MerlionKids International (MKI), Singapore premier preschool, founded in 2006 has centres in Singapore, Sri Lanka and China. MerlionKids has won awards and received many positive testimonials from parents, batches after batches. Parents love our scientific and evidence based educational philosophy that leads to development of our structured curriculum and sound pedagogies (activity based) with a full set of Harvard’s neuroscience education and eight multiple intelligences programmes that promote the development of key executive functions of the brain, self regulation, resilience, curiosity, critical thinking, confidence and creativity in the child’s learning and development.
MerlionKids is greatly influenced by both Professor Jack Skonkoff’s scientific research and work on neuroscience, epigenetics and education where environment factors and experiences shape the brain architecture and child’s resilience which determines whether it will provide a strong and weak foundation for all future learning, behaviour and health; and Professor Howard Gardner’s work on Multiple Intelligences, whom believes that Intelligence Quotient (I.Q) is not enough as a single indicator to person’s success but rather a spectrum of intelligences (literacy, interpersonal, intrapersonal, kinesthetic, music, naturalistic, logic, spatial) which need development at the very young age that comes with holistic education. Both of them are Professors working in Harvard University. Our programmes and activities aim to develop the key executive functions of the brain and self regulation skills in the child. Deficiency in these brain executive functions will grow larger as the person grows older and it affects the quality of life.
MerlionKids believes that each child’s personality and uniqueness should be respected. Our programmes build around the child and bring out the best of each of them. Our highly qualified teachers receive regularly training to give each child the a sufficient care and attention by establishing a good relationship with each of them, enhancing their social, emotional and literacy development.
MerlionKids’ teachers understand these knowledge from research, and are trained to develop and conduct lessons effectively, each time engaging with each child interactively with good conversations (serving and returning), extending their thoughts, nurturing their critical thinking skills, literacy, curiosity and interest in learning…
To build better future, we need to build better brains!
