ChildFirst Preschool incorporates SEL mainly through the Human Intelligence (HI) strand of its curriculum. Programmes such as the Sensory Experiences Programme (SEP) and Toddler Gym (for Pre-Nursery and Nursery 1) are designed to help children develop self-regulation, motor skills, and social interaction. Classroom activities focus on life skills, character building, and executive function development as part of daily routines. Learning journeys, such as visits to community facilities and nature walks, also encourage teamwork and cooperation. The school highlights these experiences as ways of cultivating resilience and social awareness from an early age.
