Primus Schoolhouse: Reggio-Inspired Bilingual Preschool
PRIMUS SCHOOLHOUSE
At Primus Schoolhouse, we believe education must evolve in order to keep up with the demands of the future. Inspired by the Reggio Emilia Project of Northern Italy, our educational approach focuses on nurturing  competent, curious, and socially adept children eager to learn. On this token, the bilingual curriculum and inquiry-based learning approach at our childcare centres are geared towards bringing out the best in every child, providing them with opportunities for self-discovery and realizing their full potential, backed with a solid grounding in values.
As one of the top preschools in Singapore, we provide a nurturing environment where children can thrive holistically. Our commitment to excellence ensures that children receive a solid foundation in values while developing essential skills for success.

Programmes & Curriculum
Early Years Curriculum
(18 months to 2 years)
Our Reggio Emilia-inspired preschools offer a developmentally appropriate Early Years curriculum, emphasising the child's holistic development. This includes the child's ability to communicate (verbally and nonverbally) and express themselves creatively, as well as physical, social, and emotional well-being and early numeracy.
Tailored to each child's age and developmental stage, our pre-nursery and nursery curriculum is designed to ensure every experience incorporates the development of skills, knowledge and understanding. This provides a foundation for children to learn how to make sense of their world, engage in inquisitive exploration, and interact positively with others, in large and small groups. The early years childcare programme is designed to spark children’s imagination, creativity, and curiosity while building their confidence and self-management skills.
Our Early Years Curriculum
Preschool Years Curriculum
The Preschool Years curriculum lays a foundation for every child to engage in life-long learning through a holistic approach. Our bilingual preschool programme integrates learning activities in the areas of aesthetics and creative expression, environmental awareness, language and literacy, motor skills development, numeracy, and self-awareness, laying a strong foundation for lifelong learning.
To enable a smooth transition from kindergarten to primary school, our bilingual curriculum (English and Chinese), expands children's language and literacy skills to include reading, writing, and maths concepts. Instead of simply memorising and regurgitating information, children are facilitated to develop more complex mental processes (higher order thinking skills) and taught how to apply knowledge to demonstrate understanding. Children will develop into active thinkers and problem solvers through a series of inquiry experiences as they delve deeply into them, seek out the answers to their questions, experiment, and analyse their results, and then share their reflections and learning with the class and parents!
At our designated Primus schoolhouse campuses, we provide a Chinese immersion program within our bilingual preschool, enhancing each child's Mandarin learning journey and equipping them for achievement in academic and multicultural environments.
Our Preschool Years Curriculum
At Primus Schoolhouse, we offer a bilingual preschool experience with a Chinese immersion program that enriches every child's learning journey, preparing them for success in academic and multicultural settings.

Parent Testimonials
My daughter had a lot of fun when she was there. She enjoys the art and sensory. She was very shy initially and the teachers have boosted her confidence tremendously. We saw improvements on her and strongly recommend this school to others.

Highly recommended for your little ones! Our 2.5 year old attended a week-long holiday programme during her vacation from her regular preschool, just before Circuit Breaker.

Great school to take your kids to! Staff are extremely friendly and accommodating.
Ms. Rochelle has helped our Son to improve his confidence in reading and telling the time. When he was a bit behind due to us going on holiday she took time to help him catch up and keep his confidence up as he went through the activities. Ms. Urenee is wonderful, caring and supportive, definitely one of our kids favourite teachers. She makes every effort to keep us up to date and takes excellent care of our daughter, building her self confidence. Ms. Sharma took time to research how to address certain topics with our Daughter and shared this research with us. She also took the time to speak directly with Cara, providing support, guidance and reassurance.
