Jack and Jill Children’s Center is a full-day childcare and education provider. The child-focused teaching practices are the cornerstone of a dynamic learning process designed to build up students’ curiosity and enthusiasm for knowledge. The curriculum is designed and implemented by a professional teaching team. Based on various curricula, influences include HighScope, Reggio Emilia, and Chinese culture. In an environment where children are the “real owners,” they will strengthen mind, body and spirit as they explore the world around them, develop communication and social skills, and learn to think proactively and independently, judge and solve problems.

Word from a Parent:
“During our first visit to Jack and Jill Children’s Center, we were deeply impressed with the warm service and lovely facilities, all of which are designed especifically for children. Our 3-year-old daughter fell in love with it at first sight. Teachers respect Szeen and give her freedom to play, which is particularly important to us. She enjoys Jack and Jill’s out-of-campus activities: visiting a hypermarket, seeing the process of baking bread, taking part in a bread-making course, dressing up as a fairy for Halloween and visiting the fire department – all of these are memorable things that she has shared with us.“ Chea Hooi Khor and Ban Fong Lim (Malaysia), parents of Szeen (3)
