MapleBear Jurong West is a Canadian bilingual preschool located at 50 Yunnan Drive 1, serving families in Jurong West, Boon Lay, Pioneer, and the NTU community. Established in 2018, we offer a full range of programmes from infant care (2 months) to kindergarten (up to 6 years), all delivered through our unique Canadian early learning framework with full English-Mandarin immersion.
Here's what sets us apart from every other preschool in the area:
1 Canadian Bilingual Curriculum — The Only One in Jurong West
MapleBear is the only preschool in Jurong West offering a Canadian bilingual immersion programme. Our 6-pillar curriculum covers Literacy, Numeracy, Science, Social Studies, Creative Arts, and Social-Emotional Learning — all delivered in both English and Mandarin from 2 months of age.
- Full bilingual immersion, not Mandarin as a subject
- Play-based, child-centred learning (no rote memorisation)
- Dedicated English and Mandarin teachers per class
- Seamless transition to Singapore primary schools
2 Infant Care from 2 Months — Bilingual from Day One
We accept infants from 2 months old, making us one of the few centres in Jurong West that supports working parents from the earliest stage. Our infant care programme uses the same bilingual immersion approach, so children naturally develop fluency in both languages through daily interaction.
- 1:5 teacher-to-child ratio (exceeds ECDA minimum)
- Individualised care plans for each infant
- Sensory-rich bilingual environment
- Seamless progression to toddler and kindergarten programmes
3 On-Site Kitchen — Fresh Meals, Full Control
Unlike centres that use external caterers, MapleBear has an in-house kitchen that prepares fresh, nutritious meals daily — breakfast, lunch, and tea. We can accommodate dietary restrictions, allergies, and cultural preferences with full control over ingredients and preparation.
- Fresh meals prepared on-premises daily
- Accommodates allergies and dietary needs
- No external caterer markup in fees
- Transparent ingredient sourcing
4 School Bus Service — Safe, Affordable, Convenient
Our door-to-door school bus serves Jurong West, Boon Lay, Pioneer, and NTU areas with trained teacher escorts for safe commutes. Bus fees are priced below market rate based on distance, and we offer complimentary pick-up within NTU campus.
- Trained teacher escorts on every bus run
- Below-market pricing based on distance
- Complimentary NTU campus pick-up
- Covers Jurong West, Boon Lay, Pioneer areas
5 Small Centre, Personal Care — Every Child Known by Name
With fewer children per centre than chain operators, our educators know every child by name and maintain close communication with parents. Our two-storey terrace house campus provides a warm, home-like environment with naturally lit classrooms, an outdoor playground, and dedicated learning corners.
- Small class sizes with individualised attention
- Close parent-educator communication
- Two-storey terrace campus with outdoor play space
- CCT monitored, secure entry access
What Parents Say
"My daughter started at MapleBear when she was 8 months old. Now at 3, she speaks both English and Mandarin fluently. The teachers truly know her and care about her progress every day."
"The bilingual immersion is what sold us. Other centres only teach Mandarin as a subject — here, my son experiences both languages naturally throughout the day. He's now confident speaking to both English and Mandarin-speaking relatives."
"The school bus service is excellent — the teacher escorts are patient and caring, and the route covers our area in Boon Lay. The fee is very reasonable compared to private transport options."
