Our Philosophy
We believe education is about preparation for life beyond schooling and a working career. At FunLab, our hope is for children to thrive in their own ways, and through a lifelong journey of learning, discover and find joy in their individual aspirations in life.
We know that effective learning requires many ingredients. That's why we've carefully crafted not just our curriculum but also our playful and inspiring environment. The materials and resources at our centre are chosen to ignite curiosity and foster incidental learning in children, making education fun, memorable and effective.
We adopt a blended approach that combines the best elements of established pedagogies. Our curriculum features a thematic overview, and our teaching methodology is guided by our unique play-based approach inspired from Montessori and Reggio Emilia principles. We believe learning doesn’t stop in school, and that's why we also support parents in creating conducive and effective learning environments at home. (Check out ParentLab for a glimpse of what we offer!)
Constant two-way communication between teacher and child is encouraged at FunLab. Every child is respected as a unique individual with their own pace of learning, and we are dedicated to ensuring the highest quality of development at each stage. We believe that a strong foundation in knowledge, skills and dispositions is crucial for every child to succeed, and our three core pillars are focused on the development in these areas.
Our Three Core Pillars
Knowledge Discovery
We ensure that every child has a wide breadth of exposure to encourage curiosity in a variety of subjects. To enhance depth of understanding, we also create opportunities for children to investigate further into topics of interest to cultivate concentration and focus.
Empowering Skills
We develop a core set of skills in our children that empowers their learning experience. These skills help them thrive in learning environments and social interactions and experiences beyond school.
Positive Dispositions
We cultivate enduring values and habits of mind and action in our children that compound over time to create powerful and positive outcomes.
