Chiltern House, Thomson

The primary aim of the Chiltern House programme is to nurture a child's growing independence along with positive self-esteem and self-image. The second, and very important goal, is to instil in children a love of learning through their earliest learning experiences. These essential qualities prepare students for confident, successful entry into primary school.

Chiltern House strives to create the nurturing qualities of home – warmth, security and love, offering full childcare services within a comprehensive preschool curriculum. It is the start of a child’s independent experience away from home and prepares students for confident, successful entry into primary school. The aim of the programme is to nurture growing independence along with positive self-esteem and self-image, and to instil a love of learning through a child’s earliest learning experience

VISION : The combination of the nurturing qualities of home and EduDrama is our dramatic difference. We believe that every child who experiences the Chiltern House learning journey will stand out as a confident, unique individual with a strong foundation for primary school and beyond.Excellence in Education

The primary aim of the Chiltern House programme is to nurture a growing independence along with positive self-esteem and self-image and instil in children a love of learning through their earliest experiences. Chiltern House offers programmes from Nursery to Kindergarten and also provides a dedicated Learning Support programme for children who need additional help to learn. The curriculum of each programme has been carefully structured and planned and includes the Oxford Reading Tree from the United Kingdom, Maths, physical education lessons on a weekly basis, computer work, cooking and science, art and craft, mandarin, speech & drama and music.

Small class size with our excellent student to teacher ratio (two teachers to a class of twelve to sixteen students), each teacher has ample opportunity to follow each child’s progress in great detail. We are able to offer extra help in any area where it may be needed and to enrich the programme for those students whose ability necessitates it. Children are often divided into small numbers for certain areas of the curriculum and given the opportunity to work together in pairs or small groups, with the teacher present as a guide, mentor or observer.

Our Approach: Learning Centres each classroom is set up with various learning centres. Through these learning centres, e.g. Language, maths, art, research and etc.,the children are given the opportunity to explore and experiment. This enhances their development in all areas. Other centres may also be set up to coincide with the theme or topic of the week. Some centres will also be set up to build on the current interests of the children. The children are encouraged to explore each centre during activity and free play time.
