The school highlights the Reggio Emilia–inspired belief in the “image of the child” as capable, curious, and full of potential. Social and emotional development is embedded in everyday interactions, with educators working alongside children to build respectful relationships and encourage collaboration. The environment includes shared spaces such as the piazza and atelier, where children practice cooperation and negotiation through project work. Family engagement is also emphasised, with routines developed in consultation with parents. These practices frame SEL as part of the daily curriculum rather than a separate programme.

Blue House International – Tanglin (Kay Siang Road) is a preschool for children 18 months to 6 years set in a black-and-white bungalow near Tanglin Road, with gardens and a Community Park used daily for learning. The campus follows a Reggio Emilia–inspired, bilingual (English–Mandarin) emergent curriculum, with English and Mandarin educators collaborating along children’s lines of inquiry. Published educator-to-child ratios range from 1:6 in Playgroup to 1:10 in Kindergarten, and the day includes indoor ateliers, a mud kitchen, a library and shared piazza spaces. Families can opt for Half Day or Full Day programmes; the school partners with BusTech Pte Ltd for bus services. A signature feature at Tanglin is the “Atelier Under the Sky”—an outdoor classroom that blends Reggio practice with forest-school elements in the adjacent park. Optional Discover Classes with specialist educators in Art, Music and Mandarin extend children’s interests across the week.
