Our Beliefs

1. At Calvary Pandan Kindergarten, our programme is built on the firm foundation of God’s Word and guided by our belief that every child is precious in His sight.

   1. Every Child is a Gift from God
      We believe that every child is a wonderful gift from God and needs to be nurtured according to godly values.
      
      
   2. Every Child is a Competent Learner
      Children are joyful, curious, active, and competent learners who are constructors of knowledge. They play, learn and grow with others in a diverse and multicultural community.
      
      
   3. Holistic Development through Process Learning
      Early childhood education should develop the whole child. We emphasise the process of learning over the product, using an integrated approach to teaching and learning Children are engaged in authentic learning through quality interactions and purposeful play.
      
      
   4. Teachers as Facilitators of Learning
      Teachers are more than instructors — they are facilitators who create a safe, loving, and secure environment where children feel valued and inspired to learn.
      
      
   5. Parents as Key Partners
      We recognise that parents play a critical role in their children’s growth and learning, and we actively promote strong home–school partnerships.
      
      
   6. Building Lifelong Learners
      We believe early childhood education should cultivate positive attitudes and learning dispositions that prepare children for lifelong learning.

CHILDREN – Curious, Active and Competent Learners

At CPK, children are viewed as joyful, curious, active, and competent learners. With an integrated approach to teaching and learning, children construct knowledge through purposeful play and quality interactions. In our diverse and multicultural community, every child is encouraged to explore, discover, and learn meaningfully.

TEACHERS – Facilitators of Learning

Our teachers are dedicated facilitators of learning who:

• Plan engaging and meaningful experiences that nurture holistic development.
• Stimulate children’s thinking through exploration and inquiry.
• Create safe, effective, and inspiring learning environments.
• Document children’s progress and share it with families.
• Partner with parents to strengthen every child’s learning journey.

They also engage in regular self-reflection and professional development to continually grow in their calling as educators.

OUR FOCUS – Process of Learning

At CPK, we place emphasis on the process of learning rather than just the end product.

• Children are given space to enjoy learning, ask questions, explore, and experiment.
• Mistakes are seen as valuable opportunities for growth.
• They are encouraged to take ownership of their learning and to develop curiosity, resilience, and confidence.

COMMUNITY – Partners in Education

We believe “It takes a village to raise a child.” At CPK, we are blessed with a supportive environment and strong partnerships that enrich children’s growth:

• Church – Pastors, preachers, and members of Calvary Pandan B-P Church actively nurture children’s spiritual development.
• Parents – Our active Parent Support Group (PSG) plans and implements programmes in alignment with CPK’s mission and goals.
• Schools – We collaborate with primary schools through visits, talks, and virtual tours to prepare our K2 children for the transition to Primary One.
• Community Partners – We work with various organisations to broaden children’s learning experiences and enhance their development.
  
  

🌟 Together — children, teachers, parents, church, schools, and community — we journey hand in hand to nurture every child holistically in God’s way.
