About Us

Our Story

Pages & Play, an after-school learning centre founded by Ms Goh—who is also the founder of Writers Studio—is guided by a Master’s graduate in Creative Writing with 24 years of teaching experience and a remarkable 90% student improvement rate. Formerly a Head of Department at an MOE school, Ms Goh brings extensive training in psychology, business, and accountancy, along with expertise in teaching both special needs and high-ability learners.

Pages & Play is dedicated to empowering children to thrive in a rapidly changing world. Guided by a clear mission, vision, and philosophy, our passionate teachers are committed to nurturing every child’s potential.

Our Philosophy

At 盛远探学园, we believe that the early years are a time of profound discovery, when a child’s wonder becomes the foundation for lifelong learning. Our philosophy is rooted in a simple, powerful idea: young children are not just preparing for life: they are living it fully, here and now.

Guided by the International Baccalaureate (IB) Early Years Framework and our values of 思辨 (Critical Thinking), 探究 (Inquiry), and 成长 (Growth), we nurture children aged 3 to 6 through a play-based, inquiry-driven environment where curiosity is honoured, ideas are explored, and every child is empowered to grow at their own pace.

Our classrooms are vibrant spaces of language, exploration, and expression. Through stories, conversation, art, and nature, we build literacy, numeracy, and social-emotional understanding in ways that are meaningful, joyful, and developmentally appropriate. We view each question a child asks as an opening—to wonder, to think deeply, and to understand the world through both heart and mind.

We are inspired by the IB’s vision to develop children who are caring, open-minded, reflective, and confident in their identity. We encourage them to explore diverse perspectives and cultivate empathy from their earliest days.

At 盛远探学园, we believe that children are capable, curious thinkers. They don’t wait to grow into greatness—they grow through every thoughtful interaction, every question asked, every story told, and every problem explored.

Here, learning is not rushed.
It is grown, gently and purposefully, through inquiry, play, and connection.

Here, every child is seen, heard, and supported, so they can thrive, think boldly, and begin to shape their world.

Our Vision

To nurture curious, capable, and compassionate young learners through inquiry-driven experiences that lay a strong foundation for academic and lifelong success.

We envision a preschool environment where children are empowered to wonder, discover, and grow. A school aimed at developing the confidence, thinking skills and early academic readiness they need to thrive in primary school.

Our Mission

At Pages and Play, our mission is to:

• Inspire a love for learning through inquiry, storytelling and hands-on exploration
• Provide enriching experiences that support early development in language, literacy, numeracy and science
• Foster critical thinking, creativity, collaboration and communication—key skills in 21st-century learning
• Support each child’s academic journey with developmentally appropriate exposure to reading, writing, counting, and problem-solving
• Honour each child’s voice and individuality by guiding learning through play, discussion, and authentic engagement

Partner with families to ensure each child is emotionally supported and academically prepared for the primary years ahead

About Pages & Play’s IB-Inquiry Programme

Pages & Play’s curriculum is inspired by the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (IB PYP), focusing on inquiry-based learning to foster curiosity, critical thinking, and holistic development in children aged 3 to 6.

Our programme encourages young learners to ask meaningful questions, explore real-world concepts, and construct knowledge through play, storytelling, and hands-on activities. We emphasize bilingual learning in English and Mandarin to build strong communication skills.

Guided by IB’s learner profile attributes, our teachers nurture caring, reflective, and open-minded children who develop creativity, collaboration, and communication skills — essential for lifelong learning and success in primary school and beyond.

At Pages & Play, we take pride in our exceptional team of educators and staff who are committed to nurturing a love of learning, fostering creativity, and supporting the personal growth of every student. Our team works collaboratively to create a warm, inclusive, and dynamic environment where students thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
