Rain Trees follows the UK Early Years National Curriculum, adapted for an international context. The curriculum is play-based and structured around key areas of early childhood development, including language and communication, physical development, personal and social skills, literacy, mathematics, understanding the world, and expressive arts.
Daily activities include storytelling, role play, music, movement, outdoor exploration, and hands-on learning. Mandarin is taught for 30–45 minutes each day across all age groups.
Children in Butterflies and Sunbirds focus on socialisation and routine, while older children in Dragonflies, Ladybirds, and Busy Bees engage in more structured pre-literacy and numeracy activities. Afternoon sessions offer extended learning in either English or Mandarin, and optional co-curricular activities are available after school.
Rain Trees International Kindergarten caters for children aged 18 months to 6 years, following the UK Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum. The school emphasizes learning through play, hands-on activities, and discovery. A standout feature is the expansive 35,000 square feet garden, equipped with climbing frames, sandpits, ride-on toys, and a vegetable patch where children cultivate their own produce. For younger children, a Parent and Toddler Group is available, facilitating a gentle introduction to the school environment.
