For many young children, a full Cambridge curriculum can feel very rigorous. At Playhouse Academy, our approach is to blend the Cambridge framework with a play-based learning philosophy, creating an environment that is both academically stimulating and developmentally appropriate. We call this our “holistic approach.”

At Playhouse Academy, we believe that early exposure to multiple languages is a powerful way to foster cognitive development and global citizenship.
Our primary language of instruction is English, which is used throughout our curriculum and daily activities to build strong communication skills. Additionally, we immerse our students in Bahasa Indonesia to ensure they are connected to our local community and culture.
To give our students a truly international edge, we also offer a Mandarin language program. This is introduced through fun, interactive, and age-appropriate methods, such as songs, games, and storytelling, to make learning enjoyable and effective. This trilingual approach not only helps your child develop linguistic fluency but also enhances their problem-solving skills and cultural awareness, preparing them for a dynamic future.
At Playhouse Academy, our vision is to provide a truly inclusive and welcoming environment where every child can not only participate, but genuinely flourish. We are committed to the belief that all students, regardless of their race, religion, or background, deserve a high-quality education that is thoughtfully tailored to their individual needs and pace.

At Playhouse Academy, our approach to handling emotional meltdowns is rooted in our core vision of providing a nurturing and supportive environment. We believe that a meltdown is a child’s way of communicating a need they can’t express in words.
Our teachers are trained to handle these moments with patience and empathy. The process generally involves:
Staying Calm: Our first priority is to remain calm to help de-escalate the situation and provide a sense of security for the child.
Identifying the Cause: We try to understand the underlying reason for the meltdown—it could be overstimulation, frustration, or a need for a break.
Providing a Safe Space: We guide the child to a quiet, calming area away from the main activity to help them regulate their emotions without an audience.
Supporting Regulation: We use gentle, reassuring language and offer comfort strategies that work for that specific child, such as deep breathing, a hug, or a calming activity.
Our goal is not to punish or stop the emotion, but to help the child learn how to manage their feelings in a healthy way, reinforcing the trusting and inclusive environment we’ve created.

At Playhouse Academy, we recognize the importance of rest for a child’s growth and learning. While our core school hours are from 6:45 AM to 11:30 AM, our play-based curriculum is designed to be highly engaging and stimulating, which can be tiring for little ones. Therefore, for students who attend our extended programs, we provide a designated quiet time to allow for rest.
We understand that every child has a unique sleep schedule. We work closely with our families to understand their child’s routine and ensure they get the rest they need to thrive both in our classrooms and at home. Our goal is to balance active, hands-on learning with periods of calm to support your child’s overall well-being.
At Playhouse Academy, we understand that every child develops at their own unique pace. Our vision is to provide a nurturing and holistic environment where children feel secure and supported in all aspects of their growth. Therefore, we do not require a child to be fully toilet-trained to join our preschool and kindergarten.
The health and safety of every child at Playhouse Academy is our top priority. We take a proactive and comprehensive approach to managing food allergies and other medical conditions to ensure a safe and secure environment for all our students.
A day at Playhouse Academy is a carefully designed journey of discovery and learning. Our play-based curriculum ensures that every moment is an opportunity for your child to grow, explore, and have fun. We know that seeing is believing.

At Playhouse Academy, we understand that separation anxiety is a natural and normal part of a young child’s transition to preschool and kindergarten. Our approach is rooted in our play-based philosophy, which prioritizes a gentle, consistent, and supportive transition for both children and parents.
Our teachers are trained to make this a positive experience by:
Building Trust: We focus on building a strong, trusting relationship with each child from day one. A familiar and nurturing face helps them feel secure in their new environment.
Encouraging Quick Goodbyes: We partner with parents to make drop-offs a positive and swift routine. A quick, confident goodbye helps the child understand that their parent will be back and that they are in a safe place.
Immediate Engagement: Once a parent has left, our teachers immediately engage the child in a fun and stimulating activity, such as a sensory station, a favorite song, or a hands-on puzzle. This distraction helps redirect their focus from the sadness of separation to the excitement of the classroom.
Open Communication: We are always available to offer reassurance to parents and can provide a quick update to let you know your child has settled in and is happily engaged in their day.
Our goal is to help your child feel a sense of belonging and joy at school, empowering them to become confident and independent little learners. We invite you to Book a Tour to see our teachers in action and discuss our transition process in more detail.
