At Soong Ching Ling Kindergarten our Nursery pupils explore the six areas of learning via cross-curricula topics, structured activities and purposeful play.

In keeping with our school's global aims and philosophy, we value and place a balanced emphasis on the acquisition of an understanding of Chinese culture and language. The afternoon sessions of full day Nursery classes are conducted in Mandarin.
