Our Philosophy

Canadian Bilingual Education, Nurturing Future Global Citizens

Our approach goes beyond academic preparation — we nurture curiosity, creativity, and empathy.

Canadian curriculum

Canadian Curriculum Framework

Our curriculum is based on the Canadian BC Early Learning Framework, emphasising learning through play, exploration, creativity, and discovery. Activities develop language, social skills, motor development and cognitive growth.

Bilingual immersion

Bilingual Immersion Learning

From Day 1, children encounter English and Mandarin in visual activities, songs, stories, play and classroom routines. The programme builds age-appropriate listening, speaking and early literacy foundations in both languages.

P1 readiness

P1 School Readiness

We place special emphasis on preparing children for the transition to Singapore Primary 1. K2 children graduate with familiarity of classroom routines, independent learning skills, and social confidence. Our alumni have moved smoothly into mainstream Singapore primary schools, excelling in bilingual ability, self-confidence, and love of learning.

Whole-child development

Whole-Child Development

We believe every child is unique. Beyond academic foundations, we focus on character, emotional regulation, teamwork and environmental awareness. Outdoor activities follow the actual timetable, weather and age-group routine. Our in-house kitchen prepares daily meals, and a school teacher accompanies children on the school bus.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything Jurong West parents ask before enrolling.

What curriculum does MapleBear follow?
MapleBear Jurong West follows the Canadian bilingual immersion curriculum, combining language immersion with play-based learning to nurture well-rounded development. Our curriculum is developed by Canadian early childhood education experts and adapted for Singapore's multicultural context. We focus on creativity, critical thinking, social skills, and bilingual fluency in English and Mandarin, preparing children for primary school and beyond. Learn more about our curriculum approach.
What government subsidies are available?
We accept CDA payments. Eligible Singapore Citizen children may receive ECDA Basic Subsidy and, depending on household circumstances and assessment, Additional Subsidy. Admissions can explain the application documents, but ECDA determines the final amount. See our published fees and subsidy guide.
How far is the centre from NTU?
Our centre at 50 Yunnan Drive 1 is within roughly a 10-minute drive of NTU under normal traffic conditions. Travel time varies by starting point and traffic, so families should check the current route before a tour. See our NTU location and transport guide.
What age groups do you accept?
We welcome children from 2 months old (Infant Care) through to 6 years old. Our programmes include: Infant Care (2-17 months), Toddler (18 months-2 years), Playgroup (2-3 years), Nursery (3-4 years), and Kindergarten (4-6 years). We offer both full-day (7am-7pm) and half-day (7am-1pm) options to fit different family schedules and needs.
How do you handle separation anxiety?
We use a gradual settling-in approach based on the child's needs, with consistent routines, familiar comfort items where appropriate and regular parent communication. The educator and family agree the practical arrangement because each child's adjustment time is different.
Is bilingual immersion effective for non-Chinese families?
Yes. The programme supports children from Mandarin-speaking and non-Mandarin-speaking homes. Teachers use visual aids, gestures, songs, stories and contextual cues to build understanding of English and Mandarin gradually.
What makes MapleBear Jurong West different from other preschools?
Several features set us apart: (1) an in-house kitchen serving fresh meals daily; (2) current transport options families can discuss with admissions; (3) small classes and personal attention; (4) a quiet residential location with a backyard and outdoor playground; and (5) a Canadian bilingual curriculum. Book a tour to verify the current classroom setup and meet the team.
