About this school
Blue House International East Coast is a preschool on Rambai Road, near Joo Chiat and Still Road, run by Blue House International, which pioneered the Reggio Emilia-inspired approach in Singapore in 2008. The centre is a single-storey bungalow with a large garden and veranda, and it is deliberately small, with capacity for only 60 children aged 18 months to 6 years. Children of all ages meet in a central piazza, make art on the veranda, explore the garden and go on weekly community walks to build links with local shopkeepers and neighbours.
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.
