CLASSES
Masterminds provides a morning kindergarten programme as well as optional afternoon enrichment programmes, with specially tailored classes that address the needs of children up to 6 years old.
Through holistic and multisensory experiences, they gain an in-depth understanding of abstract concepts, building a strong foundation in their lifelong quest to learn.
English Language
Developed by educators with over 28 years of experience in working with pre-school children, our curriculum is tailored to give children the ability to speak, read and write English with confidence.
The Process
We focus on taking children through a systematic learning journey through the use of Montessori language materials, beginning with the first steps of learning and identifying sounds, to blending and reading complex words, sentences and finally books.

Mathematics
We aim to give children a strong understanding of fundamental mathematic concepts through the manipulation of materials. This allows them pick up more advanced concepts with ease when they enter primary school.
The Process
Starting with Montessori Mathematic materials as a base, we take children through concepts in a concrete way, giving them clear examples of how Mathematics plays into various aspects of their lives.
