Nursery in Singapore at Pegasus

For families looking for a nursery in Singapore, what matters most is usually simple: a place where a young child feels safe, is truly known, and is gently encouraged to explore, talk and try. At Pegasus International Preschool, that is exactly where we begin. It is our motto: Soar with Confidence.

Pegasus is a trilingual, Reggio Emilia–inspired international preschool in Novena. Our Nursery years — Nursery 1 (age 3) and Nursery 2 (age 4) — nurture children through a warm, inquiry-oriented day, with English as the main classroom language and Mandarin and Japanese woven naturally alongside it. Every child is known by name, in classes with a low teacher-to-child ratio.

Our Nursery Programme in Singapore

At Pegasus, Nursery is where curiosity takes off. Through playful, guided discovery, children begin to explore letter sounds and stories, develop early number sense, and grow the social confidence to play, share and speak up. Our educators follow each child’s interests and questions, extending their learning through inquiry rather than rote instruction.

The Nursery programme runs across two age-based classes and lays the foundation for the Kindergarten years that follow. Each class has a low teacher-to-child ratio, so even our newest and quietest children settle gently and soon find their voice.

Building Confidence, Communication and Independence

Across the Nursery years, we gently nurture the qualities that help a young child thrive — never rushing development, always following the child:

• Confidence to try new things and to speak up
• Communication — listening, asking and sharing ideas
• Independence and everyday self-help skills
• Social skills — playing, taking turns and making friends
• Early literacy, numeracy and a love of stories
• Curiosity and the joy of discovery

These grow at each child’s own pace, through play and warm encouragement — not pressure.

What Parents Can Look For in a Nursery

Choosing a nursery in Singapore is a big step for a young child. When you visit, a few things are worth noticing:

• Relationships — do teachers know each child well, and is the ratio genuinely low?
• The environment — is it warm, safe and set up for exploration?
• The teaching approach — is learning play- and inquiry-based, and child-centred?
• Languages — how naturally are they used across the day?
• Daily routines — are settling-in, meals and rest handled gently?
• Location and hours — is it convenient for your family?

The best way to answer these for your own child is to visit — you’re warmly welcome at Pegasus.
