Reggio Emilia-inspired Preschool Singapore

About Odyssey The Global Preschool

Odyssey The Global Preschool is inspired by innovative global teaching pedagogies from the United States and the United Kingdom, as well as the Reggio Emilia educational practices in Northern Italy. We offer an award-winning curriculum within a fully-equipped Reggio Emilia-inspired campus, specially designed for exploratory and self-directed learning.

As one of the leading Reggio Emilia-inspired preschools in Singapore, we promote an educational culture of collaboration, focusing on the child as an active and competent learner, whilst celebrating the active role of the environment as the third teacher. More than just a preschool, we serve as a research and education hub for developing innovative and internationally acclaimed teaching curricula to bring forth a unique Odyssey experience.

Because your child deserves only the best.

Odyssey The Global Preschool is proud to be part of the Busy Bees Singapore family of education companies.

Odyssey’s Journey Towards Reggio Emilia

We began our journey way back in 1999, when the founding team witnessed the amazing exhibit, ‘The Hundred Languages of Children’ in San Francisco.

The schools of Reggio Emilia have earned international acclaim for their innovative pedagogy and powerful, practice-based theory in early childhood education. Inspired by its open-ended, child-centred learning philosophy, the team made the first exploratory trip to Reggio Emilia in 2001 to begin their research and experimentation of the various elements of its best practices.

In 2008, our relentless quest to conceptualise a unique, innovative early childhood pedagogy led to the birth of our first Reggio Emilia-inspired preschool in Singapore at Wilkinson Road.

Henceforth, we continued to expand our commitment to deliver quality preschool education to 5 other campuses in Fourth Avenue, Loyang, Still Road, Orchard and Dempsey in Singapore, as well as Mont Kiara in Malaysia.
