Apple Tree Playhouse

We are a Reggio Emilia inspired, inquiry-based preschool where learning occurs within a safe and yet stimulating environment for very young children age 18 months to 6 years old.

History

Started as a playgroup in 1989, our rich 30-year history has given us a solid grip of the progress of the early years foundation stage to expand into a pre-school/childcare setting. Our daily practices are guided by child-centred principles and anchored by our strong belief in family centricity and community wellness.

As from January 2024, Apple Tree Playhouse became an IB (International Baccalaureate) candidacy school for the Primary Years Programme (PYP), combining the Reggio Emilia philosophy with the rigorous IB framework. Fundamentally, both recognize learners as active participants in their own learning, emphasize on critical thinking, communication and problem-solving.

Our mission is to bring out the potential of each and every child, preparing them to be flexible, creative and critical thinkers and who can take on challenges that come their way.

An architect-designed learning environment that incorporates our pedagogy values. A palette of materials and textures that have been chosen for their specific properties for learning. With the support of our dedicated team of supportive teachers and given the chance to delve into an immersive and specifically prepared, safe learning environment, children are encouraged to bring out the best in them, that their confidence for learning is increasingly built in the learning process.
