ELFA is the most awarded Singapore Preschool brand in China. Conveniently located within walking distance from Kovan MRT station and Heartland Mall, ELFA Preschool @ Hougang is here to nurture your child’s love for the Chinese language. Our dedicated team of experienced and passionate educators provides childcare services to children aged 2 months to 6 years old.
What Makes ELFA Preschool Special?
ELFA is steeped in the Chinese language and culture while helping to shape your child’s morals and values. The emphasis of ELFA’s unique bilingual story-based approach is your child’s Chinese language acquisition. What sets ELFA apart is the integrated thematic learning through Chinese festivals such as Chinese New Year, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, on top of the usual festivals celebrated in Singapore. Designed by a panel of advisors from China and Singapore, the integrated thematic approach is in line with the guidelines by Ministry of Education, Singapore. Our learning environment complements the curriculum and is purposefully planned to boost early language exposure and develop your child’s interest in Mandarin.
ELFA Preschool Chinese Curriculum Programmes
Our children are also exposed to creative Chinese-inspired art forms such as calligraphy, Chinese opera mask painting and traditional paper cutting craft. These activities sharpen fine motor skills, strengthen attention span, and enhance the sense of aesthetics in young ones. Coupled with this infused-learning, children are also exposed to other cultural activities like Chinese creative writing, lion dance and tea appreciation. ELFA prepares our preschoolers for the HSK-YCT paper at Kindergarten 2 to benchmark their readiness for Singapore primary school Chinese syllabus.
With numerous channels to introduce your child to Chinese, look nowhere else but at ELFA Preschool, where your child will forge fond and lasting childhood memories.

Parent Testimonials
Dear Ms Yang, thank you for the patience, care, and guidance for the many months and years. In your tutelage, Melody has gained the confidence to express herself and to learn more about the world. On this Teachers’ Day, we want to tell you that we are grateful for you being Melody’s teacher.
“Dear Teacher Lisa
Thank you for nurturing Conrad and motivating him always!”
Thanks, Sandy, for taking very good care of all the babies in infant care. For Valentine, she learned good manners and behaviour under your care. Your professionalism and love for kids reassured us – allowing us to concentrate on our work during day time. You are a wonderful “school mum”. Truly appreciate!
Thank you so much for nurturing Melody. She looks forward to going to school everyday to see and learn from you! At home, she shares with us all the things you’ve helped her with (going to the potty etc.) in school. Over the last year at ELFA, we’ve seen how she has developed into a caring and confident child. We are so grateful to have you as her teacher! Happy Teachers’ Day!
