Welcome to Kensington Preschool

Kensington Preschool offers a dual language curriculum for children aged 2 months to 6 year old. We develop children’s interest of learning through diverse classes, and the whole curriculum was delivered bilingually and inquiry-based. We are more than a place to play and learn—we are a nurturing community where values grow, thinking blossoms, fitness develops, and aesthetic promotes.

Vision

To inspire a generation of children who lead with empathy, think with curiosity, and grow with confidence grounded in their identity and ready to make meaningful contributions to the world.

Mission

To nurture every child’s sense of self, resilience, and joy for learning by building strong partnerships with families and creating a safe, inclusive environment where children feel seen, heard, and empowered to flourish.

Core Values

  • Respect: We nurture kindness, empathy, and care for people, cultures, and ideas
  • Curiosity: We spark wonder and encourage children to explore, ask questions, and discover new possibilities
  • Confidence: We build self-belief through meaningful relationships, purposeful play, and child-led learning.
  • Resilience: We support children to try, learn from mistakes, and keep going with a positive mindset.
  • Our Philosophy

    At Kensington, we nurture the whole child through a bilingual, inquiry-based approach that blends tradition with innovation. Rooted in culture, curiosity, and play, our philosophy builds confident, compassionate learners ready to thrive in school and beyond.

    We've had a good experience sending our child to the preschool in the past few months, observing -
    - Caring and responsible teachers who show a genuine heart for the children, are warm and approachable, and are able to handle different personalities well. This was very important to us, as the teachers attitudes and behaviours have direct impact on a child's engagement and responsiveness to their teaching. The teachers also went out of their way to help my child feel comfortable when she was unwell. We are comforted that she is receiving good care.
    - Regular updates via app with photos of activities, syllabus, and informal chats during daily pickup / drop off. This keeps us informed of how our child is progressing and adapting.
    - Structured learning program coupled with montessori pedagogy encouraging independence, which sets the children up well in their growth and development.
    - Peaceful and private premise located in a standalone house providing safe, calm, and conducive environment.
    - Celebration of special occasions (eg mooncake festival, children's day, etc) as well as special activities (eg soccer days, outing days, excursions) to enrich the overall learning experience.

    My son started at OCHM since June 2024 and I’m really happy with his progress in development. He seems to be really enjoying himself and when I ask if he likes his teachers he always says yes! 🙂

    I also like that the school organises many events for the children and also for parents to participate in together with them if they would like to.

    Their curriculum also seems well thought out and I find that my son does more independent and imaginary play at home too.

    Thank you to the caring and observant teachers for taking such good care of him. Would definitely recommend parents to check out OCHM!

    Today is the last day at this school for my twins before they head to P1 next month. I just want to say a huge thank you to all the teachers there and they had taken great care of my boys! My boys especially my older one has become more open with everything since he joined the school, while he was more of a quiet type in the previous school.

    Thank you for everything and I’m sure the boys will miss you all!

    Our family is grateful that we chose OCHM as my daughter's first preschool, when we moved to Singapore. She was nervous and afraid when she first stepped into OCHM, but when we picked her up, she smiled and told us how much fun she had. She learned so much from her teachers, and they helped her adapt to a new country with a variety of cultures and languages. We are truly appreciate the love and kindness from teachers. Also, the lovely classmates and environment make everything enjoyable and inspiring.

    Thank you very much for your careful support during our daughter’s stay in your good school.

    We could see her greater progress in all such as communication skills, functional growth, emotional developments, etc.

    Recently, she has become more open-minded which we could not imagine from her shyness in the very beginning when she enrolled in.

    We are now worry-free to take her to Australia and pretty sure that she will manage herself to settle down to the new environment.

    Without your kind help, we would not have decided to make a move to our migration plan to Australia.

    Huge appreciation again to your all the staff supported for our daughter!
