Early Childhood Programme at OWIS Nanyang
Starting with our youngest preschoolers in our Early Childhood grades, we nurture a love of learning and inquiry that lasts well beyond their academic years at One World International School, Singapore.
What to expect from our Early Childhood Programme
Safe and Inviting Learning Environment
Play-Based and Inquiry-Led Learning
Based on the IB PYP and underpinned by the English National Curriculum, our school programme for Early Childhood follows a play-based and inquiry-led approach to learning. Through activities suitable for their development stage, your child embarks on an exciting journey of self-discovery and sensory exploration of the world around them.
How We Stay True to Our Values
Dedicated, caring and enthusiastic teachers encourage your child to develop a sense of responsibility, self-confidence and independence from a young age.
Our educators are trained to deliver IB programme and continuously expand their knowledge and skills, so they can meet our high standard of education and provide your child with the personal care and support they need.
Continuity from Early Childhood to Secondary School
Early childhood education at OWIS is your first opportunity to introduce your child to an all-through school in Singapore. At the end of Early Childhood, your children are ready to take their natural inquiry and curiosity, independence, self-confidence, sense of responsibility, and excellent academic skills to our vibrant Primary School and academically-rigorous Secondary School. Our passionate and dedicated teachers prepare them with the skills they need not just to succeed in their present grade, but also to achieve their potential in the next stage of their academic journey. If your family will be living in Singapore for the long-term, OWIS is the learning partner that will nurture your child’s potential all through their school life and the place where they will feel at home on every school day.
Discover how our play-based and inquiry-led learning approach stimulates a love of learning in young children.

My daughter really loves learning about other cultures and traditions from around the world. OWIS has such diversity, leading to many great learning opportunities for the students. My daughter has come to appreciate differences and respect others while being proud of her own heritage.
Madison C.
All of our children have bloomed, and have become more confident and independent. They are all excited about learning. My oldest is so proud that she has learned how to read and has made some wonderful friends at school. It is clear that kindness and international mindedness are a core philosophy of the school. These values are incorporated into the daily activities and celebrated during special occasions. My children come home talking about the special things they do to celebrate kind acts at school. The level of care and dedication displayed by Miss Nurul and other staff is second to none.
