Our Curriculum

Our Objectives

The Cherie Hearts Group believes that every aspect of a child’s development should be recognised, nurtured and developed holistically.

Children’s learning at every level is focused on knowledge, skills, abilities, dispositions and feelings. These are intellectual disposition that helps children as they learn to think and think to learn. This disposition can be observed when children are engaged meaningfully in investigation of things around them, trying to find answers to their questions and solutions to problems they encounter, these opportunities are provided in our curriculum.

Children’s Learning Journey

The Cherie Hearts Curriculum gives children the autonomy through a uniquely designed approach – The CHILD Approach – Children Holistically Inquire to Learn and Develop.

This approach is crafted using local context settings that enhance children’s learning through concrete, attention-grabbing and meaningful experiences. At the same time children also learn to understand and appreciate their learning environment in the centre and also the environment around them. They will also be exposed to multi-cultural settings and values that are incorporated in our curriculum.

Cherie Hearts offers an excellent bilingual pre-school programme in English and Mandarin for children from 18 months to 6 years old. Our team of professional and dedicated staff are trained to carry out our unique curriculum.

The Child Approach Curriculum

The Cherie Hearts Group International with its team of in-house specialists in Early Childhood, Child Development and Child Psychology has developed an active and interactive curriculum. The curriculum focuses on promoting the growth of the child in all areas of development - Physical, Social, Emotional, Cognitive and Language and the curriculum’s focal point is to develop a whole child.

Lessons are planned in progression over the age levels from Playgroup 1 to Kindergarten 2. This facilitates continuous learning, because each lesson is built upon previous lesson and the children’s prior knowledge. Our teachers are guided and trained to use the prescribed lesson to ensure the quality of the curriculum is adhered in all the Cherie Hearts centres.

There are two curriculum designed – Jump Start Years Curriculum for the Playgroup 1 and 2 children and the Bridging Years Curriculum for Nursery, Kindergarten 1 and Kindergarten 2.

The Jump Start Years Curriculum’s introduces various learning experiences to develop children’s various intelligences identified in the following areas: -

• Fine Motor Skills
• Cognitive Domain
• Gross Motor Skilld
• Language Acquisition
• Aesthetic & Affective Domains

The Bridging Years enhances on what the children have been exposed to in Jump Start Years and introduces learning experiences to develop children’s various intelligences as identified in the following areas: -

• Aesthetic & Creative
• Environmental Awareness
• Language & Literacy
• Motor Development
• Mathematical Thinking
• Self & Social Awareness

The curriculum is carried out in a conducive learning environment where children are given opportunities to explore and extend their learning using various learning centres. This helps to cultivate a positive ‘I can learn’ in attitude among the children. The activities, materials and games in the learning centres are specially designed to engage children in their thinking and active learning. This helps support the planned lessons, reinforces the concepts by revisiting, and promotes self-directed, independent and co-operative play and learning.

The School Readiness Programme for Kindergarten 2 children is a holistic approach designed specially to help the children transit smoothly from pre-school to the formal system in Primary School. The School Readiness Programme will emphasise on academic achievements and help nurture and prepare the children for the social and emotional adjustments that they will face in the Primary One school setting.

These experiences will help children for the SEED programme – Strategies for Effective Engagement and Development programme that has been introduced in Primary 1.
