A legacy of trust

With over four decades of experience, our long-standing history is a testament to our commitment to your child’s early years.

1980:
Our Humble Beginnings

Established in 1980 by the Metropolitan YMCA, our very first centre at Stevens Road marked the beginning of a four-decade legacy in nurturing young minds.

2013:
A Commitment to Excellence

We proudly achieved our first Singapore Preschool Accreditation Framework (SPARK) certification, establishing a high benchmark for educational quality that continues to guide our centres today.

2014:
Appointed Anchor Operator

We achieved a significant milestone by securing the Anchor Operator (AOP) contract with ECDA. In that same year, we proudly welcomed our first centre with Infant Care services.

2018:
Affirmation & Growth

Recognised for our unwavering dedication to quality preschool services, we successfully signed our second AOP contract, rapidly expanding our network to serve more Singaporean families.
