Glory Joy Child Development Centre is a bilingual early childhood centre on Wellington Circle in Sembawang, for children from 18 months to 6 years. Its learning is play-based and built around themes, and it teaches English and Mandarin side by side. The centre puts character building at the centre of its teaching, so children learn moral values alongside academic skills. Its curriculum covers aesthetics and creative expression, discovery of the world, language and literacy, motor skills, numeracy and social and emotional development. The centre holds the Healthy Eating in Childcare Centres award and a Healthy Meals certificate from the Health Promotion Board, and it has SPARK certification from the Early Childhood Development Agency. Parents praise the caring and committed teachers, and say the centre keeps them well informed. Families whose children have been there from nursery through to K2 say the graduation was a memorable day. One parent says their son found it hard to settle at first, but after a few months he was playing with other children and learning well. Within a kilometre there are three other childcare centres on Open Locally.
