SJI International Preschool is situated at 49A Holland Road, Singapore. The campus is located in a quiet, leafy corner of the well-known Holland Road area, featuring natural outdoor spaces and urban farming areas. This central location is easily accessible by local transport links for families living in or commuting through the city.
The preschool caters to children aged two to six years old. The classes are divided into Early Years 1 and Early Years 2 for the youngest learners, followed by Kindergarten 1 and Kindergarten 2. These year groups correspond to children turning three to six years old within the academic year.
SJI International Preschool is a co-educational day school for early childhood students.
The preschool uses inclusionary practices to adapt teaching methods for different learning styles where possible. However, the school notes that it has limited resources to support a wide spectrum of complex learning needs. Parents of children who require specific learning support are advised to contact the admissions team directly to discuss their child's individual requirements.
The preschool does not have a formal affiliation with any country.
The school has a Catholic and Lasallian foundation, integrating values like faith and service into its daily routines. At the same time, the preschool welcomes families and students from all religious and cultural backgrounds.
The campus is open Monday to Friday with full-day operational hours from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm. The core educational programme runs between 9:00 am and 5:00 pm. During the day, children are provided with breakfast, lunch, and afternoon tea, along with a scheduled daily rest period.
The school offers a two-way bus service for its students across limited residential areas. The transportation is managed by an official external vendor, Tong Tar Transport.
