Children’s Cove (founded 2010) operates preschools in Singapore and describes the Amoy centre as being in the “cultural nook of Amoy Street.” The group’s proprietary Building Blocks™ curriculum covers language and literacy, numeracy, discovery of the world, social-emotional learning, motor skills, and aesthetics/creative expression. Learning is supported by Exploration Zones™, including initiatives such as Makers Lab (hands-on exploration of science, light, and architecture) and literacy projects like Wordless Wonders (an ECDA Innovation-Grant project). The programme is bilingual, with English–Chinese immersion described in early years stages. Ages served across the group range from 2 months to 6 years, with published teacher-child ratios from 1:3 (Infant) to 1:12 (K2). Campus pages highlight outdoor learning spaces and creative ateliers; however, the Amoy page on the official site provides limited campus-specific operational details.
