ChildFirst @ Hillview opened in March 2024 at 63 Hillview Ave, a short walk from Hillview MRT (Exit B). The school delivers a bespoke iUnique curriculum that blends Human Intelligence (HI), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Multiple Intelligences (MI) with a trilingual approach—English, Chinese and Coding—from the early years. Children encounter computational thinking, coding and robotics as part of daily learning, alongside language development supported by in-house AI tools such as AI Chinese and AI Maths. Facilities highlighted across the group include digital learning spaces and activity areas for sensory play. A distinctive feature is ChildFirst’s positioning as a trilingual preschool: “a first for any preschool in Singapore”, with equal emphasis on the three strands and nearby transport access for families. School operating hours run 7:00am–7:00pm for full-day care, with half-day options.
