Ready for Their Learning Adventure?
Welcome to Joyful Tots! We provide a nurturing child care, preschool and kindergarten that balances academic preparation with fun and creativity. Here are the different levels that we provide.
Infant Care
(Age 2 months – 17 months)
Our infant care programme is designed to give your little ones the care and attention they deserve. With a 1:3 staff-to-infant ratio, your child will receive personalised care to help them develop emotionally, socially, and physically. In a safe and stimulating environment, our focus is on sensory development, motor skills, and building a sense of security through warm, responsive interactions.
Where Exploration Begins
Pre-Nursery
(Age 18 months – 3 years)
As children grow, their curiosity blooms. Our Pre-Nursery curriculum introduces your child to structured routines while encouraging learning through exploration and play. With a low 1:8 teacher-to-child ratio, we provide an engaging environment that fosters social skills, language development, and motor coordination. Each level / class has its own dedicated English and Chinese language teachers.
Building Foundations for the Future
Nursery 1 & 2
(Age 3 – 4 years)
In N1 and N2, we blend play-based learning with academic preparation. Our curriculum, closely aligned with the MOE syllabus, develops early literacy, numeracy, and cognitive skills. Your child will transition smoothly from play to more structured academic activities, with personalised attention from a 1:10 staff-to-child ratio. Our teachers work closely with parents to ensure each child’s progress is closely monitored and encouraged.
Preparing for Primary 1
Kindergarten 1 & 2
(Age 5 – 6 years)
At Joyful Tots, we ensure that your child is confident and well-prepared for Primary 1. Kindergarten 1 and 2 focus on academic readiness, enhancing their literacy, numeracy, and problem-solving skills. Our bilingual curriculum equips children with strong communication skills in both English and Chinese. We provide a seamless transition from preschool to primary education, ensuring they’re not just ready but excited for the next chapter of learning.
