Jungle Learning, Swim Lessons, Daily Mandarin & More At GESS Preschool

German European School Singapore’s (GESS) preschool programme ticks all our boxes by nurturing curious, confident learners through hands-on, holistic experiences in world-class facilities.

If you’re a parent of a preschooler, you’ll know they’re always curious, always moving and always asking questions. At this stage, they’re filled with imagination and eager to explore everything around them. That’s why finding a preschool that truly nurtures these qualities matters. At German European School Singapore (GESS) Preschool, nature-based learning takes centre stage, and exploration goes well beyond the four walls of the classroom.

Over 50 learning spaces for holistic learning

At GESS, exploration knows no limits, with preschoolers having access to over 50 dedicated learning spaces across the campus. Instead of staying in one classroom, kids get to make full use of world-class facilities, including an award-winning playground, a heated swimming pool and even a jungle learning space. Kids will also benefit from GESS’s certified Forest School Programme, which lets them explore parks and the nearby nature reserve while learning through nature-based, hands-on experiences. Here, kids get to tap into their imagination and curiosity while connecting with the world around them.

Along the way, kids develop essential skills such as confidence, leadership and teamwork. On top of that, weekly swim lessons led by professional coaches help them build coordination and independence, all while having fun and staying active! What’s more, families can look forward to a brand-new, purpose-built jungle learning area that’s coming very soon!

Specialist classes including bilingual exposure

On top of the wide range of facilities and learning spaces, kids become part of a close-knit community led by experienced, qualified early educators. Kids can learn at their own pace, while daily activities mix play with hands-on experiences that help them build essential skills while having fun. They also benefit from specialist teachers in music, sports and languages. Plus, with daily differentiated Mandarin classes, kids get bilingual exposure from a young age, building confidence in a language that’s increasingly important in today’s globalised world.

The school partners with parents every step of the way, helping kids settle in from day one and develop the skills they need to succeed in primary school and beyond. Parents will also appreciate the small class sizes and low student-to-teacher ratios of 1:5 and 1:10, which allow teachers to understand each child’s needs.

GESS Preschool welcomes children from 18 months to 5 years old, with its programme for 18-month-olds starting in August 2026. Curious to see the magic in action?
