THE LARGEST SINGAPORE PRESCHOOL BRAND IN CHINA

ELFA has established itself as a respected Singapore preschool brand in China following its foray into the country in 2001 with its first ELFA centre in Shandong Province. ELFA Preschool offers a robust programme with early Chinese Immersion designed to nurture language mastery and cultural appreciation in young learners.

ELFA’s success is drawn on the reputation and experience of its Singapore-based parent company, the Crestar Education Group, which has close to four decades of expertise in early childhood curriculum development, operations and centre-design.

The curriculum for the ELFA network in China is based on the successful and proven programme developed by Crestar Education Group’s team of highly experienced and renowned educators in Early Childhood education. The curriculum has been customised by the ELFA team in China to comply with requirements by the country’s Ministry of Education in preparing children for formal schooling.

To ensure that its preschool facilities are of the highest standard to meet the stringent requirements of the local authorities, ELFA China works closely with well-established international consultants from the USA, Australia and New Zealand. The architectural design of the iconic preschool in Dalian’s Yida International New City development, commissioned by Yida Real Estate Development, is a good example of our dynamic collaboration that combines the best practices of the West and the East. This design has won wide acclaim from the international architectural circles.
