iTeach Principles
The iTeach principles guide the planning, designing and facilitation of meaningful and appropriate learning experiences for young children. These principles are identified based on findings from local and international research on how children learn and develop as well as good practices evident in pre-school settings in Singapore (refer to Annex for theories and research that underpin the principles). These are critical considerations of a quality kindergarten curriculum.
