About Us

Welcome to

Quayside Isle Preparatory School

At QuIPS, we believe that children learn best when they are engaged, curious, and having fun. Our approach to early childhood education is built on the foundation of joyful learning—where exploration, play, and hands-on experiences create meaningful connections that last a lifetime.

With nearly 20 years of experience in early childhood education, I have dedicated my career to fostering environments where young children thrive. I have seen firsthand how a nurturing and enriching setting can ignite a love for learning, build confidence, and support holistic development.

My belief in QuIPS goes beyond my role as Director of Learning—I am also a parent who has entrusted my own child to this wonderful school. This decision was not just professional but deeply personal. I have witnessed the warmth of our teachers, the richness of our curriculum, and the joy on children’s faces as they grow in confidence and ability each day.

At QuIPS, we are committed to providing the best possible start for young learners. We invite you to visit us and experience the magic of learning through play, creativity, and discovery.

Warm regards,
Ms. Sharizan Osman
Director of Learning, QuIPS

Mission and Vision

Quayside Isle Preparatory School is a preschool for children aged 2 to 7, located on the beautiful island of Sentosa, where we celebrate nature and foster holistic development.

What language do children know best?

ALL children speak one language and that is the language of play. Ethnographic observations of children’s play show that games are more imaginative and creative in natural habitats. Just observe kids playing outdoors or by the seashore, puddles and rock pools and notice how engaged they are!

So how do our children learn about nature- in a building?

Our children see, observe, probe and investigate in the outdoors and then continue all those great conversations in class. This helps them assimilate experiences and consolidate knowledge. The learning loop provides an authentic opportunity to really connect and keep curiosities alive.

The beauty of connecting with nature…

When a child experiences pleasant memories that feed into his/her senses whilst at school (the sound of waves, the view of an open sea, birds chirping – anything sensorial   that we draw their attention to and explore with), these memories in turn form a reservoir of calm for them to draw upon when needed.

What we want for our children …

Our children see, observe, probe and investigate in the outdoors and then continue all those great conversations in class. This helps them assimilate experiences and consolidate knowledge. The learning loop provides an authentic opportunity to really connect and keep curiosities alive.

What we are striving for

At QuIPS, we strive to foster creativity, encouraging children to think differently, explore new solutions, and express themselves uniquely. We cultivate confidence by supporting risk-taking and developing new skills. Through compassion, we nurture thoughtful, caring individuals who respect and value others. We believe that a teacher’s curiosity sparks the same in students, creating an inspiring environment where ideas and learning thrive.
