What’s a Typical Day at Shaws Lorong Chuan Like?
With play-based learning as our core curriculum, the fun starts the moment our children walk through the gates!
Once they’re here, they’ll start playing in our various play areas — playground, cycling area, sand pit, mud kitchen, and other spaces — until the bell rings for their morning assembly or circle time. This is when we do our morning greetings, show and tell, sing and dance to our favourite songs, as well as our news board sharing session.
It is then time for class! To keep their energies up, our children have breaks in between classes where they get to go out and play again.
What about the second half of the day? Our half-day programme kids will go off at 1 pm, while our full-day children will nap from 1 pm to 3 pm.
For children who do not nap, we will engage them with Shaws Play Club! Offering a different activity each day — Shaws Little League (sports for kids), Little Chefs, Art Club, Water Confidence, and Chinese Culture Club. The fun never stops, and the best thing is that our kids will be learning every step of the way.
What Do Kids at Shaws Lorong Chuan Eat?

Preschool children are always hungry! To provide them with energy, help their growing bodies develop, and satisfy their tastebuds, our kitchen team comes up with a wide variety of foods.
We serve seasonal fruit for a morning snack, and a hot and tasty nutritious lunch. Lunch consists of a variety of Asian and Western food — from Singapore chicken rice, Italian pasta, Thai style chicken, Korean glass noodles (japchae), to Chinese porridge (congee).
Afternoon snacks may include a cereal with milk, oatmeal, corn bread, or other equally yummy foods. As advocates for healthy eating, we serve brown rice and pasta, and do not serve sugary drinks or any processed food to our children.
Meet The Principal of Shaws Lorong Chuan!

Introducing our principal Deborah Shaw! An 18-year veteran in early childhood education, she enjoys working with children because she loves the way they look at the world.
“I love to see them grow and I love to see all the things they learn and how surprised they are at things. It is that innocence that makes them so unique. I like how genuine they are, and at the same time, love to learn from them. Even though they might be little, they are great teachers just because of the way they see life,” shared Deborah.
A woman with many talents and interests, Deborah enjoys travelling, singing, baking, jewellery making and dancing — “I am learning Bachata and Salsa at the moment.” She is also a certified Zumba instructor and the proud paw-rent of a maltipoo named Scooter.
Shaws Lorong Chuan’s Educational Philosophy
To learn about our school’s philosophy, we passed the mic over to our principal Deborah. Let’s read what she says!
“I believe that every child is an individual. As an educator, I value and develop each child’s strengths, interests, skills, abilities and knowledge to extend their learning. The early years of a child’s life are busy. I believe learning is happening all the time and is interwoven through all developmental domains. These include: physical, social/emotional, cognitive, and other domains.
My aim is to make this ongoing learning experience safe, positive, and fun, nurturing the whole child as I strive to guide them into the next stage of development with confidence in themselves and an excitement for learning.”

Memorable Moments

Curious to know what were the memorable moments at Shaws Lorong Chuan? So are we!
Once again, our principal Deborah shares her reflections with us here.
“We used to have a carnival every year. This was a time when we all got together, giving us the opportunity to meet the children and parents from the other campuses — it really made everyone feel like family. Our 30th anniversary carnival stood out to me…it was a great way to celebrate what Shaws has achieved as a family of preschools. Filling up the time capsule with our very first uniform, first class photo, and other memorability was pretty emotional for me….and it brought back a lot of memories.”
Like Deborah, thinking back about Shaws Lorong Chuan made our eyes moist. We hope you’ve discovered what you needed to know about our lovely preschool, and look forward to hosting you here.
