A child’s early years are the foundation for his/her future development, providing a strong base for lifelong learning. Well-established research continues to emphasize the importance of early childhood education as an essential building block of a child's holistic development and future success. Committed to excellence and continued innovation, Little Paddington, Singapore’s leading chain of Preschools, comprises a team of highly qualified early years educators, with years of experience and an extensive wealth of knowledge and expertise in the field.
Its award-winning curriculum incorporates global best practices and focuses on enhancing self-directed learning by creating an environment that is warm & welcoming, stimulating & engaging, and most importantly where children feel safe, secure, and nurtured. The children at Little Paddington are active protagonists (or the hero) in their own learning journey.
Fostering a ‘Holistic child-led experiential learning’, the preschool has a balanced focus on well-being, social and emotional development as well as core values including kindness, honesty, respect, resilience, and independence. The preschool pays special attention to character development, including development of cultural appreciation and understanding. “This is why Little Paddington is the first preschool in Singapore to have a United Nations Atelier to introduce the concepts of learning from different cultures from all around the world”, says Anandita Singh Raha, CEO, Little Paddington Preschool. Childhood is filled with natural wonder and curiosity.
Little Paddington has set out to ensure all its children have access to an enriching learning environment, with carefully designed indoor and outdoor spaces. This in turn sparks their curiosity, which leads to further exploration and discovery. Every day is an adventure at Little Paddington. The curriculum and environment is designed to encourage children to be forward-thinking and innovative.
The children at Little Paddington are at the heart of everything it does. A few unique features that set it apart include the spacious outdoor spaces here that feature enchanting, lush green settings. Children engage with experiences in the preschool’s outdoor playgrounds, water play areas, sand pits, petting zoo, herb garden, and more. Specialist Ateliers are unique to Little Paddington and these specialist ateliers for role playrooms, digital life rooms, music, art, cooking, science, and united nations, are where children go on a journey of fun project-based learning, and exploration.
The Science Atelier introduces hands-on technology learning through robotics and coding. These varied experiences help to build knowledge, perseverance and confidence in children. Little Paddington recognizes the importance of teachers and ensures that only early childhood qualified and experienced teachers are chosen.

As a mother of two, Anandita believes that quality early childhood education is of paramount importance in developing kind, confident and innovative children, who are ready to take on the world. She believes that children can develop to the full extent of their capabilities and strengths when they are nurtured in a loving environment. Little Paddington, her own establishment, therefore, has inspiring indoor and outdoor spaces that promote children’s innate curiosity and pastoral care. The curriculum focuses on hands-on learning across diverse areas including languages, creative arts, numeracy, appreciation of different countries and cultures, science and technology, and physical development. But most importantly, Little Paddington foregrounds children’s emotional development as well as inculcates social and environmental responsibility from a little age.
