Blooming Garden - Parental Involvement
In the heart of the Science Park, one can find Learning Vision @ Kent Ridge blending in with its sophisticated environment. The centre is the latest addition to the Learning Vision preschool chain and has been operational for almost an year. The centre was previously located at the Ministry of Education (MOE) for 12 years and it mainly catered to the needs of the ministry staff. With its relocation, the centre now accepts parents from the wider community. The centre also provides a new infant care facility. The revamped centre is also the first to offer an entirely Mac based Learning Vision environment. The young children will have opportunities of being in touch with Informations, Communications and technology (ICT) with appropriate guidance from the teachers.
The centre is a recipient of the Singapore Pre-School Accreditation Framework (SPARK) conferred by the Ministry of Education since June 2011. Learning Vision @ Kent Ridge has also won other industrial awards such as the Championing Efforts Resulting in Improved School Health (CHERISH Junior) Award, Best Educator Award and Healthy Eating in Childcare Centre (HECCP) Award.
The capable teaching staffs at Learning Vision @ Kent Ridge are led by the principal, Jamie Loh.

With a team of trained educators, the children and families will be able to benefit from our programme. Our early childhood educators at the centre are experienced and are well qualified.
