Lily Valley Preschool integrates social and emotional learning (SEL) into its curriculum through play-based and inquiry-led activities aligned with the Reggio Emilia approach. Children engage in sensory experiences like sand, water, and messy play to express emotions, develop self-regulation, and build friendships.
Educators support SEL by designing hands-on learning experiences that encourage active participation and exploration. The school also fosters strong family engagement through parent participation initiatives, workshops, and regular communication, promoting a collaborative community that supports children's social and emotional development.
Lily Valley Preschool is not a specialist Special Educational Needs (SEN) institution.
To support children for whom English is an additional language, Lily Valley Preschool integrates a bilingual Mandarin-English immersion program across all year groups. This program is designed to build English language skills alongside Mandarin, with a focus on speaking, listening, reading, and writing.
Teachers use inquiry-based, play-led approaches to provide language-rich environments and scaffold English learning in everyday activities.
While the school does not run a separate EAL program, classroom teachers are experienced in supporting language development for multilingual learners.
Lily Valley Preschool supports mental wellbeing through daily social-emotional learning and its Reggio Emilia approach. Teachers are trained to observe and respond to children’s emotional needs using play, creative expression, and group interaction.

While the school does not have a formal mental health department, wellbeing is supported through teacher practices and family engagement.
While the school does not publicly detail specific safeguarding measures, it provides a Parent Handbook outlining its policies and procedures, including those related to child safety and wellbeing.
