Play That Matters - An Inquiry -Embedded Play Approach
Pat’s Schoolhouse sees its students as active, interested, and capable learners, and it has embraced an inquiry-embedded play approach to teaching and learning. This enables children to gain information, skills, and dispositions for holistic development, as well as experience the joy of learning, which fosters curiosity, creativity, and confidence.
Pat’s philosophy is founded on this approach. We believe that play is a natural learning environment for children as it is safe and familiar to them. It begins with students thinking about something interesting or intriguing in curriculum material, then developing questions about it and continuing meaningful inquiries with teacher facilitation to discover the answers.
Our approach centres meticulously on developing deliberate, meaningful, and thought-provoking inquiry-embedded play-based learning experiences to promote children’s holistic development, as per the constructivist approach to play.
Think Pat’s, Think Music - An Enhanced Music Curriculum
Music is essential for a child’s growth. Music not only promotes the development of motor, verbal, cognitive, and social abilities, but it also boosts confidence and instils discipline. It is carefully interwoven into all learning areas at Pat’s Schoolhouse in order to encourage and extend children’s imaginations. Our in-house music professionals introduce our children to music via songs, stories, rhymes, games, movement, and the use of percussion instruments. All of Pat’s co-teachers are equipped with basic music skills, allowing them to engage the children via music in all of their learning experiences. This provides our students with opportunities to participate in group music creation in a fun and engaging learning setting.
Bilingual Immersion Core Curriculum
Since 1988, we have been the pioneer of the Bilingual Immersion Core Curriculum. We believe that learning should be enjoyable, hands-on, and intellectually challenging.
Both the English and Mandarin teachers at Pat’s Schoolhouse work together in the same classroom, co-owning the holistic development of the children in their care. The co-teachers collaborate to develop a teaching plan that incorporates and delivers themes, subjects, and topics in a coherent and immersive bilingual environment. This approach provides children with equal exposure to English and Mandarin, boosting language learning at an early age by encouraging them to communicate in context throughout the day.

Thank you to the team of Pat's Schoolhouse Aroozoo!”

Teachers and staffs are all very loving, creating an environment that the children can feel safe to learn. Communication from the school is prompt and clear. The team also puts in a lot of effort to design the lessons to make them immersive such as decorating the school during key events, adapting the classrooms to the learning theme and coming up with so many activities to make learning fun for the kids. The videos done by the teachers are done with so much effort and our family and friends are always so impressed by them, they also are beautiful memories of my girl's learning journey in the school.”

We were sent daily updates and photos by the teachers so that we could see how Lucy was adjusting to her new routine, which was very nice to see.”
