Children’s Cove Preschool (Sembawang) is located inside Sembawang Shopping Centre, placing daily learning next to family amenities and the mall’s playground and water park. The centre runs programmes from Infant Care (2–18 months) through Kindergarten (5–6 years), using Children’s Cove’s proprietary C.O.V.E. approach with in-house frameworks like Building Blocks™ and Exploration Zones. The Sembawang page spotlights a language-arts focused programme where children “sing, dance, play, write, and experiment,” and also mentions learning beyond the classroom through real-world experiences in the mall setting. Families will also find a shuttle bus service to SSC, noted for convenient access. Age bands and availability (including Infant Care at Sembawang) are listed on the curriculum pages; specific class sizes, languages of instruction, and fee amounts are not published on the site.
