derive from the basic beliefs and principles of the i-LEARN philosophy.

The letter ‘i’ denotes the humble child and ‘LEARN’ denotes young children]s curiosity and desire to learn.
