Welcome to our kindergarten website. As you navigate through the website, I hope you will get to know more about our kindergarten and the features that make us unique. From our earliest beginning in 1985, St. Joseph's Church Kindergarten has been committed to provide quality early childhood education to young children. The management and staff continuously learn and strive to bring about the best for the children under our care. Our 19 years of achievement is one of pride for the standard of excellence and innovation we have brought to early childhood education in Singapore.

Our staff place great emphasis in providing a developmentally appropriate early childhood education programme for the children. Our child-centred approach is in line with the curriculum guidelines suggested by the Ministry of Education. Our approach is centred on the following principles:

- Holistic development and learning
- Integrated learning
- Active learning
- Supporting learning
- Learning through interactions
- Learning through play

With effect from January 2004, operating in the new building, blessed with more rooms, bigger space and better facilities, we will continue to achieve our vision of facilitating more active learning among children. The warm, caring and safe environment, together with team of dedicated and caring teachers, will provide meaningful and enriching educational experiences to develop the potential of our children. It is our desires to have our teachers continuously upgrade their skills through professional training so that they are empowered to bring out the best in the children.

We believe that parents are key partners and they play a crucial role in their children's development. We are grateful to the strong commitment and active involvement of our parents and we seek the continued support of all parents in working with the kindergarten to enhance children's learning and development. With the concerted efforts from the kindergarten and home, I am confident that St. Joseph's Church Kindergarten will realize our vision to be a Kindergarten of Distinction.



Yours sincerely,

Mrs Elizabeth Tan
Principal
