ChildFirst is part of Ednovation, a Singapore-based education group founded in 1991. The Tampines campus officially opened in August 2014, marked by a grand opening event. Since then, the centre has become one of several ChildFirst locations across Singapore. The brand is positioned around a distinctive Trilingual and iUnique Curriculum, developed under Ednovation’s ownership and curriculum design.
Community life at ChildFirst @ Tampines is reflected in regular festive celebrations, parent–child activities, and neighbourhood outings. Examples include visits to Our Tampines Hub and the Tampines Library, as well as creative arts and science-focused excursions, such as the ArtScience Museum. Celebrations of cultural events, such as the Chinese New Year, the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Thanksgiving, are documented with photos and student participation.
The website does not list a formal Parent Teacher Association (PTA) structure for Tampines. Instead, family involvement is evident through school-organised parent–child activities and opportunities for parents to participate in events such as festive celebrations and excursions. Testimonials on the site describe close communication with teachers and principals, suggesting an informal but active parent–school relationship. Parents are regularly invited to participate in thematic classroom projects, performances, and community celebrations, creating avenues for family engagement even without a named PTA body.
ChildFirst @ Tampines caters to children aged 18 months to 6 years. It offers an innovative trilingual education in English, Chinese, and Coding, following its own iUnique Curriculum which emphasizes Artificial Intelligence (AI), Human Intelligence (HI), and Multiple Intelligences (MI). The campus boasts modern classrooms, a coding lab, and indoor play areas designed to stimulate learning and creativity.
