The kindergarten, like other Than Hsiang Kindergarten branches aims to provide quality pre-school learning opportunities to serve children of the surrounding community in the Farlim area.
It has a morning session for children of 3 to 6 years with activities, fees and a curriculum similar to those of the main Centre. The kindergarten is housed in a huge three-storey bungalow. It has a play area equipped with a slide and tunnel set and a doll house.
The objectives, similar to those of the main centre focus on an all round program carefully planned so as to enhance the child's development socially, emotionally, intellectually, physically, and spiritually.
Emphasis is placed on the teaching of positive character building, i.e. independence, gratitude, appreciation, filial piety, and respect for elders. An integrated computer program is designed to expose children to Information Technology at an early age.
To cater for busy working parents our centre also provide full and half day care service for our preschoolers and before and after school care for Std 1 to Std 3 primary students.
At present, it is operating with about 100 children.
