IntroductIon

The National Arts Council (NAC) believes that the arts are an integral part of all Singaporeans’ lives and exposure should begin from a young age. NAC hopes that children can enjoy the benefits of learning in and through the arts. As such, NAC is committed to helping all pre-schoolers have access to quality arts education for expression, learning and reflection.

We all have fond memories of our first experiences with a piece of crayon or a favourite piece of music, and we believe that the arts are some of the best ways to nurture creativity in a child’s development; as children are naturally drawn to visuals, rhythms and movements. The programmes in this booklet are a database of 46 Arts Education Programmes (AEP) targeted specifically at pre-school children (Kindergarten 1 and 2, ages 5 and 6) as part of a larger suite of engagement strategies being piloted for this sector.

With this database of arts programmes, which is specially curated by NAC and representatives from the arts and early childhood sectors, pre-schoolers can now enjoy quality arts activities led by professional artists and arts educators with the relevant qualifications and experiences in delivering programmes for children.

Programmes accepted under this pilot span across 5 different art forms (Dance, Music, Theatre, Visual Arts and Literary Arts) and consist of 3 programme categories:

Arts ExposureChildren are introduced to a particular art form. Programmes are 30 to 40 minutes in duration and presented as performances. Each programme is accompanied by an explanation on the background and development of the art form or a talk-cum demonstration segment.

Arts Experience Programmes provide children with hands-on participation in the various art forms and are suitable for small groups of children. Programmes are interactive and encourage children’s enjoyment of the art form. Programmes typically last from 3 to 10 sessions.

Arts ExcursionProgrammes allow children to attend performances at purpose-built arts venues and visit museums, galleries, art centres, artists’ studios and theatres.

These programmes have been endorsed from July 2014 to March 2016. Programmes accepted under the Pre-School AEP will be reviewed every 2 years to ensure relevance and alignment to the curriculum framework for kindergartens in Singapore.

Early childhood educators are encouraged to purchase these endorsed arts programmes for children by contacting the arts provider directly. Please direct any questions or feedback to the NAC Arts Education team at [email protected].

• Students will be encouraged to propose their creative ideas during the course

• Each session will consist a 5 min reflection-sharing time which allows students to articulate how they feel during the

lesson, regarding the dance or music, and what they have learned. This process encourages the students to reflect and

express themselves• Students will present a mini showcase for their teachers and

parents on the 6th session. This is essential as the students will feel a great sense of ownership towards what they have

learned in the course At tHe end of tHe progrAmme, cHildrensHould be Able to

• Children will be introduced to all aspects of theatre — the foundation (text) , the creation (storytelling, the making and manipulation of props) and the experience (performance and production elements)

• Children will be introduced to new and useful vocabulary using books and other visual aids to keep them engaged and hone their language skills (expressive and receptive)

• Children will learn elements of performance e.g. Puppetry, Costumes/ Props/ Masks, Improvisations, Music/ Movement/ Mime, Dramatic Expressions, Physical Expressions, Choral Speaking, Crafting of stories

• Children will develop social-emotional competencies e.g. Self and Social Awareness, Self and Relationship Management, Problem-solving and Responsible Decision-making

• Children will demonstrate their learning in the form of a group performance


The Children’s Theatre Circle aims to provide children with a heightened experience of drama, the literary arts and of course, lots of fun! The children in the programme will go through a highly interactive and integrated arts experience, exploring and discovering the 4 art disciplines – dance/movements, music, theatre and visual arts.

The children will be introduced to the important elements of theatre arts. They will explore pantomime, mask theatre, improvisation, role/character dramatization and puppetry in theatre while they act, sing, dance and learn to create. They will also take on different r oles and inject their own ideas, exercise their voices creatively and confidently and work on building the script, characters, emotions and moods to enhance language skills and expressions.

TLC uses the “process approach” to develop performance skills in young children. We encourage children to progress at their own pace and enjoy the journey in a naturalistic manner. It is important to understand that using “process drama” in our lessons is not necessarily a performance-based method. The advantages of process drama is that it allows children to practice life and social skills, builds perspective-taking skills, understand characters in the story and relate certain situations to their own experiences. It is a very personable approach to teaching theatre arts and a method we, at TLC, find it to be most appropriate when working with preschool-aged children.
