Alpha Green Bilingual Preschool

Preschool in Upper Bukit Timah, Singapore, Singapore

Alpha Green Bilingual Preschool is a small preschool in Upper Bukit Timah, Singapore, at 1 Jalan Siap, a short walk from Hillview MRT. It serves children from 18 months to 6 years, from Playgroup to Kindergarten 2, and is open Monday to Friday from 7am to 7pm, closed only six days a year. The school presents itself as a bilingual preschool where English is the everyday language and children also learn German, Russian, or Mandarin with native-speaking teachers. The atmosphere described is warm and family-oriented, with small groups and a focus on giving young children a calm start in a multilingual setting.

The curriculum combines English with one of three language choices, all taught by native speakers. The school notes that children can choose German, Russian, or Mandarin alongside English, and that the language choice is often guided by what is spoken at home or what the child will need later. German is offered for German-speaking, mixed, and beginner families, with small groups and German used in lessons. Russian is offered for Russian-speaking families and beginners, also in small groups. Mandarin is positioned as a strong start for families with a Mandarin-speaking parent or for children meeting the language for the first time. The school also includes numeracy, phonics, art, music, cooking, and sensory play in its weekly rhythm, and offers English language support for children new to English.

Daily life includes free play on arrival, breakfast, small-group language time, outdoor play, lunch, nap time, tea, and afternoon activities such as numeracy, phonics, art, music, and story time. Tuesdays include music and cooking, gardening or sensory play in the morning, plus capoeira in the afternoon. Meals are prepared in the school’s own kitchen, with breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack cooked fresh each day by the chef, and menus change with the seasons. The school also includes weekly capoeira, weekly music, and cooking at least once a term. The source mentions outdoor play, a garden, and school transport arranged through an appointed operator.

What stands out most is the school’s strong bilingual structure, its small groups, and the fact that every language teacher is a native speaker. The in-house kitchen, regular outdoor time, and varied weekly activities add to the daily routine. It appears well suited to families looking for an early years setting where English is central and a second language is developed from the start, especially for children from bilingual, multilingual, or language-learning families. It may also appeal to parents who value a small preschool environment with a clear daily rhythm and practical support such as transport and video tours for families who are still overseas.
