Growing Together
Since 1999

Our Story

Child at Street 11 was founded by volunteers, registered in 1995 and opened in 1999 on Street 11 of Ang Mo Kio Avenue 3.

A survey of nearby families found many young children staying home because childcare was out of reach. The founders believed a strong early education shapes a whole life, so they built a school where each family pays what it can, and every child receives the same high-quality programme.

Vision, Mission and Values

Our Vision

To raise can-do children in a welcoming and respectful environment that values a child’s mind.

Our Mission

What Makes Us Distinctive

In Dialogue With Reggio Children

Our practice draws on the schools of Reggio Emilia, and we remain in conversation with Reggio Children in Italy.

Real Collaborators

Children create alongside professionals: orchestra conductors, dancers, engineers and scientists.

A Long Partnership With UWCSEA

Students from United World College of South East Asia visit every week, and our children visit their kindergarten classes.

A Vegetarian, Slow-Food Kitchen

Fresh, vegetarian meals cooked on site, so children understand and enjoy where their food comes from.

Admission is need-blind: any child can apply for our programmes, whatever the family’s circumstances.

Children with special rights, often called special needs elsewhere, learn in the same classrooms as their friends. Families of every race and nationality are welcome.
