Show & Telllittle presentersAn excellence-driven preschool with a whole-child heart
As a bilingual, hands-on, and comprehensive preschool in Singapore's East Coast, we prepare children exceptionally well for Primary School — and for a lifetime of curious learning.
Bilingual Curriculum
Daily English–Chinese immersion through stories, conversations, phonics, and role-play — building confident communicators in both languages from the very start.
Low Teacher–Child Ratio
With intentionally small class ratios and a nurturing environment, every child receives the close attention and tailored guidance they need to thrive.
Guided, Purposeful Play
Each day blends purposeful play, guided exploration, and age-appropriate academics — building strong foundations in literacy, numeracy, and character.
Learning environments built for inquiry
Each learning environment is intentionally set up to support inquiry. Children observe, experiment, build, question, and collaborate as they move through projects that connect naturally to literacy, numeracy, science, and the arts.
- Dedicated learning areasSensory play, art creation, reading nooks, and collaborative building zones.
- Indoor playground & movementActive play every day, whatever the weather.
- Bilingual libraryA curated English–Chinese collection that grows a genuine love of reading.
A curriculum with a clear belief
Children learn best when they feel engaged, supported, and encouraged to explore. Our MOE-aligned approach blends bilingual thematic learning, hands-on experiences, and structured academic guidance.
Bilingual Literacy
Daily English–Chinese immersion, systematic Jolly Phonics, storytelling, and discussion build a solid foundation for early reading.
CPA Mathematics
Maths through the Concrete–Pictorial–Abstract method — children grasp concepts step by step before moving into abstract thinking.
Character & Confidence
Children learn to express themselves, manage emotions, work with peers, and build habits of independence and responsibility.
Primary 1 Ready

Two languages, one confident voice
At Hess Preschool, language forms the foundation of confident learning. Your child engages with English and Chinese every day — through stories, songs, phonics, conversation, and play.
Systematic phonics supports early reading: children learn to recognise sounds, blend words, and build literacy habits that last. For families in Singapore, this steady bilingual exposure provides a strong foundation for Primary School and the years ahead.

Frequently asked questions
Choosing the right preschool is a big decision — and every question counts. Here are the ones families ask us most.
Our teacher-to-child ratios are carefully designed to support each age group’s developmental needs. In our Playgroup, we maintain a ratio of 1 teacher for every 5 children, while Nursery 1 has a 1:7 ratio and Nursery 2 has a 1:10 ratio. As children grow, our Kindergarten 1 and Kindergarten 2 classes have ratios of 1:11 and 1:12, respectively, ensuring a supportive environment at every stage of your child’s learning journey.
We offer a 10% sibling discount to families with two or more children enrolled at Hess Preschool. This discount is applied monthly to the tuition of the older child or the child with the lower monthly fee.
At Hess Preschool, we use the Taidii App to keep parents informed and engaged.
Real-Time Updates: Parents receive notifications about their child’s arrival and departure, outings, nappy changes, sleep times, meals, and any accidents. In the case of an accident, we will call you immediately for transparency and update the app accordingly.
Weekly Summaries: Child-specific updates are shared weekly, summarising how the week went and outlining the activities your child participated in.
Parent-Teacher Meetings: We conduct meetings twice a year to discuss your child’s development, milestones achieved, and the next steps for their learning journey.
Absolutely! We warmly invite families to visit our campus for a personalised tour. During your visit, you’ll get the chance to explore our classrooms, learn about our approach and programmes, and experience our preschool environment firsthand.
