Quality programmes delivered differently
Children need a balanced education that nurtures them to become confident, contributing members of society, and that doesn’t happen by accident. So, over the years, we have curated strong brands to cater to a diverse range of needs to support the NFC child, their family and our educators.
FOR KIDS / PRESCHOOL
My First Skool understands how important play is for a child’s development, especially in the preschool years. We provide facilitated play experiences through our PETAL© – Playing, Exploring, Thinking, and Applying Learning pedagogical approach, from our Early Years Centres through to our childcare preschools. Our programmes are subsidised by the Early Childhood Development Agency to ensure that every child has access to quality preschool education. They span Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM), the Arts, Bilingualism, Nature and Culture among others to develop every child holistically and to create future-ready kids.
My First Skool is an Anchor Operator funded by the Early Childhood Development Agency.

FOR KIDS / OUTDOOR ADVENTURE AND LEARNING
Every child should play in the great outdoors and experience the natural world and its gifts. Outdoor School Singapore works with schools, parents and organisations to extend a child’s learning beyond the four walls of a regular classroom. The multi-sensory experience in nature brings our young explorers through enjoyable, creative and adventurous learning journeys. Our programmes nurtures the 3Rs: Resilience, Risk-taking and Responsibility. Through these experiences, our children grow into confident, integrated global citizens who value and appreciate our natural environment and commit to preserving it for future generations.

For TEACHERS / TRAINING
SEED Institute started out as the Regional Training and Resource Centre (RTRC Asia) in 1989. It was rebranded as SEED Institute in 2009 and established itself as the leading Early Childhood Education (ECE) training institute in Singapore. SEED has been fulfilling its mission to strengthen and raise the quality of early childhood education and related sectors, like community and social services, both in Singapore and internationally.
Through its practice-oriented training courses and learning support, early childhood and related professionals are equipped with the knowledge, skills and competencies to nurture young children in their cognitive and socio-emotional development.
In 2019, with the formation of the National Institute of Early Childhood (NIEC) to oversee all ECE-related qualifications, SEED transformed its business to focus on delivering high-quality programmes for young children outside of childcare services to enrich their growth and development.
