Our philosophy
Room to imagine, roots to grow
There is always something for a child to unravel: a mystery sighting, a new quest, a hidden treasure. At Mulberry Learning we love seeing children’s eyes light up with awe and excitement.
Like a kite in the sky, we let their imagination soar while gently guiding their learning. Children have the space to explore freely and express themselves in their own way, while we build the strong roots that help them grow, in language, mathematics and the world around them.
Our vision
The Future-Ready Child
A vibrant environment that promotes holistic learning and empowers children to become enthusiastic, confident and caring global citizens of the world.
Our mission
Learning together, with parents
A partnership between educators, parents and the community to provide quality care and education through the Habits of Mind, cultivating positive values and raising lifelong, inquisitive learners.
The Future-Ready Child
More than what they know
Most preschools focus on knowledge and skills. Mulberry Learning builds all four layers, so children leave not only knowing more, but with the attitudes and habits to keep learning for life.
Habits
Repeated, consistent behaviours that become second nature, like persisting and thinking before acting.
Attitudes
Ways of thinking that shape motivation, actions and performance.
Skills
The ability to apply knowledge and do things well, built through practice.
Knowledge
Foundational facts and concepts, from literacy to numeracy.
Our curriculum
Best practice from around the world, in one curriculum
Mulberry Learning’s own curriculum brings together the best of global teaching approaches into one holistic programme, built around four ways children grow.

Intelligent thinking and future-ready habits
12 Habits of Mind, practised every day until they become second nature.
Habits of Mind™
Thinking habits that last beyond preschool
Habits of Mind is a framework of 16 thinking habits from the USA, known as an operating system for intelligent and successful people, and used by Singapore’s Ministry of Education for its top 1% of primary students. Mulberry Learning is the first and only preschool network in the world to be certified by The Institute for Habits of Mind.
