Social and Emotional Learning is embedded in the school’s Building Blocks curriculum, which includes Social and Emotional Development as one of six key domains. The Character Cornerstone programme is highlighted as part of this framework, aiming to help children build values and awareness of themselves and others. Other initiatives, such as Wordless Wonders, also reference developing social and communication skills through shared storytelling and imagination. While SEL is present in the curriculum design, the website does not provide further details about dedicated staff, counselling, or formal SEL policies.

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.
