Children's Cove Jalan Penjara

Jalan Penjara Preschool - Swim, Play and Discover

Picture a school day that starts with a splash in the pool, continues with an adventure along a shaded forest trail, and ends with little hands digging in the garden. At Children’s Cove Jalan Penjara, this is simply how children learn, on a spacious green campus tucked off Queensway, a short drive from Queenstown MRT.

From infant care at Jalan Penjara for babies as young as 2 months through to K2, every child has the space and freedom to explore at their own pace.

What Makes Our Children's Cove Jalan Penjara Campus Special

Space is what sets us apart. While many preschools in Singapore are limited to indoor rooms, our campus gives children a swimming pool, a shaded forest trail, an edible garden, a mud kitchen, a sand pit, a cycling zone and a sound garden, all built into daily lessons rather than saved for playtime.

Indoors, bright, air-conditioned rooms follow our Building Blocks™ curriculum, and our Exploration Zones™ add a Shadow-Play Room, a Maker’s Lab and a dance studio, where children experiment with light, build their own inventions and express themselves through movement.

School Culture

Learning Values Through Nature at Jalan Penjara Preschool

On a tree-lined campus, children can easily fall in love with the natural world, and that’s exactly where our values begin. Little ones plant seeds and wait for the first sprouts, gently handle the creatures they find along the forest trail and learn to leave every space as tidy as they found it.

These small, daily moments reflect the environmentally conscious, values-based heart of our C.O.V.E.™ philosophy, teaching children responsibility, empathy, and a quiet respect for the world around them.

Why Parents Choose Children’s Cove Jalan Penjara?

The C.O.V.E™ Approach

Guided by C.O.V.E.™, our Jalan Penjara teachers follow each child’s lead, turning everyday questions into projects that grow independent thinkers who truly love to learn.

Boundless Classrooms

Lessons spill outdoors whenever they can. A science topic might move to the garden, a story to the shade of the trees, and a maths game to the open lawn under the sky.

Close Parental Relationships

Parents are welcomed into school life through events, workshops and regular, detailed progress updates, so families and teachers work together on every child’s development.

Expertly Crafted Programmes

Each programme is planned by our educators to balance guided lessons with free exploration, so children at Jalan Penjara build strong skills without losing the joy of play.

A Stone's Throw Away

Just off Queensway and a short drive from Queenstown MRT, our centre is easy to reach for families in Alexandra, Commonwealth and Tanglin, or parents heading into town.

Diversified Culture

Children from many backgrounds learn and play side by side at Jalan Penjara, sharing stories, songs and celebrations that teach them to value every culture they come across.

Our Core Values

Our logo’s colourful blocks form a house, symbolising our commitment to each child's growth. It represents the strong partnership between home and school, creating a loving, trusting, and nurturing community for learning.

Passion

Inquisitiveness

Inculcate in children the inquisitiveness to acquire knowledge and the creativity to think out of the box.

Children's Cove is a rare gem in Singapore and this is speaking having seen my child go through 5 years of their programme (even though COVID) from PN to graduating from Children's Cove this year, and we will miss the environment and settings. Initially we were drawn to the school's impressive compound, with plenty of outdoor play areas and sun filled activities (particularly love the forest walk), but furthermore complemented by excellent teachers that were patient, caring and nurturing and much of the learning daily coursework was done through a fun and team-oriented experience. Another plus is the excellent parents network fostered during the numerous group activities and drop offs, which has created a village-like environment. One of my best decisions was to send our child to Children's Cove and credit and highest compliments to Principal Liza and her band of highly committed teachers for the love, care and contributions towards our child over the years and hope they will continue their excellent work in the future.
