A big factor for me wasnt the curriculum per se but how the child was taught. At the pre-school age I think how a child is taught to learn vs what he is learning is more important. Children are learning all the time so I was less focused on the actual content covered. The 4 main types of school philosophies available in Singapore are: Montessori, Reggio Emelia, Waldorf and Play-based cognitive learning.
