Bucket House Preschool was founded in 2018 by Amber Koh, who continues to serve as the school’s Director. The founder’s story highlights professional training in Reggio Emilia, Italy, and participation in early childhood conferences, which helped shape the school’s philosophy and practice. In 2024, the school marked its fifth anniversary with a large exhibition celebrating children’s projects and learning journeys. The preschool remains privately owned and operated, with a strong focus on inquiry-based early years education.
The school community is actively involved in celebrating children’s learning outcomes. Each year, the preschool organises an Annual Exhibition, where families view inquiry projects and children present their work. Parents are also invited to join tours, enrichment events, and performances, reflecting the school’s collaborative approach to early education.
The school’s website does not mention a formal Parent Teacher Association (PTA). While families are encouraged to engage in community events such as the annual exhibition and settling-in activities, no specific PTA structure, committees, or events are described.
Bucket House Preschool is a Reggio Emilia–inspired school in Woodlands, Singapore, serving children from 18 months to 6 years. Its bilingual immersion programme features Mandarin as the second language and blends planned activities with inquiry learning through the school’s “IEIE” method—Initiate, Explore, Inquire, Experiment. The curriculum is informed by Singapore’s EYDF and NEL frameworks. A distinctive feature is the Atelier, a studio-style space guided by a resident Atelierista where children explore diverse media and document their learning. Children also engage with the Mini Remida, which uses recycled and repurposed materials to foster creativity and sustainability. The school operates Monday to Friday, 7am–7pm, and offers enrichment such as Julia Gabriel Speech & Drama. Families are invited to book a tour, and admissions are open year-round subject to availability.
