Kindergarten
Holistic development through 7 key skills
Two flexible pathways
The Kindergarten program at UTS is thoughtfully designed by integrating the British Early Years education framework, with the Oxford International Curriculum (OIC) as a core pillar.
The joy of learning is at the heart of the Oxford International Curriculum, reflecting a positive and child-centered educational approach. With a focus on nurturing children across seven key areas of development, the program offers rich content and engaging activities that prepare them confidently for Primary School.

Built upon the Oxford International Curriculum as its core foundation, the program equips children with strong competencies through four key subjects: Wellbeing, English Literacy, International Mathematics, and Science.
The curriculum is complemented by Floppy’s Phonics, one of the Top 30 phonics programs worldwide, along with the Talent Program, where children develop physical skills, explore their talents in music and visual arts, and engage in exciting STEAM and Montessori-inspired activities.
Regardless of the pathway chosen, children at UTS are nurtured to develop holistically in physical, intellectual, and emotional aspects. Guided by the philosophy of “The Joy of Learning,” UTS fosters a love for learning in every child, making each school day a journey of discovery where children are free to grow in a safe, inspiring, and caring environment.
The program is designed to support children’s holistic development across seven key developmental areas. Built around the thematic learning structure of the Oxford program and delivered through a play-based learning approach, the OEP program helps children develop essential early-life skills.
For English learning, children study through the Oxford Program and Floppy’s Phonics, ensuring early exposure to a strong foundation in English.

Floppy’s Phonics Program
From as early as 18 months old, children are introduced to the sounds of letters and word patterns, laying the foundation for reading and writing development in a native-like way through Floppy’s Phonics – a phonics program from the United Kingdom. Floppy’s Phonics inspires children’s interest in language and helps them discover the joy of letters through engaging and relatable learning activities. Through this approach, children gradually recognize letters and pronounce them correctly, naturally developing their reading ability and language skills.
Talent Program
The program is designed to support children’s holistic skill development during their golden years, where they strengthen physical abilities, explore music, visual arts, and STEAM through engaging learning experiences.
With a student-centred approach, the program helps children become more independent, build deeper connections with their environment, and develop all five senses in a flexible and meaningful way. At the same time, the project-based learning approach gives children opportunities to explore and solve real-world problems, thereby nurturing creativity and teamwork skills.
