A collective of educators proving that play and future-readiness belong
together

Our Roots & Our Promise

Laureum blossoms from 2 Mothers, Educators and Researchers - Siqi and Xingting's shared vision:

A collective that advocates for children being outdoors and in touch with nature and natural spaces. Where nature is viewed to serve to calm, inspire and engage.

Where the childhood we remember - finding joy in the simplest experiences, getting our hands dirty, independently constructing true authentic play (through natural spaces and open-ended loose materials), a celebration of the autonomy to wander and wonder - are brought back to today's children.

Where languages, English and Mandarin, are intrinsically acquired through organic opportunities and environments for communication and expressions.

Where children are celebrated for being curious, trusted with a natural competence to assess their own risks, and granted the time and resources to feel, play, and construct knowledge.

Here, learning intrinsically happens for the child, and magic happens for the world.

Our Roots

Our Promise

Rooted in global research and child-rights advocacy, and thoughtfully adapted to Singapore’s realities, Laureum nurtures grounded, joyful, and capable learners: ready not just for school, but for life in a changing world.

LAUREUM 乐源

Laureum draws its name from the laurel tree, a symbol long associated with resilience, growth, and quiet excellence across sports, literacy, the humanities, sciences, and the arts.

In nature, the laurel is evergreen: steady, rooted, and enduring. In learning, it represents the cultivation of knowledge over time - built through inquiry, effort, reflection, and meaning.

The suffix –eum, meaning “a place of” or “made of”, grounds Laureum as both a space and a collective - one shaped by children, educators, and environments that honour how learning truly unfolds.

Laureum is a place made of curiosity, resilience, and discovery.
A place where knowledge is constructed through lived experiences, where literacy, numeracy, movement, and creativity emerge naturally through purposeful play, and where children are guided to excel through deep engagement and a genuine love for learning.

乐
源自内在的喜悦与学习动机。
孩子在自然中探索、发现、表达，
学习不被强加，而由兴趣与意义自然生发。

源
回到学习的本源
好奇心、真实体验、身体感知，
以及与世界的深度连接。
亦象征自然，始终是最深远的老师。

乐源
在自然中，回到学习的本源；
在共同体中，滋养孩子的快乐成长。
是一切学习喜悦的起点，
也是孩子终身学习之路的源头。

Wander far, wonder deep

Reflections shared by families we've journeyed with

她非常重视孩子的真实体验与探索式学习，常常带领孩子们走出教室，走进大自然。在户外，孩子们观察植物的生长、叶子的形状与变化；即使遇到下雨天，兴婷老师也不急着把孩子“收回”教室，而是引导他们去感受雨水的下落、在水洼里跳跃，体验自然的美好与乐趣。
