Ms Fiona Walker, the Group Managing Director of Julia Gabriel Education said, “The interest of our children lies at the heart of all our decisions. We feel immensely fortunate to have found a spot that perfectly complements our vision of providing the highest quality education for them. The ongoing support and understanding demonstrated by parents of children from our Turf Club preschool throughout this process has also been truly invaluable. With our new and enhanced services, we hope to remain steadfast in delivering top-notch educational experiences that enrich the young minds of tomorrow.”

As part of the strategic efforts to strengthen the children’s holistic development, Julia Gabriel Education will introduce a diverse range of full-day programmes which will be rolled out at all Julia Gabriel Preschools by 2024. The unique provision of full-day programmes allows for a well-rounded and comprehensive curriculum. These engaging programmes provide a platform for children to explore interests, develop essential skills, and nurture talents, igniting lifelong curiosity and passion for learning.
Students can continue to Thrive with new after-school care service
One of the most significant additions to the Education Group’s current offerings is the introduction of an after-school care service – Thrive. It provides parents with a reliable and nurturing environment for their primary school-going children after regular school hours and includes Julia Gabriel and Chengzhu Mandarin Centre‘s Primary Year Programmes. With the concept of creating a “Home Away from Home”, this thoughtful expansion addresses the evolving needs of modern families. Parents can now be assured that their children receive attentive care while they are at work, ensuring their academic needs are met within a social, safe, and joyful setting.
