The Bilingual Preschool That Propels Mandarin Excellence

ELFA Preschool has been awarded for excellence in curriculum quality and school management in the most populous mandarin native-speaking country - China. Our quality curriculum is jointly developed by a team of local early childhood specialists together with a panel of advisors from China, headed by Professor Zhu Shi Yuan.

ELFA Preschool provides quality education, infant and child care services for children from the age of two months to six years old. ELFA is highly recognised in China for our excellence in curriculum quality and school management.
With over two decades of experience, ELFA places great emphasis on children's acquisition of Chinese oral language and reading skills, mastering Mandarin alongside English.
With the rise in China's economic status, the Chinese language is an increasingly important medium of communication in business and social settings. If you are looking to equip your child with a solid foundation in the Chinese language and culture, ELFA's immersive language learning environment is the perfect setting for expat and local families. Our programmes develop a deep understanding and appreciation of the language in children while shaping their morals and values.

ELFA Bilingual Story-based Approach

ELFA's integrated thematic story-based approach emphasises your child's Chinese language acquisition. Designed by a panel of curriculum advisors from China and Singapore, the programme is aligned with guidelines provided by Singapore’s Ministry of Education. Special component includes preparation for HSK-YCT paper as benchmark against your child's readiness for P1 Chinese.

In line with the Chinese story-based curriculum, moral values are promoted through curated stories to shape children’s character positively from young.

ELFA Higher-Order-Thinking Maths

This integrated learning approach using bilingual teaching format brings mathematical concepts to life for in-depth understanding and hones your child's higher-order-thinking skills such as logical reasoning. Your child will learn to apply their newly acquired understanding and skills in class into their daily routines, making learning more meaningful and comprehensive. Programme is taught from Pre-Nursery Two to Kindergarten levels.

Chinese-inspired Art

The programme is designed to build positive learning dispositions in young children such as inculcating calm and composure, and help inspire their liking and appreciation for art through eastern and western art teaching methods. This special programme will offer new stimulations for curious young minds, allowing your little ones to expand their creativity through exploration and discovery!

Chinese Speech & Drama

Children’s communication skills and their ability to express themselves in Mandarin are enhanced through the programme. At the same time, they develop self-confidence, a creative imagination and practical interpersonal skills.

Coding

Logical thinking is strengthened through learning coding. Your child will learn the process of designing and building a programme that helps execute a certain task. The learning enhances mental cognition of your child. They will learn to apply practical life skills such as problem solving, whilst developing resilience and expanding their creativity that lay a strong foundation for a digital-centric future. Coding is taught at Kindergarten levels.

ELFA Physical Programme

Children are exposed to various age-appropriate gross and fine motor activities. They develop competency in gross motor skills and gain better knowledge and control of their bodies and muscles which help them to build strength and confidence while instilling in them the discipline to exercise regularly from a tender age.

CONDUCIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT

Allow your child to experience the benefits of ELFA’s Integrated Thematic Curriculum and cultivate a love for the Chinese language and the Chinese culture from young.
