Our Curriculum
Our skilled Montessori educators curate a curriculum that hones language and math skills, laying a strong foundation for each child’s educational journey.
Through personalised learning, vertical integration and extended work cycles, we distinguish ourselves from other preschools. Our tailored school days encompass Montessori activities, Mandarin, creative sessions and outdoor play, ensuring a well-rounded and enriching educational experience.
A Learning Journey
Tailored to Your Child's Age
Our bespoke curriculum evolves with your child’s age and stage of development. Each subject is thoughtfully introduced to support holistic growth and build readiness for lifelong learning. Consistently applied across all House on the Hill centres, our curriculum ensures every child receives the same high-quality learning experience, wherever they are.
Practical Life
Our Practical Life exercises centre on self-care and essential daily activities. Through these tasks, children develop lifelong skills, building both independence and self-esteem.
Sensorial
Our manipulatives and materials offer a variety of activities designed to engage and challenge children. From identifying shapes to developing tactile recognition, each exercise is centred on refining their senses.
Language
Language learning begins with a strong foundation in English, taught through our hands-on Montessori phonics approach. We also offer Mandarin and Japanese lessons, using immersive experiences such as storytelling, games and cultural activities to build vocabulary, develop word pattern recognition, and foster confident reading skills.
Mathematics
Our Montessori mathematics materials help children grasp key concepts such as numeration, place value, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. We develop each child’s mathematical mind by including hands-on activities that foster positive associations with numbers.
Culture & Geography
Children will learn about the world they live in and its diverse cultures through subjects such as science, zoology, geography, history and art.
Creative Expression
Through group activities in visual arts, music and movement, we help your child develop their unique expression of creative imagination.
Social Awareness
As children engage with their classmates, teachers and surroundings through thoughtful daily activities and interactions, they develop social and emotional awareness.
Outdoor Learning
A place where exploration and imagination come alive, offering a nurturing environment where children learn through play and connect with the natural world.

A Glimpse into a Typical School Day
Nutritious & Holistic Lunchtime
Our lunchtime features nutritionist-developed menus and encourages independence and healthy habits through self-service, shared conversations and respectful table routines, nurturing both body and community.
Language Immersion & Community
Language is a bridge to understanding. Through daily Mandarin immersion, children build communication skills and gain insight into different cultures and ways of life. Through stories, songs and traditions, they develop empathy, respect and a deeper connection to the diverse communities that make up our global society.
Outdoor Play
Outdoor play allows children to explore, move freely, and connect with nature. Through hands-on activities, they build coordination, independence, curiosity and respect for their environment — key aspects of Montessori learning.
Morning Movement & Montessori Cycle
The day begins with energising movement activities that prepare children's minds and bodies for the day ahead. This is followed by the Montessori Work Cycle — an uninterrupted period where children explore self-chosen tasks, developing focus, independence and a lasting love for learning.
Mandarin Immersion
Where Mandarin is
More Than a Language
Our immersive Mandarin programme blends language learning with culture, using stories, songs and play to build fluency, empathy and appreciation for the wider community.
