Bethesda Kindercare: a place where each child can be known fully in his or her unique personality, character, and talents.

Through our holistic pedagogical approach, we endeavour to bring not only “wholesome” teaching but Godly “wholeness” to every child who comes through our doors.

Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.
Proverbs 22:6

Vision

Every child a well-rounded individual rooted in Christian values.

Mission

Guided by faith, we are committed to building a nurturing and engaging environment that lays the foundational skills for lifelong learning, prepares children for primary school, and teaches them to respect others and elders. Our mission is to develop all our children holistically, helping them grow into caring and ethical individuals who contribute positively to society.

Values

SPROUT
“And God said, ‘Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, on the earth.’ And it was so.”
Genesis 1:11

Self-assuredness

We believe that self-confidence and independence are needed for children to be rooted in their identities.

Passion

We believe that an enthusiastic spirit towards life allows children to thrive beyond their preschool years.

Respect

We believe that teaching children how to honour and see value in those around them fosters greater appreciation for community.

Openness

We believe that nurturing deep curiosity about the world will instill a love for learning in children for life.

Understanding

We believe that developing empathetic and caring children will help make the world a better place.

Trustworthiness

We believe that inculcating honesty and integrity is key to developing dependable and upright children who are true to their word.

Come to a safe place for learning.
