Children’s Cove Preschool (Novena) is located at 11 Akyab Road in a quiet pocket near Orchard Road. The campus is described as a heritage house with a sprawling garden, giving children daily access to outdoor learning spaces. Programmes span infant care (2–18 months) through kindergarten (K1–K2), guided by Children’s Cove’s proprietary Building Block and Exploration Zone within the C.O.V.E. approach. For older preschoolers, weekly English and Chinese current-affairs reading and discussion are part of the curriculum. Network initiatives include “From Farm to Table,” an ECDA-supported programme that brings gardening and cookery into the timetable to build nutrition awareness and hands-on learning. The school has multiple locations across Singapore and invites families to book a school tour or attend events to see classrooms and outdoor areas in action.
