Our Curriculum
Our literacy-based curriculum focus on carefully selected English and Mandarin Book titles where children will learn the language component and extend their learning into different areas through exploring the content of the book. They will focus on fundamentals to advance concepts through Appleland's specially designed activities. It includes the teaching of English, Mandarin, Mathematics, Expressive Art, Music & Movement, and Environmental Awareness. Moral and Health education is integrated into the curriculum throughout the child's preschool years, with the nurturing of your child in mind.
