Mulberry Learning’s preschool learning practices
Preschool serves as a stepping stone between early childhood and the start of a child’s formal education journey. As such, these formative years ought to be maximised fully.
Here are 3 unconventional techniques adopted by Mulberry Learning which tap into the full learning potential of preschoolers:
1. Using Habits Of Mind – a framework used by MOE’s gifted education programme
Mulberry Learning follows the Habits Of Mind curriculum, which identifies 16 key habits to aid in the dilemmas of everyday life.
These include essential concepts such as managing impulsivity – the ability to manage one’s emotions and thinking before acting, hence preventing rash behaviour and unintended consequences.
Shifting away from a sole focus on grades, imparting soft skills such as impulse management and flexible thinking fulfil the crucial development of a strong Emotional Quotient (EQ).

Originating from Italy as a progressive approach in early childhood education, Reggio Emilia is centered around self-directed learning.
Instead of committing entire textbooks’ worth of information to memory without actually processing the information, kids form their own understanding based on observations, interactions and communication.
3. Getting a head-start in math and languages through Mulberry Learning’s signature programmes
