Our bilingual curriculum ensures your child is confident and ready for Primary 1 through a nurturing blend of academics and play.
Curriculum Built for Your Child’s Success
Holistic Growth, Academic Readiness
At Joyful Tots, we understand the importance of setting a strong foundation for your child’s academic journey. Our curriculum is designed to closely align with the Ministry of Education (MOE) syllabus, ensuring that your child is well-prepared for the journey ahead.
Smooth Transition to Primary One
Our approach places a strong emphasis on academic readiness, particularly for Kindergarten 1 and 2 students. We map our curriculum to ensure a smooth transition to Primary 1 by gradually introducing key concepts in literacy, numeracy, and critical thinking. By the time your child completes their journey with us, they will be familiar with the fundamentals they will encounter in Primary 1.
Tailored and Balanced Learning
While academics are a priority, we understand the value of a well-rounded experience. For our younger students, we focus on play-based learning that promotes cognitive, social, and emotional growth. As children progress into Nursery 2, we gradually transition towards more academic-focused instruction while still incorporating fun, creative activities. This balance ensures that learning is both engaging and developmentally appropriate.

Our Impact, As Told by Parent
We believe in open communication and collaboration with parents, making you an integral part of your child’s educational journey.
"I have spent almost a decade with Tr Jasmine and her team. Over the years, we’ve watched our three children blossom in an environment that nurtures a growth mindset. The teachers consistently instill a “can-do” attitude in the children, teaching them that with effort and perseverance, they can overcome challenges and achieve their goals. This invaluable lesson has profoundly shaped their confidence and resilience.
The teachers genuinely care about the well-being and development of each child. My child struggled with eczema and it was the teachers who reminded us to bring his creams and shower foam to ease his itch through the day. When the children have learning or developmental challenges, the teachers work with us to explore ways to best support them.
We are deeply grateful to have found such a wonderful childcare center and would highly recommend it to any parent looking for a cozy close knit centre that brings out the best in their child."
"From the moment we walked into Joyful Tots, we knew this was the right place. Meeting Jasmine, the owner, immediately puts us at ease and cements our instincts. The teachers are incredibly kind and clearly passionate, fostering a wonderfully welcoming environment – Callum is excited about school EVERYDAY so something’s definitely done right ツ The curriculum is thoughtfully designed; it's clear they're not just going though the motion, but actively preparing him for primary school with engaging activities that build essential skills. We feel incredibly assured that Callum’s getting a fantastic head-start. Highly recommend!"
"My kids have been with the centre since 2023 and our experience has been nothing short of amazing! The teachers and principal are incredibly warm and create a supportive environment to promote academic development. The dedicated teachers consistently provide us with updates on our children's progress, giving us peace of mind. Joyful Tots offers a well-balanced curriculum that nurtures social skills and fosters a genuine love for learning. Plus, the facilities are clean, safe, and truly child-friendly. I highly recommend Joyful Tots to any parent seeking a strong educational foundation and a nurturing environment for their child!"
