ChildFirst Preschool

Preschool in Singapore, Singapore, Singapore

ChildFirst Preschool is a preschool in Singapore with centres in Tampines and Hillview, serving children from 2 months to 6 years old. The school says it is focused on enhancing children’s abilities through a trilingual curriculum and advanced learning techniques, with the aim of preparing them for Primary 1 and beyond. Its message is clear and encouraging: not to underestimate what children can do before Primary 1. The atmosphere described on the school’s site feels energetic and positive, with an emphasis on stretching children rather than stressing them.

The curriculum is built around English, Chinese and AI, with the school describing these as three developmental environments rather than three academic subjects. In English, children move from early phonics and listening to confident speaking, phonics and reading, creative writing, literature and AI stories. In Chinese, the progression includes listening and speaking, character recognition, reading, AI-supported revision, oral practice and creative writing. The AI strand begins with a foundation in human intelligence before AI and continues through AI as a tutor, tutee and tool, with applications across domains. The school also highlights Robotics and Coding among its curriculum tags, and its page states that half of every school day is spent in Chinese, adding up to around 3,000 hours of immersion by graduation.

Daily life at ChildFirst appears active and varied. The school’s photos and captions show children in an indoor playground, singing and acting on a classroom rug, enjoying outdoor water play, making recycled cardboard creations, baking dough, and working together in playful group activities. The environment shown is lively and hands-on, with learning connected to movement, making, speaking and creating. The school also shares video examples of English, Chinese and AI in action, which reinforces its practical approach to learning. While the source does not list a full set of extracurriculars or facilities, it does show a setting where children are encouraged to participate, explore and collaborate.

What makes ChildFirst distinctive is its trilingual model and its focus on capabilities that can develop well before Primary 1. The school points to long experience, noting 30 plus years shaping early education, five centres across Singapore, and recognition including three times as National Robotics Champions and seven times as Best Preschool Award Winner. It may be a good fit for families looking for a preschool that places strong emphasis on English and Chinese immersion, early confidence, and thoughtful use of AI within the learning journey.
