Mulberry Learning at Bukit Batok is a preschool and infant care centre on Bukit Batok Street 22, and it takes children from two months to six years. It is part of a chain of centres across Singapore. The programme is built on experiential learning and draws on the Reggio Emilia approach, and the chain describes its curriculum as bilingual, with a Chinese programme that builds vocabulary and recitation from an early age.
Parents who write about the centre mention the water play, the outdoor play area and the rooftop playground. Several describe the warm feel of the place and the weekly updates and photos they receive. One family says the teachers are loving and that the transition into pre-nursery went smoothly for their child, who started at 18 months. Another family chose to withdraw their child after a difficult experience, and forfeited the deposit. Reviews describe the staff as responsible and dedicated.
