9 MONTHS - 3 YEARS • LOCATED AT RAFFLES AMERICAN SCHOOL CAMPUS
From small beginnings
big things grow
At Raffles Toddlers Childcare Center, part of an established international school brand, we believe that every child begins with immense potential. The earliest years are a time of quiet growth, when care, environment, and relationships gently shape what is yet to emerge. Inspired by the symbolism of the egg, a universal image of protection, growth, and new beginnings, our center nurtures development at its earliest stage. Just as an egg safeguards life from within, we provide a safe, responsive, and thoughtfully designed environment where young children feel secure, confident, and ready to explore.
We welcome children aged 9 months to 3 years, supporting each child’s individual developmental rhythm through gentle routines, meaningful play, and warm educator-child relationships.

the season of life we care for
- WHAT COMES FIRST
We care for the child before we teach the student.
Milestones matter. But at this age, what matters more is whether a child feels safe, soothed, and seen. Our days are built around a wellbeing curriculum that follows, never leads.
Felt Safety, First
Predictable routines, familiar caregivers, and unhurried transitions, so a toddler’s nervous system can rest, and their curiosity can show up.
Real Connection
No screens, ever. Just eye contact, conversation, songs, and the kind of attentive presence that tells a child: I matter to you.
Unhurried Pace
Children grow on their own clock. We follow each child’s pace and temperament, rather than fitting them to a syllabus built for someone else’s child.
- OUR VISION
"From small beginnings,
big things grow."
Raffles Toddlers was established with a clear intention :
To protect, nurture, and guide early growth with calmness and care. We believe growth should never be rushed. When children are given the right environment, time, and emotional security, they naturally unfold, building confidence, curiosity, and resilience at their own pace. Our role is to create the conditions where this growth happens, peacefully and purposefully.
- OUR MISSION
Care first, always. Every decision starts with one question: is this good for the child's heart, body, and sense of security?
- A Screen-Free Childhood
- Every Child, Held Uniquely
- A Gentle Hand to PreK
- Rooted in the PERMATA early childhood education
- OUR FRAMEWORK
Our Approach to Early Learning
Our curriculum is PERMATA-based, enriched with play-based, child-centred experiences inspired by Reggio Emilia philosophy.
We are proudly a screen-free center, allowing children to develop imagination, social connection, and real-world understanding through hands-on exploration rather than passive digital exposure.
- Learning at Raffles Toddlers is:
- Intentional yet flexible
- Grounded by observation and responsiveness
- Respectful of each child’s developmental stage
- Through sensory-rich, meaningful experiences, we support holistic development in:
- Physical coordination and movement
- Language and early communication
- Cognitive curiosity and problem-solving
- Social and emotional security
- THE REGGIO THREAD
"The hundred languages of childhood."
Each child is carefully observed as an individual, allowing learning experiences to be thoughtfully adapted to their unique growth journey.
Our Philosophy in Action
Just as an egg nurtures life within its shell, our programmes provide the care, structure, and gentle freedom children need to flourish.
Within a calm, screen-free environment, children grow at their own pace, building strong foundations for lifelong learning, resilience, and joyful curiosity through real-world discovery and meaningful relationships.
