An English Preschool in Singapore Where Children Soar with Confidence
A warm, trilingual international preschool in Novena for children aged 17 months to 6 years — English is our main classroom language, with Mandarin and Japanese woven through every day.
For families searching for an English preschool in Singapore, the real question is rarely English alone. It is whether a child will feel understood, speak up without fear and genuinely love to learn. At Pegasus, that is exactly where we begin — because a confident child is a child who is ready for anything. That belief is our motto: Soar with Confidence.
Pegasus is an English-medium, trilingual international preschool in Novena, central Singapore, welcoming children aged 17 months to 6 years from international and local families alike.
Our approach
A Reggio Emilia–inspired, English-medium environment
English is the shared language of our classroom — spoken in lessons, stories, songs and everyday conversation — within a genuinely trilingual environment where Mandarin and Japanese live naturally alongside it. Inspired by Reggio Emilia, we see every child as a capable learner. Our teachers don’t simply hand over answers; they follow each child’s curiosity and “why?”, extending the inquiry together.
Learning English this way, children naturally build the ability to think, to express themselves, to solve problems and to keep learning — in English, and far beyond it.

English & confidence
More than English — the courage to use it
Learning English matters; the courage to speak it matters more. Through everyday interactions with teachers and friends, children grow the confidence to try, to ask and to speak — and English follows naturally.
When children realise their voice matters, they enter Primary School ready to participate, unafraid to put up their hand.
Everyday English
English confidence grows through daily routines
Real language grows in real moments — lining up at the water fountain, choosing a play centre, negotiating a game, tidying up together. Throughout the Pegasus day, English is the language of these small routines, so children practise listening, asking and answering dozens of times without ever feeling they are “in a lesson”.
Because the day is warm and predictable, even our newest and quietest children — including those who arrive with very little English — soon find their voice and begin to speak with confidence.

Trilingual
Languages used and learned
Three languages share one happy day — never as flashcards, but as living parts of play, story and conversation:
- English — the main medium of instruction across the whole school
- Mandarin (中文) — daily lessons with native Mandarin teachers
- Japanese (日本語) — Japanese-language classes for interested families
Beyond the classroom
Learning beyond the classroom
Confidence is not built at a desk. Our children head outdoors for sport, movement and free play — running, climbing, kicking a ball and cheering each other on — building coordination, resilience and teamwork along the way.
These active, joyful moments give language a real purpose: children call to teammates, invent rules and celebrate together, using English and their other languages exactly as language is meant to be used.
Care & belonging
Meals, care and a place to belong
Full-day and flexible-care children share freshly prepared meals together at our lunch tables — a warm, unhurried part of the day when friendships grow and gentle self-help skills, table manners and conversation are nurtured.
From arrival to pick-up, our small classes mean every child is truly seen, cared for and known by name — the kind of belonging that lets confidence take root.
For your family
More than academics — a school where children belong
Families looking for an international preschool, the best international preschool in Singapore, or a nurturing kindergarten in Singapore tell us they wanted more than academics — a school where their child would feel safe, be understood, develop confidence, build friendships and love learning.
Through our Reggio Emilia–inspired approach, caring educators and warm community, children leave Pegasus ready not only for Primary School — but for the future.
