About Trehaus School

Trehaus School is a premium preschool and childcare for children from 18 months to 7 years old. 

It is an immersive learning environment where our reimagining of early childhood education comes to life. 

We focus on building character and 21st-century skills to nurture creative problem solvers and lifelong learners with empathy and resilience in a safe and nurturing bilingual (English and Mandarin), or pure Mandarin-immersion environment.

Because We Want The Best For Our Children

We have created a school that focuses on providing the best environment and learning experience for each child, putting the child first in every aspect, whether through our thoughtfully designed environment, state-of-the-art facilities or our proprietary Trehaus Method pedagogy and curriculum.

Driven by our exceptionally loving, highly qualified teachers and caregivers, we boast an unrivalled 1:5 teacher-to-child ratio to ensure your child receives the highest quality of care.

We recognise that every child is unique, so our classes are conducted in small groups, allowing teachers to provide truly differentiated learning.

It Takes A Village To Raise a Child - Trehaus is Your Modern Village

Trehaus School offers a comprehensive programme with half-day or full-day options. Perfect for professional parents, we operate typical daycare/childcare hours, from 7am to 7pm, where your child can feel safe, thrive and fall in love with learning in the home away from home that is the Trehaus village.

Because parental involvement is one of the most important factors for success in childhood learning, we offer unparalleled parental proximity and opportunities for you to be involved and connected. Through regular parent updates, daily check-ins at drop-off and pick-up, in-depth parent-teacher meetings, and welcoming you to project showcases after every project, learning and love flow seamlessly between home and school. 

Uniquely, parents can also choose to work just a few steps away from their children at our Trehaus Business Club, which offers full co-working facilities under the same Trehaus roof. Find out about our Business Club memberships that parents can enjoy here.

Learning Through Play Every Day

Each day is thoughtfully designed for holistic learning through joyful play.

We focus on your children’s self-discovery journey as much as their outcome. 

What we offer is a holistic education that incorporates the best elements of research-based pedagogies to create a child-centred, play-based, and project-based curriculum adapted to meet the needs of each individual child.

Little Projects

Little Projects is our proprietary curriculum at Trehaus School designed to build “future-ready” skills in young children. We use hands-on, project-based learning to let children apply their skills in real-world scenarios.

Written by education experts and enriched with insights from entrepreneurs, CEOs, and philanthropists, each module is made to develop future-ready skills for the world children are growing up in.

Children engage in a project-based, play-based, developmentally appropriate learning approach that stimulates inquiry and exploration for the early years, enabling learners to make connections across various subject areas, applying their newfound knowledge to real-world problems and projects that are both child-driven and collaborative. At the core of this innovative curriculum is a commitment to inspiring excellence, meaning-making, cultivating character, and empowering engagement, ensuring that children are not only prepared for school but for life.

Project-based learning modules (Little Projects) engage children in meaningful projects that integrate literacy, numeracy, STEAM, and executive function. Our projects seek to deepen transdisciplinary understanding – tackling complex ideas and applying them in innovative ways.

Little Learners

Little Learners is our programme to teach core literacy and numeracy skills based on what research shows us about how children learn. We teach English, Mandarin, and Mathematics through immersive play and project-based lessons. Rooted in child development research, our learning is real-world and paced to fit each individual. 

This naturally differentiated approach ensures each child grows at the right pace for them—stretching them to their fullest potential while, most importantly, letting them have fun. Through this play-based and project-based learning approach, your kids will truly LOVE learning.

Little Explorer

Little Explorer is our programme that brings forest school-inspired learning to life, treating the school and the world beyond as their playground. Whether it’s creating make-believe worlds in our indoor playground, exploring our outdoor garden and urban farm, or heading to Fort Canning Park every Friday, children experience intentional learning through play every single day. This thoughtfully designed programme focuses heavily on physical growth, developing essential gross motor skills like balance and coordination outdoors, alongside fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination indoors. 

Little Explorer Time naturally builds critical life skills like risk assessment, resilience, and problem-solving as children interact with the world around them, turning every movement into a joyful, confidence-building discovery.

Little Academic

Little Academic is our dedicated launchpad for primary or elementary school, designed to bridge the gap between early childhood play and the structured world of “big school.” Inspired by advanced gifted education frameworks, this program for our older children goes far beyond standard school readiness.

Through deep topical explorations and real-world learning challenges in small, tutorial -style groups, children don’t just memorise information—they actively apply their knowledge and skills to solve meaningful problems. This approach naturally extends their foundational literacy and numeracy, pushing their capabilities further while cultivating high-level critical thinking and cognitive flexibility. 

By treating children as capable thinkers, Little Academic does more than just prepare them with the core knowledge required for the next stage; it builds the deep intellectual curiosity, learning aptitude, and emotional resilience they need to truly thrive and lead in primary school and beyond.

Little Discovery

Little Discovery is where we make sure there is plenty of opportunity for self-directed learning, discovery, and mixed-age learning, setting up an environment where kids can enjoy play the way they like to play. Through constantly renewed sensory stations inspired by Vygotsky’s method of letting children learn through real-world play scenarios, we naturally nurture creativity. Our mixed-age learning environment ensures that older children learn empathy and leadership by mentoring their peers, while younger children accelerate their language and social skills by watching older role models.
