The Schoolhouse by Busy Bees has a legacy spanning 35 years, during which it has expanded into a network of 14 preschool centres and 2 infant care centres across Singapore. Its early childhood education approach is grounded in an inquiry-embedded, play-based curriculum that supports holistic development in areas such as culture, society, environment, and technology.
The Schoolhouse community is built around strong family engagement and shared experiences. Parents and children participate in events such as Exploration Week, which opens the classroom to interactive learning activities. Families are also encouraged to connect through a referral programme, where successful referrals benefit both existing and new enrollees. At the Grassroots branch, parents highlight the school’s welcoming bilingual environment, enriching excursions, and supportive practices like individualized meal preparation, all of which contribute to a close-knit community spirit.
The school does not have an official PTA.
The Schoolhouse welcomes children aged 2 months to 6 years. It offers a play-based curriculum with a bilingual twist, teaching in English and Mandarin to build language skills early on. Backed by 35 years of experience, the focus is on practical skills—think collaboration and creativity—through hands-on activities like art and outdoor play. Facilities include age-appropriate classrooms and outdoor spaces designed for young explorers. A standout feature is the multiple literacies program, connecting kids to culture, technology, and the environment.
