ChildFirst Pre-school is the first trilingual pre-school in Singapore and perhaps the world that exposes children to English, Chinese and Coding from a young age. We believe that this exposure will enable them to become fluent speakers of the three most important languages globally.
In addition to daily exposure to our trilingual environment, we are committed to “Future-Proof Your Child” by equipping children with the skills to understand and use artificial intelligence, rather than being replaced by it. Furthermore, in the era of AI, children must develop uniquely human intelligence that AI cannot replicate. Therefore, our iUnique (meaning “I am unique”) curriculum integrates artificial intelligence (AI), human intelligence (HI), and multiple intelligences (MI) to foster children’s future-ready skills.
ChildFirst Pre-school is part of the Ednovation Group, a trailblazer in pre-school educational technology. Since 1991, Ednovation has pioneered the development and introduction of computer-based learning in pre-schools across Singapore and the region. Today, Ednovation operates a network of over 70 pre-schools and enrichment centers in Singapore, China and ASEAN. Our eCurriculum is also offered through partnerships with hundreds of pre-schools.

What Sets This School Apart
ChildFirst Pre-school has made waves both locally and globally for its innovative approach to early childhood education, particularly through its Trilingual Curriculum (English, Chinese and Coding) which prepares children for success in an ever-evolving world.
Choosing the right pre-school for your child is one of the most important decisions you'll make as a parent. With so many options available, finding a place that not only nurtures your child's development but also equips your child with essential skills for the future can be daunting. That's where ChildFirst Pre-school comes in.
The Value of a Trilingual Education (English, Chinese, Coding) for Your Child
Mastering English, Chinese and Coding goes beyond academics. It shapes your child's path to success in both education and future endeavours. Here’s why our ChildFirst Pre-school curriculum integrates these crucial languages:
1. English
English is a global language essential for effective communication and collaboration across borders. Proficiency in English opens doors to abundant opportunities worldwide. ChildFirst Pre-school fosters English language proficiency through immersive experiences and interactive learning activities. This enhances academic performance and empowers your child to excel in our interconnected global society.
2. Chinese
With China's increasing global influence, proficiency in Chinese offers a significant advantage for future success. Whether in school now or in their future careers, mastery of Chinese language and culture facilitates meaningful connections and provides a competitive edge. Our innovative AI-driven Chinese learning app, unique word recognition programme and immersive environment nurture fluency and cultural understanding, preparing your child for academic and lifelong achievements.
3. Coding
In today's digital landscape, coding is the language of innovation. It equips children with critical thinking, creative problem-solving and a logical approach to challenges. These skills are vital not only in technology careers but also in industries shaped by artificial intelligence and digitalisation. Introducing coding early, ChildFirst Pre-school lays the foundation for computational thinking, ensuring your child thrives in our increasingly tech-driven world.
iUnique Curriculum – AI, HI, MI
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is set to be the most transformative force in children’s lives. In this AI-driven era, children are not only competing with fellow humans but also with robots. At ChildFirst, we equip your child to thrive in this new landscape. Skills such as Computational Thinking, Coding and Robotics are essential for preparing them to master AI rather than be replaced by it.
In the age of AI, it is crucial for children to cultivate uniquely human talents that robots cannot replicate. Human intelligence (HI) encompasses the ability to learn from experience, adapt to new situations, grasp complex ideas, and apply knowledge effectively to influence one’s environment.
Harvard University Professor Howard Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences (MI) suggests that each child possesses at least eight types of intelligence. Consider Apple founder Steve Jobs and Alibaba founder Jack Ma, they did not conform to traditional academic success but excelled in their respective fields. Their achievements illustrate that success is not solely defined by academic grades, it is about nurturing and leveraging individual talents.
