Mulberry Learning

Mulberry Learning is a pioneer in early childhood education, proudly recognised as the world’s first preschool network certified for the Habits of Mind™ (HOM) framework. This certification reflects the organisation’s commitment to nurturing confident, curious, and capable children through a holistic, inquiry-based approach that goes beyond academics.

At the heart of their curriculum is the internationally respected Habits of Mind™ framework, also adopted by Singapore’s Ministry of Education to cultivate the top 1% of students in its Gifted Education Programme. Mulberry Learning is the first and only preschool network globally to be certified for this framework.

• Of the 16 Habits of Mind™, 12 have been carefully curated for early learners and are mindfully integrated into daily routines, play, and teachable moments.
• Habits such as persisting, thinking flexibly, managing impulsivity, and striving for accuracy empower children to approach challenges with confidence, resilience, and curiosity.

The iDevelop–iExplore–iLearn–iExperience Model

Central to Mulberry Learning’s approach is its proprietary iDevelop, iExplore, iLearn, and iExperience model, which brings the Habits of Mind™ and the Reggio Emilia-inspired philosophy to life. Children naturally acquire strong bilingual skills while engaging in meaningful, age-appropriate learning experiences designed to strengthen problem-solving, reflective thinking, and flexible cognition.

• For example, under the iExplore pillar, children undertake project-based inquiries, collaborate with peers, and present their findings in both English and Chinese, fostering deep conceptual understanding and purposeful bilingual communication.

Purposeful Learning Environments

Mulberry Learning’s centres are thoughtfully designed to spark joyful exploration and creativity. Indoor and outdoor spaces feature specialised learning zones such as:

• Light Atelier
• Busy Baker
• Imaginary Playscape
• Discovery Cove
• Reading Nook
• Construction Piazza
• Art Atelier

These areas encourage children to experiment, problem-solve, communicate ideas, and engage their senses. Whether building structures in the Construction Piazza, expressing emotions through visual arts in the Art Atelier, or discovering scientific concepts in Discovery Cove, children learn through hands-on experiences that cultivate independence, creativity, and critical thinking.

Bilingual Literacy and Academic Foundations

Mulberry Learning places strong emphasis on literacy and numeracy alongside inquiry-based learning. Its bilingual programme equips children with a robust command of English and Chinese.

• By age six, children will typically develop an English vocabulary of around 4,500 words.
• They will also master over 2,000 Chinese words, more than 40 idioms, and confidently reciting up to 16 classical poems, including well-known works such as Ming Ri Ge (明日歌).

This bilingual grounding enhances cognitive flexibility, cultural appreciation, and communication skills from an early age.

Infant Care Programme

Mulberry Learning also offers a distinctive Infant Care Programme, designed to support development during the formative early years. Mulberry Learning has signature programmes specially tailored for infants, such as:

• Little Explorer™
• Music Stimulation™
• Muscle Master™
• First Touch™
• Colourful World™

These signature programmes encourage infants to learn through sensory exploration, movement, music, and early discovery. Many centres include an infant spa, featuring bubbles, whirlpool jets, and soothing lights to provide a calming and enriching sensory experience.

Educators Who Inspire

The quality of education at Mulberry Learning is underpinned by its award-winning educators. Each teacher undergoes over 250 hours of training to deliver the Reggio-inspired, child-centric curriculum with excellence. Educators observe and document each child’s learning journey, providing guidance and meaningful interactions that ensure every child feels seen, heard, and valued.

Recognition and Global Reach

Mulberry Learning’s dedication to holistic education has earned the Top Brand 2024 award by Influential Brands and recognition for “Singapore’s Best Holistic Curriculum” for three consecutive years. With over 20 centres in Singapore and an expanding presence in Cambodia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Australia, Mulberry Learning continues to make a significant global impact in early childhood education.

Preparing Children for the Future

Education at Mulberry Learning focuses on nurturing confident, curious, and capable individuals rather than rushing children toward predefined outcomes. By thoughtfully integrating the Habits of Mind™, the Reggio Emilia-inspired approach, the iDevelop–iExplore–iLearn–iExperience model, bilingual foundations, purpose-designed environments, and highly trained educators, the school equips children with the mindset, skills, and joy needed to become resilient, future-ready learners capable of thriving in an ever-changing world.
