Children Care
Metta Preschool @ Punggol
Metta Preschool @ Punggol (MPSP) is an Early Intervention Centre that provides support for children (Singaporean and Permanent Residents) below 6 years old who have been referred by the Department of Child Development at KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital (KKH) for developmental and special needs concerns. These concerns may include Speech and Language Disorder (SLD), Global Developmental Delay (GDD), Attention-Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD).
Our early intervention programmes are grounded in the belief that every child can learn, grow and reach their potential with the right support. Working in partnership with families, MPSP adopts a child-centred approach that supports each child’s development across key areas, including cognitive, communication, adaptive, fine and gross motor, and social skills.
Our multidisciplinary team of early interventionists, occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, social workers and psychologists works closely together to understand each child’s strengths and learning needs. These form the basis of an individualised education plan aligned with the pedagogical principles of the Early Childhood Holistic Outcomes (ECHO) framework. This evidence-based curriculum will allow MPSP to ensure parental participation and involvement as well.

Curriculum
Regardless of their level of ability, we strive to assist the children in developing their fullest potential through an enriching curriculum that is beneficial and developmentally appropriate.
Designed with their holistic development in mind, our curriculum encompasses the following programmes that equip them with the skills and abilities necessary for further education:
Preschool academic skills comprising Language & Literacy, Numeracy, Arts & Crafts and Discovery & Exploration
- Physical Development (motor skills)
- Personal Development (self-help skills)
- Social and Emotional Development
- Computer-Based Learning Programmes
Individualised education plans (IEPs) are drawn up for the children by our teachers in consultation with parents/guardians and our paramedical team to identify their unique learning styles, from which customised programmes are devised to suit their abilities and needs.
To ensure that their learning needs and goals are met, these IEPs are reviewed regularly to assess the outcomes.
Support Services
Tending to the children’s physiological and emotional development is a multi-disciplinary team comprising a psychologist, an occupational therapist and a speech therapist, together with a social worker who offers social support services and assistance.
Each child’s developmental progress will be monitored and assessed by them.
As we are an approved institution under the Children Development Co-Savings (Baby Bonus) Scheme, eligible parents can use the savings available in their kids’ Children Development Account to pay for the school fees.
To ensure that needy children can benefit from our services, subsidies are given to low-income families base on their monthly per capita income.
We also work closely with the MSF and NCSS to assist needy families through specific funding schemes.
On the other hand, the Education Endowment Fund created by our headquarters provides further financial aid for disadvantaged pupils in the form of bursaries and book prizes.

- Singapore Citizen or Permanent Resident

School fees are determined based on the family’s per capita monthly income. Financial assistance may be considered on a case-by-case basis for students from families who require additional support. All fees paid are non-refundable and non-transferable.
