Introduction

Bucket House Preschool is a Reggio Emilia–inspired school in Woodlands, Singapore, serving children from 18 months to 6 years. Its bilingual immersion programme features Mandarin as the second language and blends planned activities with inquiry learning through the school’s “IEIE” method—Initiate, Explore, Inquire, Experiment. The curriculum is informed by Singapore’s EYDF and NEL frameworks. A distinctive feature is the Atelier, a studio-style space guided by a resident Atelierista where children explore diverse media and document their learning. Children also engage with the Mini Remida, which uses recycled and repurposed materials to foster creativity and sustainability. The school operates Monday to Friday, 7am–7pm, and offers enrichment such as Julia Gabriel Speech & Drama. Families are invited to book a tour, and admissions are open year-round subject to availability.

Academics

Curriculum
Bucket House Preschool follows the Reggio Emilia approach, which emphasises inquiry-based and experiential learning. Its framework is shaped by Singapore’s Early Years Development Framework (EYDF) and Nurturing Early Learners (NEL) curriculum, ensuring children meet local early childhood standards. Learning is guided through the school’s “IEIE” process — Initiate, Explore, Inquire, and Experiment, which structures projects and daily activities. Children work with a wide range of materials in the Atelier, a studio environment led by a resident Atelierista, where creativity and documentation are central. The curriculum is bilingual, with Mandarin offered as a second language, and includes enrichment such as Julia Gabriel Speech & Drama and Bearyfun Gym. Learning outcomes are showcased annually at the school exhibition, which highlights children’s inquiry projects to families.

4. Class Placement and Orientation
Children are placed into age-appropriate classes based on the school’s age guidelines. Placement is finalised before the start date, and teachers support new students with a settling-in programme that gradually introduces routines and builds comfort.
