At Calvary Pandan Kindergarten, character formation is at the heart of what we do. We aim to nurture children with a strong Christian-based value system and godly character, shaping not only what they know but also who they become.

Through:

• Daily Singspiration – children begin each day with joyful songs of praise to God.
• Weekly Bible Devotions – they learn biblical truths that guide their lives.
• Character Education lessons – they are taught to apply values in everyday situations.

Our prayer is that every CPK child will:

• Love and fear God
• Honour their parents and elders
• Be a blessing to others in word and deed

Aligned with the NEL Framework’s Social & Emotional Competencies, Values, and Learning Dispositions (VSLD), children also learn to:

• Show care, kindness, and respect to others.
• Develop positive attitudes such as perseverance, responsibility, and resilience.
• Cultivate curiosity, joy in learning, and independence.

Guided by our dedicated teachers, we believe that every child can discover their God-given potential and be nurtured to shine in both character and learning. Together, these experiences help children grow into confident lifelong learners with Christlike character, ready to impact the world around them.

Art & Craft
In Art & Craft lessons, the focus is on the process and joy of creativity, not just the final product. Children explore and experiment with different media and techniques to express themselves freely.

Music & Movement
Children are introduced to musical instruments and elements of music. Through structured and spontaneous activities, they sing, move, and play with joy.

Annual Graduation Concert
Every year, children showcase their talents in public speaking, drama, and singing, presenting biblical themes with confidence and creativity.

Children explore beyond the classroom through learning journeys to places of educational interest, laying early foundations in Science, Geography, and History. They engage their senses, use tools and resources, and build social skills while managing themselves independently.

Celebrations such as Chinese New Year, Racial Harmony Day, and Children’s Day help children appreciate Singapore’s multicultural heritage and learn to value one another.

Children build a strong foundation in both English and Chinese through storybooks, rhymes, songs, phonics, and writing activities. They also gain confidence in public speaking through Show & Tell and other oral activities.

• English Language: We use different themes, phonics and readers to strengthen language and literacy skills. Activities include creative writing, penmanship, and weekly spelling practices.
• Chinese Language: Using stories, rhymes, songs, games, and writing practice, children develop listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. At K1 and K2, they progress to creative writing, spelling, and basic Hanyu Pinyin to prepare for Primary One.

Using the Growing with Mathematics programme and the Concrete–Pictorial–Abstract (CPA) approach, children develop a strong foundation in numeracy. Through songs, rhymes, concrete materials, hands-on activities, and guided questioning, they are guided to apply logical reasoning and develop confidence in using numeracy in daily life.

Children grow in confidence as they explore what their bodies can do.

• Fine motor skills are developed through classroom activities that strengthen hand-eye coordination and support cognitive growth.
• Gross motor skills are strengthened through structured lessons and unstructured outdoor play.
• Healthy habits, personal safety, and physical confidence are nurtured to support their overall well-being.

Our biennial Games Day encourages children to challenge themselves physically in a fun and supportive environment.

At CPK, technology is used as a tool to make learning fun, exciting, and meaningful.

• Weekly lessons are conducted by a trained computer teacher.
• Children learn essential computer skills such as effective use of the keyboard and mouse.
• Lessons are integrated with themes from Language & Literacy, Numeracy, and Science, and include engaging mini projects.
• At the end of each term, children proudly bring home a printed copy of their work as a keepsake of their progress.

Our classrooms are designed with Learning Centres that encourage exploration, independence, and collaboration.

Learning Centres at a glance:

• Thematic / Home Centres
• Construction / Block Play
• Reading Centre
• Table Toys / Manipulative Play
• Art & Craft Work Stations

These centres provide hands-on activities tailored to different skills and concepts. They are excellent for differentiated learning, allowing each child to engage at their own pace — whether independently or in small groups.

Together, CAE and Learning Centres ensure that children experience a balanced mix of digital literacy, hands-on learning, and creative exploration, nurturing both confidence and curiosity.

At CPK, we believe every child’s learning journey is unique and should be well-documented.

• Parents can access their child’s E-Portfolio online at any time to view progress and milestones.
• Portfolios are maintained until graduation, allowing teachers each new academic year to build on the child’s earlier learning.
• Documentation serves as a key reference during Parent-Teacher Meetings (PTMs) held twice a year, giving parents a clear understanding of their child’s development and progress.

This close partnership between teachers and parents ensures that every child receives the right support to maximise their learning potential.
