He resisted and fought with daily crying and pleading. Now he looks forward to your playschool everyday. We are very thankful for all the help you have extended to him and for creating a wonderful environment to experience, learn and play. We are grateful for the joy, laughter and encouragement you shared with him and all children. We apprecaite your feedback on his progress and your advice on parenting. We also want to thank your school for the well-planned, enriching and multi-facet program. I asked Donovan whether he wants to make a thank you card for you. He replied "Yes" immediately and wrote THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP! And that is precisely what all of us wants to say to you."- Mr & Mrs Kwok, parents of Donovan from Siglap branch”I wish to command your teachers for doing a good job with my daughter. She really enjoys her classes and her concentration span has improved greatly. She is also able to articulate a lot better now. I will not hesitate to recommend my friends to your school.”- Mrs Alan Tan, mother of Amanda Tan from Serangoon Central Playgroup“I wish to thank your teachers for their kind, professional and friendly efforts that have enabled both Joel and Ian to flourish in the playschool environment. I thank the school for providing a continuing high quality playschool service. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need any references and in my own capacity I would not hesitate to recommend any parents to put their child in your school.- Mrs Julia De Cruz, mother of Joel and Ian De Cruz from Bedok Community Club Playgroup]]> <![CDATA[What the Parents say]]> <![CDATA[An All-Rounded and Thematic Learning Approach will be adopted to cater for the developmental needs of the children at PLAYGROUP.]]> <![CDATA[The Teachers possesses recognized Certificates in Early Childhood Education and with related working experience. >> parents and children love them, read more]]> <![CDATA[Our Curriculum Planning Team]]> <![CDATA[Our Teachers]]> <![CDATA[Our Curriculum]]> <![CDATA[Talent Plus has more than 18 years of experience in planning quality curriculum for preschoolers.We combined an all-rounded programme with partial Montessori learning - the practical life skills.

One of the measurements we take on a daily basis is the checking of children's hands and tongues before they enter the classroom. If a child is infected with hand, foot & mouth disease, we will send him back home without him entering the classroom. We would require a clearance letter from a certified doctor from the parents before the child can return to school.]]> <![CDATA[Monthly Thematic LearningThe objective of our Thematic Learning is "to bring the world to your child".Every month, we have a learning theme to help the children know their surrounding world better. Themes like "about myself", "my neighbourhood", "fruits", "insects", "sea creatures", "transportation" etc are just some interesting topics that will enhance their learning experience.At our Siglap branch, children learn about the shape, colour texture and taste of the grapes. Doing grape artworks become meaningful and interesting when they "experience" grapes.]]> <![CDATA[The Power of TeamworkYou may have heard of the important of acquiring Emotional Intelligence ("Emotional Intelligence - Why it matters more than IQ" by Daniel Goleman) in a child's early stage of development. We believe that the best time to acquire this life-success skill is at preschool age, preferably from one year old. We trust that the best place to acquire this skill is in a conducive social environment with special activities conducted for children so that they have ample chances to interact. We design activities e.g. fun games and team games to help children achieve this.Here you see a group of proud children at our Nee Soon South branch showing off the tower they built together. In the process, they acquire valuable social skills and interpersonal intelligence (The "Eight Multiple Intelligence" by renowned psychologist and Harvard professor Howard Gardner). Values, like working as a team and how to negotiate and communicate, will benefit them for life.]]> <![CDATA[Speech & DramatizationAt our Bt Permai branch, the children imagine they are ... ...

But they will miss their teachers and their teachers will surely miss them too.]]> <![CDATA[Cookery lesson - Fun in sandwiches makingDoes your child make sandwiches for you at home? No? Well, we conduct cookery lesson that your child will bring back some delicacies for you ! At our Bt Merah branch, Xavier speads kaya on a slice of ham. In the process of making sandwiches, our children learn songs about the ingredients of sandwiches (language) and shapes (mathematic concept).Another example is making dough. Number concepts come alive with 5 spoon-full of flour, half spoon of salt and 5 spoon-full of water. Hands-on sensory experiences are emphasized in the process - after adding water to flour, it changes form and texture ! It is science, but to a child, it is pure Magic !]]> <![CDATA[Montessori learningWe conduct Montessori partial learning - the practical life exercises once a week. In our Woodlands branch, two children are transferring soya beans from one bowl to another. In the process, they build important characters that make a successful person - being able to concentrate, being responsible (when the bean drops outside the bowl, they pick it up and put it back into the bowl), being able to complete tasks. And of course, they too, acquire fine motor skills e.g. eye-hand coordination and exercising of pincer grip.]]> <![CDATA[At our reading corner...We trust that the love for reading will be an asset of Talent Plus students. It is the gift we wish to give to each child. Every day, we encourage our children to pick up story books to read. Our aim is to cultivate among them the love for reading.]]> <![CDATA[Speech and Dramatization'I am a tiger hear me roar !!" Dramatization is an important preschool activity for our children to learn speech. We incorporate dramatization with songs, nursery rhythms, storytelling and circle time. Make-believe activities are important, not only as play times for the children, but a time for them to bring out their creativity and imagination. It is essential for the development of spatial intelligence and linguistic intelligence (Professor Howard Gardner).]]> <![CDATA[Going HomeAfter a fun-filled day at Talent Plus, our students go home with new things they have learnt with a smile !

She is always thinking of new ideas and innovative activities to teach concepts, whether it be alphabets, shapes, sizes. Learning becomes fun as she would source for real-life objects for the children to work hands-on. She is not only experience in managing the children’s discipline and learning process, she is also able to steer the children’s learning journey to a higher level with her constant care and guidance.We also wish to praise the Chinese teacher who is very motherly with a heart for the children. Recently she purchased a special toothpaste to soothe my son’s pain as he had a bad case of ulcers. It is really heartwarming to know such a teacher who cared in small little ways and such a joy to have her in our children’s life.The assistant teacher is a great source of support to the new children by her reassuring them in the new environment. Her calm and gentle demeanor is able to soothe the children gradually as she patiently attends to their cries. Truly it is rare to see such dedication and conscientiousness in many schools nowadays. We would definitely recommend Blk20 Marine Terrace Talent Plus to other children as they have a team of dedicated, loving and experienced teachers.Yours sincerely,Mr and Mrs Soh, parents of Marcus from Marine Terrace Branch------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To whom it may concern,My child loves going to school because of the teacher and her assistant. Although they have many students in a class, they still manage to be very attentive to each and every child and parent.I would like to specially commend the teacher for her teaching skills. She is an excellent teacher with a passion for teaching. She takes the trouble and time to know each child and help them develop their own potential. She also helps parents who have concerns or questions with patience and understanding.The Talent Plus group must be very fortunate and thankful to have such passionate staff. - Happy mother of Tania Drysdale from our Pasir Ris Elias branch ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------end-------------------------------------------------------]]> <![CDATA[Our Curriculum A Holistic Learning Experience• Expressive Thematic Learning – enriching knowledge January ------------------ Discovering Me & My Five Senses February ---------------- Myself & Health care March ------------------- My House April ---------------------- My School May ----------------------- My Playground July ----------------------- Shapes & Colours August ------------------ Sea Creatures September ------------- Zoo Animals October ---------------- On the Road & Road Safety November -------------- Pre-writing Skill • Fun with Alphabets – an enhanced learning• Creative Mathematics – an experiential learning recognizing & counting of numbers, matching, comparison, classification & sorting, ordering & sequencing, estimation & capacity.• Innovative Art & Craft – integrating arts with learning• Montessori Practical Life Skills – mastery of self & environment.The children will learn the above through music & movement, speech & dramatization, cookery lesson, circle time, fun gameetc. In the process, they will also acquire moral values & socialskills that are essential for the fostering of high emotionalintelligence.------------------------------------------------------------end-------------------------------------------------------]]> <![CDATA[Our ProgrammeProgram (2 hours/session/day, 5 days/week)9.30am : -----Welcome Song9.35am : -----Circle Time/Story Telling10.00am :-- Holistic Learning -
