Celebrating SG61 with curious minds and little explorers.

For children, discovering Singapore begins with curiosity. Asking questions, exploring their surroundings, learning about our culture and traditions, and finding joy in the world around them.

At Wharton Preschool, we believe every question is a chance to learn, and every discovery is a step towards growing confident, curious learners. 🌱✨

This SG61, let’s celebrate Singapore through the eyes of our children — with wonder, curiosity and a love for learning. ❤️

Happy 61st Birthday, Singapore!

Here's a look back at the wonderful memories we shared celebrating the amazing dads in our Wharton community!

From laughter-filled games and friendly challenges to heartfelt arts and crafts lovingly created by our little ones, it was a day filled with smiles, connection, and precious moments that families will cherish for years to come.

To all our incredible dads, thank you for showing up, joining in the fun, and making every hug, laugh, and high-five so special. ❤️

💙 Happy Father's Day! 💙

Today, we celebrate all the wonderful fathers and father figures who guide, support, and inspire our children every day.

Thank you for your patience, encouragement, and unwavering love as you help your little ones grow into confident, curious, and capable individuals. Your presence makes a lasting difference in their lives.

From all of us at Wharton Montessori Preschool, we wish you a joyful Father's Day filled with love, laughter, and precious moments with your family. 👨‍👧‍👦✨

At Wharton Montessori Preschool, children explore mathematics through the Montessori Golden Beads, a beautiful hands-on material that brings abstract concepts to life.

Through the manipulation of units, tens, hundreds, and thousands, children develop a concrete understanding of place value and the decimal system. By seeing, touching, and working with the quantities themselves, they build strong number sense, logical thinking, and confidence in mathematics.

This purposeful journey from concrete materials to abstract thinking lays a solid foundation for future mathematical learning, allowing children to truly understand numbers rather than simply memorise them. ✨🔢

Parents often ask: “How much screen time is actually okay for my child?”

In Singapore, the approach is not just about limiting time, but using screens intentionally.

In preschools, guidelines from the Early Childhood Development Agency emphasise that screens should be used only for teaching and learning, not as entertainment.
At home, the Ministry of Health recommends less than 1 hour per day for young children, with high-quality content and adult guidance.

Ultimately, healthy screen habits come down to a few key principles:
• Prioritising connection and interaction
• Choosing age-appropriate, meaningful content
• Using screens as a tool, not a default

When used thoughtfully, screens can support learning. But in the early years, nothing replaces hands-on experiences, movement, and real human interaction.

If you’d like to better understand how to create a balanced, screen-aware environment for your child, we’d love to share more.

📍 Book a school tour to observe our classrooms and speak with our teachers about how we approach screen use and learning.

Some of the most meaningful learning happens when children are encouraged to explore, experience, and actively take part in the journey. This beautifully reflects the Montessori philosophy we embrace at Wharton Preschool, where children are empowered to discover, create, and learn through hands-on experiences and meaningful involvement 🌱

And while our little ones are learning something new every day, we adults are learning too: patience, understanding, and the beauty of slowing down to see the world through a child’s perspective 💛

From tiny hands to the biggest hugs 💕
Our Mother’s Day celebration at Wharton Preschool was filled with sweet performances, arts & crafts, yummy treats, hugs, kisses, and so much love.

And with today being 5️⃣2️⃣0️⃣ : the Chinese way of saying “I love you” (我爱你) , it feels like the perfect reminder that love is truly in the little moments 🫶

“To the world, you are a mother. To your child, you are the world.” ✨

Happy Mother’s Day to all our amazing mummies 💖

In this activity, children work with number cards and counters of different shapes to practise counting and matching quantities in meaningful ways. As they engage with the materials, they also explore basic geometric shapes - strengthening their ability to recognise patterns, make comparisons, and build a clear connection between numbers and quantity through a hands-on experience.

Rooted in Montessori principles, this activity encourages:
✨ Concrete to abstract learning – Children first experience numbers through tangible objects before moving towards abstract understanding
✨ Hands-on exploration – Learning happens through active engagement, allowing children to construct their own understanding
✨ Order and pattern recognition – Matching numbers with shapes helps children internalise sequence and early mathematical relationships

This is a combined Montessori-inspired activity designed to extend children’s learning towards more advanced concepts, while still keeping the experience engaging, purposeful, and child-led.
