Play Based Curriculum: Your Child’s Passport To Fun And Learning

Curriculum Overview – The ShawsPlay Curriculum 

Our preschool curriculum is one of the few play based curriculums in Singapore. We recognise that play is one of the most effective approaches for preschool children to learn and retain knowledge – both academic knowledge as well as essential life skills.  The ShawsPlay curriculum merges inquiry-based learning, play based approaches and learning though play, in order to ensure that children enjoy learning, are prepared for formal school, and are prepared for life. 

Benefits Of A Play Based Learning Curriculum

Raise Confidence: Your child’s confidence will be boosted when he is able to accomplish games during our play time. We progressively increase the difficulty of the activities to empower them and recognise every child’s progress to encourage them further.

Build Critical Thinking and Problem Solving Skills: Play provides many opportunities for your child to encounter, explore and solve obstacles. From tasks like building blocks to more complex ones such as performing a drama piece, your child will be put in scenarios to sharpen his critical thinking and problem solving skills.

Improve Knowledge Retention: Confucius once said, “I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.”. This idea has been proven by studies that have shown the correlation of hands-on learning and one’s ability to recall what he has learnt. Our play based curriculum ensures that your child will be doing rather than merely listening in his early childhood education at Shaws.

Groom Teamwork:  Through our playgroups, your child will learn to work together with others to achieve a common goal. In doing so, they will pick up essential team skills such as patience, emotional self-regulation, perseverance and communication.

Develop Motivation: Innately, children love to play. By leveraging on this yearning and structuring the learning environment to focus on topics that they are interested in, your child will be highly motivated and actively involved in his own learning.
