Trehaus began as part of the Trehaus brand, which originally included co‑working spaces with childcare (a crèche) for infants in Orchard. Over time, it expanded its premises and refocused toward early education, building a flagship preschool / daycare at Funan Mall, City Hall. It serves children from about 2 months to 6 years. The evolution reflects increasing demand from parents for early learning options outside standard childcare, combining childcare and preschool in a single offering.
The school emphasizes a close relationship among parents, teachers, and students. The setting invites parents to be involved in their child’s learning journey through visibility and access. For example, parents can drop in at Trehaus’ business club, use its café, or observe classrooms. The curriculum (Trehaus Method) is bilingual (English and Mandarin) and involves project‑based learning, which creates opportunities for shared experiences such as projects, community events, and learning through real‑world themes.
The school does not have an official PTA.
