It was the vision of our wise predecessors to provide quality education for students from kindergarten through to high school. Nanyang Kindergarten grew and evolved into a kindergarten entity on its own in 1960, marked by its historic move into 118 King's Road in the same year. After the war in 1945, with the concerted and dedicated efforts of the Board of Directors, management, staff and alumni, the School was slowly restored to its former glory. School facilities were destroyed during the Japanese Occupation. During the Second World War, the school premises were used as a field office by the British Army. I am sure your connection with TKS Kindergarten will be a positive one and we look forward to working in partnership with you.Nanyang Kindergarten was founded in July 1934 and is believed to have been the first Chinese kindergarten in the whole of the Malayan Peninsular at that time.

Finding a balance between the academic, physical, social, and emotional development within our play-based environment is an integral part of early childhood education.

We use their prior knowledge and previous experiences as a basis for further learning, as together we engage in authentic instructional experiences. We individualize learning outcomes which include a differentiated approach to the development of knowledge, skills, and attitudes as each child builds on their working theories of the world they inhabit. Establishing positive relationships is vital to success for our children and their families, who entrust us to provide a setting that values fostering a strong home-school connection.Īs early childhood educators, we are open-minded and culturally sensitive. We value the uniqueness of each child as a learner and the need to create an environment that is safe and secure. We focus on enhancing children's natural curiosity about the world around them. Our Early Childhood program serves students in Grades K1 (age 3) - to K3 (age 5), and is on a dedicated developmentally appropriate campus. With 430 students from 75 different nationalities in Kindergarten, we’re proud of our diverse and inclusive school community. Through play, our children inquire, question, wonder and theorize about themselves, others and the world around them. It provides an inquiry-driven, play-based program where children are empowered to be active participants in their own learning.
