Metta PreSchool @ Punggol
Metta Preschool @ Punggol (MPSP) is an Early Intervention Centre that admits children (Singaporeans and PRs only) under the ages of 6 years old, referred from KKH, Department of Children Development , for their special needs concerns. These include Speech & Language Disorder (SLD), Global Developmental Delay (GDD), Attention Deficit & Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD).
Our early intervention programmes hold the strong belief that all children can succeed with MPSP as their partners in their learning journeys to reach their full potential. The child-centred focus in our programmes encompasses the child’s cognitive , communication, adaptive skills, fine and gross motor skills and social skills. In a professional team of early interventionists, occupational therapists , speech & language therapists, social worker and psychologists, every child’s strength and learning needs will be the basis of discussion for their individualized educational plan, aligned with the pedagogical principles of Early Childhood Holistic Outcomes (ECHO) framework. This evidence-based curriculum will allow MPSP to ensure parental participation and involvement as well.

Curriculum
Regardless of their level of ability, we strive to assist the children in developing their fullest potential through an enriching curriculum that is beneficial and developmentally appropriate.
Designed with their holistic development in mind, our curriculum encompasses the following programmes that equip them with the skills and abilities necessary for further education:
Preschool academic skills comprising Language & Literacy, Numeracy, Arts & Crafts and Discovery & Exploration
- Physical Development (motor skills)
- Personal Development (self-help skills)
- Social and Emotional Development
- Computer-Based Learning Programmes
Individualised education plans (IEPs) are drawn up for the children by our teachers in consultation with parents/guardians and our paramedical team to identify their unique learning styles, from which customised programmes are devised to suit their abilities and needs.
To ensure that their learning needs and goals are met, these IEPs are reviewed regularly to assess the outcomes.
Support Services
Tending to the children’s physiological and emotional development is a multi-disciplinary team comprising a psychologist, an occupational therapist and a speech therapist, together with a social worker who offers social support services and assistance.
Each child’s developmental progress will be monitored and assessed by them.
As we are an approved institution under the Children Development Co-Savings (Baby Bonus) Scheme, eligible parents can use the savings available in their kids’ Children Development Account to pay for the school fees.
To ensure that needy children can benefit from our services, subsidies are given to low-income families base on their monthly per capita income.
We also work closely with the MSF and NCSS to assist needy families through specific funding schemes.
On the other hand, the Education Endowment Fund created by our headquarters provides further financial aid for disadvantaged pupils in the form of bursaries and book prizes.
