MindChamps International PreSchool

Our family has first heard of MindChamps Preschool in Singapore as it is one of the most sought-after preschool. Strategically lcoated in prominent shopping malls, business parks, and on landed properties, some of its branches like those in Tampines and CBP (Changi Business Park), Toa Payoh are almost always fully-booked. That is why we were over the moon when we learnt that MindChamps is already here in the Philippines - Taguig City!

Approach 
MindChamps uses a "crafted play" approach that carefully and purposely integrated learning through play; hence, making the child not only good at learning, but passionate about learning as well. Its unique and advanced curriculum is developed by world-class professionals with extensive experience in Education, Child Psychology, Neurosciences, and Theatre.

Despite being a Singapore School, MndChamps also cater to Non-Chinese students.

What We Love About MindChamps
* Preparation for the Big School 
MindChamps curriculum, although play-based, assures Mommies and Daddies that their little ones will be prepared and equipped to enter big schools like Assumption (Teacher Anna was an Asusmptionista, herself!), Poveda, ICA, Xavier, Ateneo, Lasalle, and other international schools.

Bulletin boards are beautifully decorated to display students' works 

MindChamps also nurtures all aspects of the child through their different types of programs and enrichment activities like Language Made fun, The Love for the Chinese Language, Inquiry Moments, Numeracy Strategies, Music for the Mind, NeuroMooves, Gourmet Moments, and Creativity and Theatrical Strategies. 

Some of the many fun-filled activities the "Champs" got to enjoy and experience in and out of school

* Low Student: Teacher Ratio
Like many playschools we have visited, MindChamps has very low teacher:student ratio. There is also a teacher aide present in the classroom.

Healthy hygiene habits are more fun to learn in a place where everything is child-friendly 

Also, there is an assigned teacher who prepares the snacks in the pantry. Yes, Mommies, snacks are already included in the tuition fee, so you can be confident that your babies are served with a variety of healthy delicious snacks everyday. If your baby has an allergy to a certain food, kindly remind MindChamps upon enrolment.

Today, it's waffles prepared by the other class! 

Moreover, teachers undergo 200++ hours of compulsory training and accreditation in Singapore and annual training in St. Luke's Global City for first aid. Concern for the health is also very evident in MindChamps. Teachers check the students' temperature and look for other symptoms of fever, foot-and-mouth disease, and others.

* Huge Space tailored fit for the Little Champs 
MindChamps' Flagship Campus in Taguig is HUGE and gives the "school-homey" feel.  The hallway is decorated with brain-based decorations that make students feel comfortable and safe.

Each room is spacious with furniture made-just-right for the little ones.

Gourmet Room where students make their own snacks

Besides the classrooms, there are also separate rooms for other activities like the Gourmet Room and the Gym.

Even the washrooms are designed for the little ones! Toilet bowls, doors, faucets, and sinks are just the perfect size for toddlers.

Fees & Schedule 
For more information about the exact tuition fees, please feel free to contact MindChamps through the numbers listed below. Payments are on a per month basis. Materials and snacks, yes snacks!, are included in the tuition fee already. I'm not sure if field trip and other extra curricular activities are also included in the tuition fee.

Regarding the schedule, there are morning and afternoon classes. Teachers, upon assessment, may recommend the best schedule for your baby.

Overall 
My roommate (my husband, btw) and I are truly impressed with MindChamps. We love the teacher, the curriculum, the school, and the view at the Penthouse.

We also love that it's a structured play and children follow a schedule of different activities everyday. This way, they already have a feel of how big school is like without the pressure of the academic requirements of course.

I can say MindChamps International Preschool is an excellent choice for a playschool before our tots enter big school.
