CIS opens spectacular new Outdoor Discovery Centre!

As one of Singapore’s leading international kindergartens,Canadian International School (CIS) kindergarten is delighted to announce the opening of a spectacular new Outdoor Discovery Centre for students at our Lakeside campus. This state-of-the-art, purpose-built area, is designed to allow young children to engage in sights, sounds, tastes and textures unique to the outdoors. It is also built to help children develop important social, gross motor, mathematic, observation and science skills.

Key Outdoor Discovery Centre Features:

Mud garden. 

This is a great place for children to make experiments and learn about math concepts such as pouring, measuring and capacity.

Edible vegetable garden. 

Children learn about the the importance of health and nutrition as well as the role the environment plays in growing food.

Natural pond. 

Children learn about water ecosystems and the important environmental functions it performs.

Art walls. 

Children collaborate together to produce large art murals using different types of media including leaves and flowers from the garden. They also develop literacy skills by writing and creating different shapes on the walls.

Sound garden.

Children discover and enjoy wonderful sounds generated by playing with chimes, plastic buckets and other items, attached to the purpose built walls.

Bicycle track, grassy hills and tunnels. 

These features are perfect for developing children’s gross motor skills and playing lots of fun games like ‘king of the hill’ and ‘hide and seek’. Children can also use the tunnels as a place to withdraw to for peace and reflection.
