About ELFA

Established in 2000, ELFA is one of five early childhood education brands under Crestar Education Group (CEG), with more than 20 preschools across Singapore and China.

ELFA was founded on the belief that children develop language best when it is woven naturally into meaningful learning experiences. Through an immersive, story-based approach, our bilingual curriculum helps children build a strong foundation in Mandarin while nurturing the confidence, curiosity and skills they need to thrive.

ELFA Preschool in Singapore nurtures a strong Mandarin-focused bilingual foundation through meaningful exposure to the Chinese language and culture.

Guided by Singapore’s Ministry of Education Nurturing Early Learners (NEL) Framework, our integrated curriculum places particular emphasis on Chinese oral language and early reading. Stories, conversations, cultural experiences and hands-on activities bring Mandarin naturally into children’s everyday learning, helping them develop confidence and a genuine interest in the language.

 

Within a year of its establishment, ELFA expanded into Shandong, China. Today, ELFA preschools can be found across major Chinese cities, with a curriculum aligned with the guidelines and content established by China’s Ministry of Education.

 

ELFA is recognised as the Most-Awarded Singapore Preschool Brand in China, with distinctions for curriculum design and centre management. Our preschools have also received consistent quality recognition from municipal and provincial education authorities.

 

This success is supported by ELFA’s robust curriculum, strong preschool management system and experienced regional team, which brings decades of expertise in early childhood curriculum development, operations and centre design. Through continuous knowledge exchange across Singapore and China, ELFA brings together educational expertise and cultural understanding to advance bilingual early education and prepare children for an ever-changing world.
