Blue House International (River Valley - Jalan Mutiara)

Blue House International River Valley is a preschool on Jalan Mutiara, a short walk from Great World City and Fort Canning Hill. Blue House first introduced its Reggio Emilia-inspired approach from a small shophouse on River Valley Road in 2008 and returned to the neighbourhood in 2022. The centre occupies a detached, two-storey family home among condominiums, with indoor and outdoor ateliers, linked indoor and outdoor spaces and a dedicated wing for the youngest playgroup children. It welcomes children aged 18 months to 6 years, and routines are adapted to each child in consultation with parents.

All Blue House centres follow the Blue House Approach, an emergent curriculum inspired by Reggio Emilia. Children are seen as capable and curious citizens with rights; educators act as co-learners and guides; and the environment is treated as a "third teacher", with ateliers, piazzas and open-ended natural and recycled materials. Long stretches of outdoor time, art and family involvement are central, and full-day, morning and afternoon programmes are offered with meals provided.
