Passionate Teachers
Lorna Whiston hires the most passionate and dedicated teachers we can find. With extensive experience in early years education, our teachers are fully qualified, dedicated and passionate about helping children develop their individual strengths and learning skills. Our preschool teachers have been with Lorna Whiston for an average of four years, and undergo over sixty hours of teacher training annually, allowing them to continually hone their teaching skills and thematic interests. All our Lorna Whiston Preschool teachers hold at a minimum, but not limited to the Diploma in Pre-School Education – Teaching. In the classroom, they are committed to each child, providing individual attention and progressive feedback; out of the classroom, they search for and prepare the most engaging and interactive lessons available. Our teaching teams are supported by our Head of Academics, who helps guide professional development and academic research to ensure that our curriculum and teaching methods remain current and relevant to the core values of Lorna Whiston, and the early childhood sector.
With Singapore’s best preschool Teacher : Child Ratio and two fully qualified teachers in every class, each child is given the full individual attention they need to support their academic growth, confidence and emotional readiness for entry in primary school.
