Haven Schoolhouse @ Bukit Purmei

Haven Schoolhouse has been a pioneer and respected early childhood education centre since we opened our doors in 1991.

We are an initiative started by the Singapore Amalgamated Services Co-operative Organisation Limited (SASCO), which was established in 1933. SASCO’s community building efforts include the provision of elderly care services through SASCO Senior Citizens’ Home, and child care services through Haven Schoolhouse.

Children are always at the heart of all we do, and our focus has been on bringing quality infant and child care services to our community. With a dedicated and passionate team of teachers, we hope to shape the leading minds of tomorrow.

We are constantly launching initiatives to raise the quality of education we provide, to improve our curriculum to keep lessons engaging, and professional development of our staff. We keep our fees affordable, and offer additional subsidies to ensure every child gets access to quality preschool education.

Philosophy:
To consider the total child by providing a hospitable environment for the constructive development and fulfilment of potentials.
