Our programmes

Two programmes, one steady path of growth.

From first separation to school readiness.

For children aged 2 to 6, WhyteHouse programmes are designed with a clear daily rhythm: care, movement, language, play, independence, and age-appropriate academic learning.

Each stage supports what children need most at that age, from learning to express their needs and live in a group, to building positive habits, early literacy, discipline, and confidence for the next stage of school.

2 – 3 years

Nursery

A gentle beginning for children learning to feel safe, communicate, and live with others.

The Nursery years are a child's first step into group life. Through outdoor play, individual reading, guided coaching, sensory activities, music, group toy play, indoor playground time, and daily self-help routines, children begin to build communication, attention span, independence, and social confidence.

Outdoor play to start the day with movement and ease
Individual reading to build communication and listening skills
Individual coaching to support basic cognitive skills and attention span
Group toy play to practise sharing, conflict-solving, and social interaction
Music and movement for rhythm, coordination, and expression
Daily hands-on activities such as messy play and sensory play
Indoor playground time for safe movement and physical confidence
Eating independently and learning daily self-help routines
Requesting own needs with growing confidence
Beginning life in a group with care, routine, and teacher guidance

4 – 6 years

Preschool

A balanced foundation for confident learning and primary school readiness.

In the Preschool years, children are ready for more structure, stronger language exposure, positive work habits, and deeper social learning. Our programme balances five core academic subjects with outdoor play, WE.PLAY, daily reading, homework habits, and classroom discipline.

Mandarin, English, Bahasa Melayu, Mathematics, and Science
Outdoor play to begin the day with ease and readiness
Daily individual reading to support language and word recognition
Positive habits in completing own daily homework
WE.PLAY time in the afternoon for movement, imagination, and confidence
Social skills through play: negotiating, compromising, and finding solutions
Discipline through school rules, classroom rules, and daily routines
Confidence to participate, complete tasks, and learn with others

Four dimensions of growth

Every routine has a purpose.

At WhyteHouse, children do not only learn through lessons. They learn through the way they play, speak, listen, move, wait, share, ask for help, complete tasks, and take care of themselves.

Our teachers plan each day to support the whole child: what they know, what they can do, how they relate to others, and how they feel about learning.

Knowledge

Children build age-appropriate understanding through language, early numeracy, science discovery, stories, routines, and hands-on experiences.

Skills

Children practise communication, listening, attention span, self-help, reading, problem-solving, task completion, and physical coordination.

Dispositions

Children develop patience, curiosity, responsibility, confidence, willingness to try, and the ability to work through challenges with guidance.

Feelings

Children need to feel safe, seen, capable, and connected. This emotional security is the foundation for learning, discipline, and independence.

What is the teacher-to-child ratio?

Our teacher-to-child ratios are adjusted according to the age group, class size, and the needs of each batch of children we accept. Younger age groups, especially children below 4 years old, are supported with smaller ratios.

Each classroom is led by a class teacher, with assistant teachers assigned based on the children's age, group readiness, class size, and campus needs. Exact ratios may vary, and our team will be happy to share the current arrangement during your visit.

Do you serve pork-free food?

Yes. We serve pork-free meals at our centres.

How does WhyteHouse prepare children for primary school?

Our programme is designed to help children transition confidently into primary school.

We focus on independence, communication, emotional regulation, classroom routines, social confidence, problem-solving, and early academic foundations. Our academic preparation connects well with different primary pathways, including Chinese primary schools, national schools, and international schools.

Do you offer half-day or full-day programmes?

Yes. Our Sungai Nibong and Alma centres offer both half-day and full-day programmes.
