Give Your Child a Serious Advantage in the AI Era?
As a Harvard PhD and Silicon Valley technologist, Dr Richard Yen founded ChildFirst Pre-school because he felt that traditional education is no longer enough to prepare children for the future.
At ChildFirst, children become trilingual in English, Chinese and Coding while developing creativity, communication skills and human intelligence that AI can never replace.
You may be surprised by what young children can achieve when given the right opportunities and environment.
- ChildFirst Pre-school was named Overall Champion at the National Robotics Competition in 2023, 2024 and 2025.
- Our K2 children master more than 50% of Primary 1 Chinese vocabulary before entering Primary 1.
"He has acquired invaluable social skills through play, role-play, storytelling, 'show-&-tell' (in both English & Mandarin) and learning about A.I. & robots (through coding)!"
— Parents of Lachlan William Dawson

What if your child could…
- Speak confidently in English and Chinese
- Learn Coding as a third language
- Use AI as a creative tool rather than just consume technology
- Develop resilience, creativity and critical thinking
- Build the human intelligence AI cannot replace
At ChildFirst, these skills are developed from the earliest years through purposeful learning experiences and guided exploration.
See It for Yourself at Our Open HouseHow Children Co-Create with AI
At ChildFirst, children learn to use Generative AI as a creative partner.
Through teacher-guided activities, children:
- Brainstorm story ideas
- Develop original narratives
- Create illustrations using AI tools
- Practise language and communication skills
- Express their creativity through storytelling
One example is "The Great SG Ice Kachang Disaster", an original story co-created by our pre-schoolers using English and Generative AI.
The goal is not to replace thinking.
The goal is to help children think bigger, create more and communicate more effectively.

Over time, we could see the difference ourselves and our daughter became happy and confident about going to school again. We had a difficult period previously when our daughter struggled with the transition to a new teacher, and it affected her more deeply than we initially expected. I want to specifically thank Ms Linn, the principal, for how she handled the situation.
One of the things we appreciate most is the school's equal emphasis on English, Chinese and Coding. We've had a wonderful experience with the ChildFirst Tampines branch, having seen our elder daughter graduate happily and our younger daughter still enjoying her time here.
ChildFirst's curriculum is strong and very well-rounded, with a good mix of indoor and outdoor activities, hands-on experiences and learning. We've been really happy with our daughter's experience at ChildFirst @ Tampines, and especially grateful for her teachers.
I especially appreciate the teachers' hands-on approach and how deeply they care for the children. We've had a really positive experience with ChildFirst @ Tampines. When my daughter first started Pre-Nursery, she took some time to settle in, and I'm very grateful for the teachers' patience, warmth and encouragement.
