Inside the Sengkang Sports Centre building, Star Learners runs a preschool and child care centre for children from 18 months to 6 years old. As an appointed Partner Operator (POP) under Singapore's Early Childhood Development Agency, the centre is committed to keeping quality preschool education affordable, and it has earned the ECDA SPARK certification for its standards across curriculum, pedagogy, and health, hygiene and safety.
The centre is fully air-conditioned and spacious, with an indoor playground giving children room to play regardless of the weather outside. Getting there is straightforward too — families can alight at Farmway LRT Station, or reach the centre by bus services 50, 85, 85A, 102, 110 or 374.
Alongside its core preschool programme, the centre offers a range of enrichment options: Abacus, Zumbini & Zumba, and Speech & Drama classes conducted in both English and Chinese. These sit alongside Star Learners' wider literature-based curriculum, which immerses children in rich, exciting stories and opens up opportunities to explore concepts across multiple learning areas, building skills like problem-solving, creative and critical thinking, and communication.
A distinguishing feature of the programme is the bespoke Stanley Starfish™ Character Programme, which introduces character traits through the same literature-based approach, using stories and authentic contexts to give children real opportunities to apply what they've learned. Character, social and emotional development are woven into everyday school life — the centre describes this as a foundation where character is "not just taught, but caught."
