About Good Shepherd

A place where compassionate hearts and creative young minds flourish

Good Shepherd Preschool, formerly known as Good Shepherd Convent Kindergarten, was established in 1954 by the Good Shepherd Sisters. In January 2023, Good Shepherd Convent Kindergarten converted its services to child care now known as Good Shepherd Preschool.

Our Approach

Integrated Learning

Good Shepherd Preschool Curriculum is an integrated, hands-on curriculum. It stems from the pedagogy of experiential learning. Lesson plans are exciting and filled with opportunities to touch, make, create, fail, and try again. The spiral curriculum design explores topics that help children understand the world. Adopting Urie Bronfenbrenner’s ecological theory, the curriculum begins with the understanding of self, moving on to the immediate environment, the surrounding community, and then the world. The other emphasis of this curriculum is the building of social skills and relationships as knowledge of the world grows. The curriculum aims to make learning come alive – through head, hands and heart!

Jolly Phonics + Grammar

The whole purpose of learning phonics is to help children to read and write. That is the reason why Jolly Phonics and Grammar is adopted in our curriculum. From the learning of the phonetic sounds it leads children to blend, read and write. Words that children will spell stem from the sound that they have learned for the week. It is with the intention of helping children gain the phonetic skill instead of route learning. 

Jolly Grammar is taught through songs, Big Books and kinesthetic actions. These skills will be taught and consolidated in N2 and K1. In K2, children will move on to Jolly Grammar. They will learn writing conventions, grammar skills, alternative sounds and high frequency words which aid them in writing sentences and short paragraphs.

Thalespin

Thalespin is a locally developed Maths curriculum that bridges the skills from pre-school to primary school. It is co-developed by a local Mathematician who oversaw the writing of primary school textbooks and an Early Childhood lecturer. Thalespin is designed with lots of hands-on learning. 

Every lesson begins with a Big Book, followed by class problem-solving, individual hands-on and finally, activity sheets. Once every 5 weeks, children will get to bring home a Home Partnership to think alongside with their parents.

Literacy Based Curriculum

In the Early years, Literacy Based Curriculum is taught with the intent of building and strengthening language. Using storybook engages and draws children into the book. Concepts are taught around the themes in the book. The books are carefully chosen to ensure a good variety of themes and knowledge. 

Lessons encompass hands-on, and experiential learning to involve self-help skills learning and social skills building.

Parents are praising Good Shepherd Preschool

What makes them love us?

Good Shepherd has been extremely formative for both my kids. Both my kids love going to school and never have had any problem settling in. The care that is given by the teachers is also exemplary. They go above and beyond to foster the love of education in all children. Besides the usual curriculum, the school also puts in a lot of effort to help each child grow both emotionally and socially. There is never a bad word I could say about the school, the management or the teachers.

Good Shepherd Preschool (formerly known as Good Shepherd Covent Kindergarten) provides a warm, nurturing and inclusive environment for my children’s pre-school years. The teachers are caring, engaging and are experienced in encouraging children to give the best of themselves. I deeply appreciate the holistic approach the school takes to learning.
Mrs Sharon Tan
Mother of Tan Su Fern, Nursery
I like Good Shepherd Preschool (formerly known as Good Shepherd Covent Kindergarten) for teachers are experienced and always kind. The turnover for teachers are not high which explains the environment is conducive. As it’s a Catholic Kindergarten it reinforces good values such as love, kindness and gentleness to students. Saying grace before meals is a good habit for students. Meals are prepared healthily by the school and it’s always fresh and good.
