Kinderland Siglap [PRESCHOOL]

Kinderland Siglap came highly recommended by two acquaintances and I can see why after my kid, Thad spent two years there.

The principal and teachers are very dedicated to providing the best care for the children. Thad is definitely not the easiest to care for but the principal and teachers spared no effort in catering their teaching styles to suit his needs. Because of their incredible patience and care, Thad has made significant progress in his learning and development since joining Kinderland Siglap.

A heartfelt thank you to principal Crystal and both her teaching and non-teaching staff!

Even though my boy was only with Kinderland Siglap for 2 years after we moved to the east, he loves the school and really enjoyed his time there.

The teachers in Kinderland are especially loving and caring, and he has gained so much both academically and emotionally. Thank you very much Kinderland Siglap and I would definitely recommend parents living in the area to send their kids there.

It’s been a wonderful journey with Kinderland Preschool @ Siglap for the past 2 years. Charlene joined Kinderland at K1. She has grown so much over the years and thoroughly enjoyed her time in school, teachers were very supportive and patient.

I truly appreciate all the teachers and the principal, Crystal, for showering her with so much love.

Kinderland Siglap deserves recognition for their warmth, professionalism, and love for each student. Every interaction—whether it’s during drop-off, pickup, or school events—reflects their genuine love for what they do and for the children they care for. My girls enjoy going to school and have grown to be happy and confident kids. The environment feels safe, welcoming, and academic curriculum proved robust as my elder girl was adequately prepared for her primary school education. The regular music class was an icing on the cake as it laid foundation to their interest for piano. We were especially appreciative of the commitment of the teachers especially Teng laoshi – her commitment to excellence meant that she took extra care in personally mentoring each student even after the end of their Chinese lesson. The combination of an outstanding leadership led by Principal Crystal, exceptional teachers and earnest sincere caring staff makes Kinderland Siglap a place where children thrive in every way. We are grateful for the positive impact they’ve had on my girls and would recommend any parent to consider this center!

We are a non-mandarin speaking family at home and Kinderland Siglap has provided an environment that has sparked Jacobs’s interest in Mandarin which has resulted in him now wanting to learn at a high level. Thanks to Laoshi guidance. His reading and writing ability are now at a high level which was nurtured by his teachers at Kinderland Siglap. The weekly spelling tests in K2 was helpful and easily manageable. Jacob always wanted to get full marks every week which made it easy and enjoyable for us as parents to help with. The preparation that the school has made to prepare Jacob for primary school has been very effective, Jacob has started P1 with a skip in his step! Principal Crystal has done a good job managing the school and ensuring that it is run well and the students are safe. Communication channels are always open and any issues are always promptly dealt with. We would like to give a special shout out to all of his teachers from Nursery until K2! Every single teacher has played a vital part and role in his journey to being primary school ready, an avid learner and ensuring he is at the academic level that he is at. Thank you Kinderland Siglap.

My two girls enjoyed their time at Kinderland Siglap this year. My oldest girl went in at K2 after being homeschooled, while my youngest continued N1 after a term at Playgroup last year. Principal Crystal and the teachers (Teacher Mary, Teng Laoshi, Huang Laoshi, Teacher Cynthia and Teacher Esther) were incredibly warm and welcoming to me and the children. We transitioned very smoothly into the Kinderland Siglap family.

I like how the bilingual preschool education gave my children a strong foundation and environment in English and Mandarin. Both girls are confident conversing and singing in both languages at home as well. The small teacher to student ratio and cozy class size have benefited their socioemotional development. The teachers know and care about the students deeply and personally, giving me the assurance that my girls are well taken care of.

Food served is delicious and nutritious. My girls are foodies and teachers tell me they eat two servings or more at school. Both have grown well. My youngest at 3 years old would even tell me about “Healthier Choice” at home. I also like the morning outdoor playtime in the beautiful lawn and playground just outside the schoolhouse. It is important for kids to have fresh air and to run around with their friends with or without structured play.

Principal Crystal has been lovely, understanding and very kind and open in her communication with parents. She is well-aware of the growth and progress of my girls, and is regularly involved in the school life of her students. The chef and housekeeper Aunty Fang and Aunty Hong have been extremely kind and loving towards the children, as well, which I greatly appreciate and do not take their value and contributions for granted.

My girls have blossomed socially and developed close friendships very quickly at Kinderland Siglap, thanks to loving and supportive teachers who are professional and experienced in their interactions and tutelage with young children. The school has been a safe space for my girls to learn holistically, grow out of their comfort zone, and develop public speaking skills in the classroom and on stage at a young age. My girls are excited to showcase their performance in the upcoming Graduation Concert.

I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the Kinderland Siglap team who has given our family fond memories and peace of mind during my girls’ preschool years.

When our son Kou started his very first school experience at 18 months, it was a big change for him. Of course, there were moments of hesitation and adjustment, but because the teachers welcomed him so warmly every day, he has been gradually settling in. I truly feel grateful that we entrusted him to such kind and caring teachers at Kinderland Siglap.

All of the teachers have been wonderful with Kou, each bringing warmth and energy that makes the school feel safe and home-like. In particular, Teacher Cynthia has been especially attentive—she notices the little changes in Kou’s moods and behaviors from day to day and responds with such care. This gives us great confidence that he is truly understood and supported.
I also value Principal Crystal’s leadership. She takes the time to understand my son personally, and her thoughtful communication has really helped ease the anxieties that come with sending such a young child to school.
We chose Kinderland Siglap because of the warm atmosphere created by the teachers, and also because of the school’s emphasis on nutrition and healthy eating, which we find very important.
Overall, we feel very supported and reassured as parents, and we’re happy to see Kou adjusting and growing with the encouragement of the wonderful teachers here.

Enrolling our dear children in Kinderland Siglap is one of the best decisions we have made. The environment provided by Kinderland Siglap is one that allows holistic development, fulfilment of potential and positive growth. We have witnessed both our children grow in confidence, improve their social skills and demonstrate a keen interest in learning.

We had the pleasure to share with the school our daily work as Medical Doctors, which bears testament to the school’s vision to introduce concepts of career and essential life skills to its students. My wife and I shared basic first aid concepts, and taught some practical skills such as simple bandaging to the children. It was a novel and engaging experience, which clearly highlights Kinderland Siglap’s commitment to engage parents in the educational journey of its students.

The annual Family Day provided an excellent avenue for parents to interact with one another, and spend a fruitful day with their children playing simple games and enjoying the playful interactions between the staff of the school and the students. Making this an annual event gives the parents and children something to look forward to, and a fun-filled day of physical activity and healthy competition fostered bonding between parents and their children.

The staff of Kinderland Siglap display strong passion as educators, and are dedicated and committed to doing their absolute best to facilitate safe, healthy, and happy development of their students.

Principal Crystal has provided a refreshing leadership style, with frequent parent engagement, organization of learning activities and excursions, along with forging a camaraderie within Kinderland Siglap for both the staff and students to develop themselves to their full potentials.

I will like to commend on Principal Crystal Goh and the teaching staff of Kinderland Siglap for their care and commitment to the well-being and development of our son, Tianshun.

Tianshun has been diagnosed with certain developmental challenges and requires speech and occupational therapy sessions. The staff has been very supportive and forthcoming in their feedback on Tianshun’s development during this period. They have also been critical in facilitating our child’s positive experience in school, especially with Developmental Support and Learning Support (DSLS) and speech therapy through SPD in the school.

Beyond catering to the specific needs of Tianshun’s development, the Principal and staff of Kinderland Siglap has also fostered a learning and caring environment that allows the children to develop as confident, curious and caring individuals.

We are glad to know that Tian Shun always looks forward going to school. Thanks again to Principal Crystal and Staff of Kinderland in providing a safe and happy environment for Tian Shun.

My eldest has been attending Kinderland Siglap since he was 18 months – he is almost 5 now. I first enrolled him due to the proximity to grandparents’ place but I happened to hear reviews then from other parents about how the children are great communicators and transitioned comfortably to P1. But witnessing it for myself, I am so glad I chose Kinderland Siglap amongst the other schools around the area. The warmth and sincerity of the all the teachers really shine through. I feel that every single teacher takes the effort to get to know every child in the school. My son also frequently talks about the Aunties who cook their meals and tidies the school. He adapted to school so well and made many great friends even from outside of his class. Drop offs have always been a breeze because I can fully trust the teachers to care for him. I appreciate that regular updates are sent and that the teachers try to work hand in hand with parents to nurture and develop each child. Being a first-time mum, I often look to the teachers for advice on topics like potty training etc. I honestly appreciate the short conversations we get to have at drop off/pick up.

Thanks to the bilingual curriculum and the Chinese teachers making the language fun through songs and activities, my son is now conversing relatively well in mandarin even though we don’t speak it much at home. The school environment is comfortable and clean, which is very important to me. There is a nice new playground and sufficient space in front for the kids to have their outdoor time and vitamin D – something they all look forward to in the school day.

Each year ended off with a graduation concert which gave us parents the chance to see how much our children have grown through the course of the year. I was utterly impressed with the standard of it and how professional the kids were. The school year is also filled with educational excursions (which my son looks forward to all the time) to places like mobility gallery, KidsSTOP, Children’s Museum, Library etc, and most recently the rare opportunity for a sponsored excursion to the Singapore Oceanarium to be featured on their collateral and marketing material! The school also started organising family day where the whole family gets to come together and have fun – a good chance to meet other parents as well.

I’ve seen many positive changes to the school under the leadership of Principal Crystal. The teachers, together with her, really work together as a team to ensure all aspects of our children’s pre-school education is top notch. My full appreciation goes to each one of them and the great work they do with the kids each and every day. Looking forward to sending my second boy in at the end of this year!
