Core Classes (1-6 Years)
UWP classrooms are gateways to immersive learning and genuine exploration. As a boutique school, we hold a steadfast commitment to small class sizes, ensuring every child receives the attention they deserve. Our curriculum, a unique blend of Inquiry, Reggio, and integrated Montessori, coupled with our emphasis on mindfulness, health, and wellness, ensures a well-rounded foundation. Delve into our offerings below, where strong academics harmoniously blend with playful learning and character-building.
Play-Play-Playgroup (1 to 2 years old)
Beginning the educational journey is a significant milestone for every child, and so our Playgroup Programme at UWP is designed to make this transition as smooth as possible for both child and parent. At this tender age, children are naturally curious, eager to explore, and quick to absorb. Our Playgroup focuses on creating a nurturing environment where these young learners can safely discover the world around them.
At UWP, our commitment to small class sizes allows us to provide an environment where your child starts their journey of becoming independent and socially aware. An integral part of this journey involves group play where children make friends, learning invaluable lessons about cooperation and taking turns.
This foundational year is also when your child will see a boost in confidence, achieve little milestones, overcome curated challenges, and adopt the “Can Do” mindset.
Objectives for Playgroup
– Foster a sense of security and belongingness in our young learners.
– Enhance their sensory and motor skills through guided play and exploration.
– Lay the foundation for social interactions by promoting sharing, waiting turns, and group participation.
– Introduce basic concepts through hands-on activities, laying a solid groundwork for more structured learning in subsequent years.

Nursery 1 (2-3 years old) & Nursery 2 (3-4 years old)
At UWP, we recognize and celebrate the innate curiosity of children, understanding that even at the tender age of two, they are not just tiny individuals but capable learners full of wonder. Our Nursery program is structured to feed this natural curiosity, allowing children to discover, explore, and learn at their own pace.
N1 – Exploring Curiosity: In N1, we craft a world where their natural wonderment is met with endless opportunities for exploration. We provide a rich tapestry of sensory experiences, hands-on activities, and interactive lessons, ensuring their developmental milestones are met in an engaging and nurturing environment.
N2 – Advancing with Confidence: Our approach in N2 stands out. We delve deeper, ensuring that our young students experience a comprehensive and advanced curriculum. This is the phase where their foundational knowledge starts taking shape, leading them to ask more, know more, and confidently step into more structured learning. We prioritize both academic growth and character-building, creating a balance that nurtures well-rounded individuals ready for the challenges and joys of Kindergarten.
At UWP, we pride ourselves on going the extra mile, and this commitment to excellence is clearly visible in the strides our Nursery students make.

Kindergarten 1 (4 and 5 year old) and Kindergarten 2 (5 to 6 years old)
At UWP, Kindergarten is a crucial phase that bridges the playful early years to more structured learning. Comprising of two stages, K1 (4-5 years) and K2 (5-6 years), our Kindergarten program stands out due to its robust academic framework and whole-child focus. Drawing from the strengths of The UWP Approach, we’ve established an environment where children delve deep into concepts, ask questions, and actively participate in their learning journey. It’s here, in our boutique setting with a commitment to small class sizes, that the UWP advantage shines the brightest.
Our Kindergarten students have been engaged in Inquiry since N1. At this stage, the depth of their investigations expands. UWP students are ready to dive deeper into subjects, harnessing their natural curiosity to explore complex ideas and engage more deeply in their project-based learning. UWP students are challenged to think critically, ask probing questions, seek answers, and confidently share their knowledge.
Numeracy & Literacy
In K1, as the foundation of Kindergarten, we emphasize the development of foundational literacy and numeracy skills, ensuring that every child receives a strong start. A major focus in Kindergarten is ensuring proficiency in core subjects. In K1, literacy development is centered around enhancing writing skills using phonics and sight word vocabulary. As they transition to K2, students become adept readers, decoding and interpreting English texts with increasing autonomy. Numeracy skills are honed through hands-on activities, real-world applications, and problem-solving challenges, setting a strong foundation for more complex mathematical concepts.
Mindfulness
Instilling mindfulness in our students is of paramount importance. UWP children learn techniques to center themselves, focus on the present moment, and develop a heightened awareness of their own emotions as well as those of others. This not only fosters emotional intelligence but also equips them with tools to handle stress, challenges, and emotional highs and lows.
Character Building
Character building is a cornerstone of our Kindergarten program. Through a myriad of activities, discussions, and real-world experiences, we instill core values such as honesty, resilience, empathy, and respect. Our aim is to shape individuals who are not just academically competent but also ethically sound and socially responsible. This emphasis on character ensures our students evolve into well-rounded individuals ready to make positive contributions to their communities and the world at large.
Preparedness for Primary School
By the end of their Kindergarten journey, UWP students are academically equipped for both local and international primary schools.
Program Options
5 Full Days or 5 Half Days: Opt for a comprehensive week-long engagement or shorter sessions throughout the week.
Full Day Session (8am to 3.30pm): This includes a morning snack, lunch, and an afternoon snack.
Half Day Session (Ends at 12pm after lunch): This includes a morning snack and lunch.
