Little Seeds Preschool (TSA - Tampines) offers a faith-based, bilingual curriculum for children from Pre-Nursery through Kindergarten 2 (PN–K2), with programs for children aged 6 months to 6 years. The program emphasizes Values Matter, with 3–4 values taught per term and integrated into daily devotions across all levels. Language and literacy are delivered through English phonics (Phonics & Reading) for N–K2, and Chinese Thematic & Story-based Learning for PG–K2. Curriculum areas include Art, Music & Movement, Numeracy, and Discovery of the World through a play-based, inquiry-led approach, with Toddler Tinker Time and Chinese/Mandarin integration. The curriculum draws on the Reggio Emilia Approach and Mind in the Making, emphasizing child-led learning, executive function skills, and preparation for P1 and beyond.

Little Seeds Tampines emphasizes a values-based approach to social and emotional development. The Values Matter program runs across all levels, teaching 3–4 values per term and integrating these values into daily devotions. Values for Life builds moral and character development, including unhurried conversations about life and its challenges and values-in-action. Executive Function & Life Skills develop cognitive abilities such as cognitive flexibility, working memory, and inhibitory control, and teach seven essential life skills: focus and self-control; perspective taking; communicating; making connections; critical thinking; taking on challenges; and self-directed engaged learning. The learning approach is child-led, with an emphasis on tailoring learning to each child's pace and partnering with parents, and daily outdoor play supports holistic growth.

The school does not publicly disclose dedicated SEN provision or staff. The Curriculum describes an inclusive approach, stating that learning is child-led and that there are multiple pathways to learning, with a commitment to tailoring learning to each child's needs. It does not specify which kinds of Special Educational Needs the centre can support or whether it operates as a specialist SEN institution. This suggests an inclusive preschool framework but does not provide explicit SEN program details in the public materials.

The school provides a bilingual learning environment in English and Chinese. The site does not specify a dedicated EAL program or staff. There is no explicit mention of EAL assessment, targeted language supports, or language development specialists in the available materials. The bilingual offering appears to be the primary approach to language support for learners with English as an additional language.

Mental wellbeing is integrated into the curriculum through Values Matter and Values for Life, including unhurried conversations about life and its challenges and values-in-action. The program emphasizes executive function and life skills to support self-regulation, perspective-taking, and problem solving. Daily outdoor play and routine movement are part of the learning day to support physical and holistic well-being. The approach is described as child-led and relationship-focused, with collaboration with families as partners in learning.

The centre lists a Centre Chaplain (Captains Raymond and Cathy Aloba) who provide pastoral support at the Tampines site.
