If you're researching early years schools, you've probably noticed that every school describes itself slightly differently. Play-based, Reggio-inspired, Montessori, Forest School... but what do these mean in practice, and how do you tell which is right for your child?

Join us for a discussion with early years leaders from Singapore international schools. They'll walk through some of the most common approaches, what 2-6 yrs-old children get out of each approach, and answer some of the most commonly asked questions.

Dover Court International School. A long-standing Nord Anglia school in Singapore with a strong inclusive ethos. Dover Court's Early Years is Reggio-inspired and play-based, with learning shaped by what the children are curious about rather than a fixed timetable. Their angle is useful for parents wanting to understand what a play-led, child-centred Early Years looks like in practice.

Nexus (Singapore). A school that runs the IB Primary Years Programme from Early Years upwards. Their approach builds learning around big themes and questions rather than separate subjects, with plenty of outdoor and hands-on time. Their angle is useful for parents weighing up an IB start against more traditional British or American Early Years.

Melbourne International School.A well-established inclusive international school in Singapore, Melbourne International School (MIS) is WASC-accredited and Edu Trust-certified, supporting children in early years and primary through a highly personalised, wellbeing-focused approach. Its CONNECT Method, developed by Ms Jayne Nadarajoo places emotional safety and relationships at the core, with integrated therapy and multi-sensory learning embedded into daily classroom experiences. Their angle is useful for parents seeking a nurturing environment that supports diverse learning needs while preparing children for mainstream, further education with pathways to vocational training through its sister school, The GUILD International College.
