LAUNCH OF THE TINKER HUB
It is with great pride and pleasure that The League Group launches The Tinker Hub – a play-based enrichment centre in Marina Country Club in Punggol.
As part of The League Group, The Science League has been offering Early Years and Kindergarten enrichment direct to preschools since 2013. Responding to the popularity of our programmes offered only during the school holidays, The Tinker Hub was born.
Now children from ages 3 to 12 will be able to benefit from The Science League’s award-winning science programmes at our permanent home by the pier in Punggol.
ENRICHMENT CURRICULUM AND PEDAGOGY
In recent years, there has been a lot of research done about the benefits of play-based learning in early childhood. Children’s play allows them to explore, identify, ask questions and create meaning. In learning through play, children are influenced and advanced in their development through exploration, thinking skills, problem-solving, and language expression.
With this research underpinning our curriculum, our early childhood trained teachers and curriculum writers work to ensure this innovation will benefit our students tremendously as it also reclaims the joy of learning in childhood-playtime.
We have four special classrooms for science, robotics and Lego, literary arts and drama, and an indoor gym to support our pupils in learning better as they tinker with science, robotics and even literary classics.
The Tinker Hub is poised to be a centre for tinkering, play, imagination and discovery.
Through the process of tinkering, every child who attends our programmes will learn how to work in a team, communicate and explore new ideas without fear of failure.
