Our Little Footprints Preschool curriculum incorporates an experiential approach for the early years (18 months to 3 years old) and school readiness approach for children who are in the preschool level (4 to 6 years).

How is Little Footprints Preschool different from other preschools or childcare centres?

We provide high-quality education at affordable fees, with a comprehensive curriculum that focuses on integrated learning activities and a literacy-rich environment. Character development programmes are also infused in our daily lessons where we instill positive life values in our children.

To enhance our children’s holistic development, we collaborate with a variety of community organisations and actively involve all parents in our activities. Every year, our children enjoy opportunities to participate in community engagement initiatives with government agencies such as the Singapore Police Force, Public Utilities Board (PUB) and the Start Small, Dream Big project as part of the President’s Challenge.

Health checks are conducted 3 times daily – in the morning upon arrival, after lunch and after naptime.

Should your child be unwell with any of the following symptoms during the routine health checks in the morning, he/she will be sent home immediately:

• Fever

We urge parents to keep their children at home if they are unwell and to consult a doctor. Bringing your child to the centre when he/she is unwell is strongly not recommended.
