This Kindergarten Has A Massive Outdoor Space, Garden Play Time & A Parent & Toddler Group

Rain Trees International Kindergarten has 35,000 square feet of outdoor space for garden play with a mud kitchen, play equipment and ride-on toys. Plus, they also have Parent & Toddler classes!

Sometimes the best gift you can give your young tots is plenty of play time outdoors! Rain Trees International Kindergarten is a ‘small school feel’ preschool in a black-and-white bungalow with 35,000 square feet of lush green space for amazing outdoor play. Little ones here run around and explore as part of garden playtime, which makes preschool a fun place to be. Plus, they can develop good physical fitness, agility and stamina!

In addition, they also offer a Parent & Toddler group to prepare little ones for kindergarten while giving mums and dads the chance to meet other parents.

Lessons and imaginative playtime outdoors

The large shady garden is used not only for planned outdoor activities but also for free play. There’s time allocated each day for kids to choose from climbing frames, playing in the sandpit, ride-on toys, balls, hoops and more! Teachers also use the outdoors to explore topics like ‘In the Garden’ where children can look for and collect sticks, leaves and worms to learn about afterwards.

The tree stump in their big garden is a prominent feature, inviting the nickname ‘the cave’ as some of the children call it! Kids are free to explore the stump, climb on it and observe what creatures inhabit its nooks and crannies. There’s also a mud kitchen where kids can get really messy whilst engaging in play and a vegetable patch for children to grow their own vegetables. The veggies will then be used in their cooking activities!

Well-fitted classrooms & smooth transition to ‘Big School’

There are five classrooms, each set up to reflect the learning areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). Their approach is to foster a love of learning, problem-solving, experimentation and inquisitiveness to provide a solid foundation for every child’s future.

Kids learn through play in small class sizes (teacher-student ratios are at just 1:6 to 1:12). Kids especially love the cosy reading corner, designed to encourage communication and literacy skills and the dress-up corner for role play.

Parents of children who have since transitioned to big international schools in Singapore have also reported that their children were confident, social, and ready for the next level! This is also thanks to the school’s hand-on approach which ensures each child learns at their own pace without feeling pressured.

A fabulous Parent & Toddler Group

To prepare little ones (aged 8 months to 2 years) for kindergarten, Rain Trees International Kindergarten offers a Parent & Toddler Group. This structured session allows your child to learn through free play, art and sensory play, music and movement and garden time. While the little ones explore, parents will get to meet other parents and enjoy a warm, welcoming community.
