Lily Valley PreschoolThe best learning happens when children are having fun. Our play-based preschool approach at Lily Valley inspires children to learn, explore, and create. Combined with our safe and stimulating learning ateliers, we turn early education into an experience to treasure.
Play-based learning is an approach where children learn through exploration and interaction with their environment. Through purposeful play, children can develop a wide range of skills, from cognitive to social.
At Lily Valley, we believe that play is a natural part of childhood development – one that synergises perfectly with our Reggio-Emilia-inspired curriculum.
Our Reggio-Emilia-inspired approach sees children learning through a balanced mix of free play and structured activities. In this way, our teachers can nurture children’s creativity and curiosity through carefully designed play-based learning.
Our special learning ateliers have been designed as dedicated learning areas that inspire experimentation. We have a light atelier where children discover the interplay of light and shadow, for example, or an art atelier where they can learn through various media.
Children in our preschool spend time in the ateliers daily, getting hands-on experiences that encourage them to explore and express themselves across different domains. And they have fun!
Our curriculum is deeply rooted in the Reggio Emilia philosophy, which encourages child-centred exploration. At Lily Valley, children take charge of their learning and teachers support their natural curiosities and offer guided free play.
This means children are encouraged to ask questions, explore ideas, solve problems and even delve deeper into topics of interest. Our teachers provide the tools, resources and support, but the children seek and discover answers on their own.
Children learn through shared play in our preschool, letting them practise communication, cooperation, and negotiation. It provides them with opportunities to navigate conflict and discover empathy.
In the process, they develop meaningful relationships and communication skills that will last the rest of their lives.

The school environment gives warm and comforting vibes, which provides my toddler room to explore freely while learning through discovery and play. In addition, the school facilities are carefully designed to be child-friendly.
