About Orange Tree Preschool
A Bilingual Preschool in Singapore for Confident Kindergarten Learners
Every child deserves the space to grow: curiously, confidently, and with care. At Orange Tree Preschool, we believe early learning should be joyful and deeply rooted in a child’s natural desire to explore. From Mandarin storytelling sessions to hands-on English literacy, our classrooms offer a nurturing foundation grounded in bilingual education.
Our curriculum is designed for children from playgroup through kindergarten, with a progressive structure that encourages development in six key learning domains. As a trusted immersion preschool, we provide an environment where children feel safe to discover, create, and flourish, guided by experienced educators and language role models.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best age to start learning Mandarin?
The earlier, the better. Research shows that language acquisition is most effective before age six, when the brain is naturally wired to absorb new sounds and vocabulary.
At Orange Tree, our bilingual immersion environment gives children daily exposure to Mandarin through stories, songs, hands-on activities, and meaningful interactions. Rather than enrolling in a full Chinese preschool, parents seeking a balanced approach may find that our bilingual curriculum nurtures Mandarin proficiency while supporting holistic development across all core domains.
Should my child learn Mandarin?
Yes. Exposure to Mandarin at a young age builds stronger cognitive flexibility and communication confidence in both languages.
Do bilingual children perform better academically?
Studies indicate bilingual children often develop enhanced problem-solving and memory skills, supporting overall academic performance.
