BRIGHT YOUNG THINGS

KIDDIWINKIE SCHOOLHOUSE

What parents say Juliane and Martin Fuerl, German; Oscar (2.5) Oscar started off with Kiddiwinkie’s Infant Care programme when he was 11 months old, and moved on to the Playgroup class at 18 months. He was one of the first few children who joined the Orchard centre when it first opened and has been there for one and a half years now. We chose Kiddiwinkie because it offers a very modern, bright and spacious environment, especially a vast outdoor area with a playground, waterplay and garden. The team of teachers are very lovely and passionate. They encourage the children to develop their creativity with many innovative games and handmade toys, which they get to take home as well. Oscar gets to experience many sensorial activities such as food crafting and drawing using a variety of colourful materials. It’s really no surprise for us to see how much he loves going to school and playing with his friends and teachers. As the Kiddiwinkie team puts in a lot of effort to develop new and creative ideas, there are many opportunities for Oscar to explore and learn. During the year-end concert, the children dressed up in different fanciful costumes and showcased a dance performance. Oscar loved it and keeps talking about it when he comes home. The children also benefit from a truly international environment by celebrating the different cultural days and holidays with special decorations and cuisines throughout the year.
