About this school
Blue House International Tanglin is a preschool on Kay Siang Road, close to Tanglin Road, housed in a colonial-style black-and-white bungalow with large gardens. The first floor is given over to the under-3s programme, while older children use the second floor. Children have use of a garden atelier, piazza, mud kitchen, library and an adjoining Community Park, where the centre runs its "Atelier Under the Sky", an outdoor classroom that adds elements of Forest School practice. The centre welcomes children aged 18 months to 6 years.
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.
