We couldn't be happier with our experience at Carpe Diem Hilltop. The teachers went above and beyond to understand and support our children's unique needs. We appreciate the open communication between the teachers and parents which allows us to be updated of our children's development and progress.
My child has developed into a confident, outgoing and vocal individual unlike the shy and reserved self before starting school. The support given by the teachers to get them settled into preschool is beyond my expectations.
The school provides a great outdoor space which allows plenty of opportunities to allow them to learn, play and explore, truly a gem in an urban city like ours.

Touring the school, we were impressed by the amount of space the school has and the outdoor activities at the school, such as gardening, riding toy cars, water play. The school also has an outdoor deck and classes that have the deck eat outside in the fresh air.
The teachers are very energetic and interact well with the students. There is also great communication between teacher and parents. The teachers use the school app efficiently to update parents and also photos of what our children did at school, thus giving us an inside look into our children’s time at school. There are also several parent engagement events throughout the year, such as Sports Day. We got to know several families through these events and got to see our children interact socially with their peers.
In regards to learning, we like that there are themes throughout the year, such as saving water, world around us, occupations etc. There are many hands on activities for the children, such as cooking, crafts, observing and collecting plants from the grounds, to learn about these themes. We appreciate that alot of the learning is through exploration and play which should be how children develop in their foundation years.
What is exceptional is the K2 camp. The K2s would have a potluck picnic with their family, then proceeded to a campfire night, before saying bye to their parents and staying overnight at school. My son really enjoyed it and bonded with his peers. It was a last hurrah before primary school. The effort of the staff and teachers were incredible, to organise the campfire and games, as well as staying overnight with the whole level of K2 children.
Our children really enjoy attending school and telling us with excitement about their day, their friends and their teachers. We cannot speak more highly of the school as they have really put the joy of learning in our children and built a firm foundation leading to formal schooling.

The admission to the school was a breeze and both of my kids did not take long to assimilate into the system.
The teachers are responsible, friendly and are always so responsive. Updates from them about how my kids are doing in school were always done in a patient and unhurried manner. It is always joy to talk to the teachers there. The school takes a serious approach when it comes to educating my kids, communicating to me whenever there are any concerns regarding their school work.
Overall, Carpe Diem Hilltop is a quality pre-school which provided a holistic approach for my children's education. As a parent, my journey with them has also been a fun and joyous one. I highly recommend it to anyone who is considering this school.

From the moment I first set foot on the premises, I was impressed by the school's facilities and environment, which played a crucial role in my decision to enroll my boys.
My oldest son, Zackary, recently graduated from Carpe Diem in 2022, and my youngest, Ackerley, is soon to graduate from K2 at the end of this year. Throughout their time at the preschool, the teachers have consistently shown dedication and a deep commitment to their work. Their patience and care have truly been a virtue in nurturing and guiding my sons' educational journey.
I am grateful to have made the right choice in selecting Carpe Diem Preschool for my boys. The warm and nurturing environment, coupled with the teachers' dedication, has provided a strong foundation for their early years of learning. I am confident that the values and knowledge they have gained from Carpe Diem will stay with them for years to come. Thank you Carpe Diem, for being an integral part of my children's educational journey.

Both of my girls grew up with Carpe Diem @ Hilltop. The teachers and staff are nurturing, patient, approachable, dedicated and supportive. The curriculum is well-thought to cater for both exploratory and structured learning to prepare my children for primary school. The large outdoor natural environment was also a win factor for my husband and I as we did not want our children to be housed in an air-conditioned classroom with no opportunity for natural exploration. The activities organized by the school, for example the annual graduation concert, campfires, excursions, are all well-planned and executed. My girls are now in primary school and they still miss and talk about their teachers in Carpe Diem @ Hilltop. I miss the teachers too! Thank you Carpe Diem @ Hilltop for taking care of S&S!

Teachers at Carpe Diem across all levels are always friendly and welcoming whenever we drop our kid off at school. The big field within the school premise where chickens and monkeys can sometimes be sighted is also one of the main reason why we love the school as we feel that it brings the kids a little closer to nature.

I am very glad that I transferred Charlize to Carpe Diem in April last year. In less than a year, she has shown tremendous improvement in her academics and self confidence. She enjoys school thoroughly and gets upset if she has to miss school. The teachers have all been really caring and wonderful to both Charlize and Charlene. Both thumbs up for Carpe Diem management for doing so well in every aspect. Looking forward to the annual graduation concert!

We really like Carpe Diem @ Hilltop for its huge compound of its own and the mesmerising greenery around. Teachers are creative and effective in their teaching, keeping both Ashley and Isaac interested in learning and well-prepared for primary school. Teachers are also approachable and friendly, always keeping parents well-informed of children’s progress in school. Parent-child bonding activities are also very enjoyable.
Two years into primary school, Ashley still speaks fondly of the memories at Carpe Diem - teachers, friends and all the activities! Thank you for making childhood for Ashley and Isaac a great one!
