Thank you to our partners for providing this post.

Worldwide Singapore is known to have a very advanced and competitive educational system. If you live in Singapore or are planning a move and wondering how you will find a good school for your child then this is the post for you! Here are some tips from International preschools in Singapore that will help you find the best school for your toddler in Singapore.

Check out the school’s curriculum

Preschool is important because it introduces the whole concept of school to a toddler. It will be the first time that they will be out of the house and away from their parents and the first time to meet teachers and classmates. Since schools have different curriculum’s and programs it is important that you check it out. Unlike college students, children cannot choose a course to take so it is up the parents to choose what they want for their kids.

Close to home

It will be better if the school that you will pick is near your home. This way travel time is convenient as you do not want to stress your kids or yourself with long hours in traffic going to and from school. Long commute times can make them feel more tired resulting in poor attitude and performance in school.

Small number of students per class

It is also important to check the number of students per class so you know that the teacher can give proper attention not only to your toddler but to every kid in the class. Small children need strict guidance and attention so it is ideal that there are less than 15 students in a class.

Find out the school hours

Preschool is usually fun and you want your kids to enjoy their time there while subtly instilling the concept of education with them. You do not want to drain the kids by enrolling them in a 6 or 8 hour class per day so checking the schedule is a must do to ensure that the school is doable for your kids and your schedule.

Meet the teachers and principal

Lastly it would be helpful to get to know the teachers and other school officials that are in charge and spending time with your kids. Of course you want to know the people that you will entrust your kids with once they leave the house. Make sure they are background checked and have the proper credentials to be teaching your kids.
