Moriah Schoolhouse

My Little Cottage is a trusted brand name and is a franchise owned and operated by Moriah Schoolhouse. With our programme specially designed to be in line with the MOE desired outcomes and framework, we have nurtured young leaders with the passion for life long learning and inculcated essential values to help mould the character of each child. Committed to provide quality care and pre-school education, parents can be assured of a safe and conducive learning environment for your child.

My Little Cottage begins its humble roots in Singapore in 1999 with the main objective of providing quality pre-school education and childcare services to children aged 2 months to 6 years old.

In addition to a strong background in early childhood education, we are also trained in special education to help children with special needs. We possess the expertise to deal with children of different abilities and to help each child achieve his/her fullest potential.

Pre-School education makes a difference in a child’s early learning years. A child who sees learning as pleasurable, fun and challenging, already has a headstart in life and is on his/her journey to life-long learning. To develop a thinking nation and life-long learners, it is important to nurture our children to learn to think and to think to learn.

 

My Little Cottage strongly believes in nurturing a holistic child and developing a passion for life-long learning by providing an enjoyable environment and interactive programme based on a strong emphasis on values.

 We want to nurture a thinking child with the desire to observe, explore and discover the world that will ensure a firm foundation is built for the next stage of learning.

Children will be exposed to English language activities like rhymes, songs, role play, games and stories that will build a secure foundation in developing a proficiency in reading, writing and spelling later on.

Becoming numerate involves knowing and using numbers in ways that relationships and connections are formed. Children will learn number concepts through interesting concrete experiences.
 
Environmental Awareness
Children will learn about the world in scientific, historical and geographical ways through active involvement.

Art, music and drama allow children to express their feelings, thoughts, moods which in turn provide opportunities for them to explore their imagination and promotes creativity.

Guided motor skills activities will help children to become physically confident and competent to be able to fulfill the demands placed on them later in life.

Self & Social Awareness
Children who develop a positive sense of themselves will be successful learners and will have the necessary confidence to change, adapt and develop new skills.
