Our ProgrammesOur curriculum comprises 2 flagship programmes, the HI-Light Programme and Starlight Literacy Programme for English and Mother Tongue Language (MTL). In addition, each school term at MK will conclude in a Weeks of Wonder (WoW) project. Our curriculum and programmes are based on the Nurturing Early Learners (NEL) Framework developed by MOE.
At MK, we believe preschool children are curious, active and competent learners. They’re keen to make sense of the world around them, and they learn best through active learning and purposeful play. We strive to make learning authentic and relevant for your child through activities with a distinctive Singapore flavour.

How children learnWe believe that preschool children are joyful, curious, active and competent learners and they learn, play and grow in a diverse and multi-cultural community. Preschool education should:
⭐ Promote the joy of learning so they are excited to learn and make sense of the world around them.
⭐ Nurture values, social and emotional competencies and learning dispositions so that they can adopt the right attitudes and behaviours to learn and live harmoniously with others.
⭐ Encourage active learning so they can learn by experimenting and experiencing.

Values, Social and Emotional Competencies and Learning Dispositions
It is important to nurture values, social and emotional competencies and learning dispositions in young children. These three aspects of development are core to children’s holistic development. They set the stage for character building and lifelong learning, shaping children’s attitudes, behaviours and decisions that they make in their daily interactions.
⭐ Values shape how children use the knowledge and skills they have learned; whether they act on when they should or need to. The core values are respect, responsibility, care and honesty.
⭐ Social and emotional competencies complement values by providing children with the knowledge, skills and dispositions to understand themselves and to relate positively and constructively with others. These competencies include self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship management and responsible decision-making.
⭐ Positive learning dispositions place children in good stead to embrace lifelong learning. These learning dispositions include Perseverance, Reflectiveness, Appreciation, Inventiveness, Sense of wonder and curiosity and Engagement.
