Dreamkids Kindergarten 3.37

“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.”
– Eleanor Roosevelt

This is what our early childhood education in Dreamkids Kindergarten is all about – inspiring dreams in our children.

Dreamkids Kindergarten is a happy bilingual (English & Chinese) preschool with a strong emphasis on building the entrepreneurship spirit and values in our children.

In Dreamkids, we believe that entrepreneurship goes beyond from just starting a business. It is about 21st Century Skills necessary to excel in the new global economy, especially with the rise of Artificial Intelligence which will redefine the work that people do. It is about the ability to create from nothing to something that adds value to the world. It is about resilience - the sheer grit to bounce back from failures to achieve the dreams they truly want. It is about empathy and social engagement – the ability to build genuine human connections. Finally, it is about believing in your vision and yourself, even when the whole world disagrees with you.

Building genuine human connections naturally – this is one key element that has become a concern, especially in the technological world where conversations are held more over mobile devices rather than face-to-face. This is why in Dreamkids, we want to teach our children to learn how to develop strong social connection to the people, from their friends and teachers in school to the community residing in the neighbourhood. When taking the short walk to the community playground and facilities for their outdoor learning and play, it is not uncommon to see our teachers and children greet different people with high-fives, and sometimes engage in small conversations with them. In some sense, Dreamkids has the biggest preschool campus in Singapore, because the neighbourhood has become our campus, and the community engaged in our children’s learning. Indeed, it takes a village to raise a child.

Fusing the best early childhood practices from Finland and Singapore, we are proud to be working with Fun Academy & University of Helsinki from Finland, to bring in the Fun Learning Concept – an early childhood education programme for children aged three to six years. It’s been created together with education professionals, teachers and researchers, who share a common desire with us – to light a lifelong spark for learning.

In Dreamkids, the child is supported and respected as an active participant in the learning process. Behind the program is the belief that play is a natural way for children to learn; therefore the learning program is built on concepts of play and fun.

“Happy Teachers, Happy Children, Happy Parents”.

In the world where information is easily available on Internet, we believe that teachers have become more of faciliators of learning and role-models for our children than just merely imparting knowledge. As such, teachers in Dreamkids must not only be highly qualified, but are truly happy early childhood educators who have dreams and are passionate about making a difference to children and the world! This is extremely important because teaching our children values such as dreams is unlike teaching ABCs or 123s where there is a structured curriculum from step one to step ten. It’s through the daily interaction and conversations with children that we influence these values to our children, and can only be done when one truly believes in these values! This is why building a strong school culture, where parents, teachers and children speak the same language and perform the same set of action!

Dreamkids Kindergarten is not your ordinary preschool. It is a preschool with a strong culture, one that will grow your child to be happy, creative, resilient and confident global citizens who dare to dream and create the change they want to see in the world.
