Our UK based program is designed to bridge any learning gaps that exist in their core skills or to enhance their learning capabilities for the more advanced eager learner. We believe that our program does not only cover the academic aspects of learning but also inculcates values to mould the holistic being of a child through adopting real life soft skills and fostering ownerships of their assigned task and goals.
MagiKats Workshops
Here at MagiKats, your children will attend 2hourly weekly workshop sessions where they will be coached and mentored in structured intimate small size learning groups.
Within these workshops, they will learn alongside others and thus do not feel singled out or isolated, enjoying immediate support and help with any topics that they are currently tackling at school; whilst also benefitting from individual coaching and mentoring. They will also benefit from the time based worksheets that are placed within the workshops to build their core excellence competencies.
At the end of the workshop, your children will be requested to self-rate their learning for the day and their mentor will do a review at the end of the workshop to recap and ensure that learning progress is well and managed and tracked for the next workshop session that the student will attend next week.
MagiKats Aims to mould a child, not just academically but holistically!
With an understanding of human behaviors, we offer reward programs. One way is through stamps collections on a weekly basis for the efforts that the students put in at the academic level as well as when a child adopts and follows rules and guidelines set out in the centre alongside with taking ownerships of their learning and tasks assigned to them.
Stamps collected can be exchanged for prizes and gifts and recognition of Top Student will be announced after each term as well as overall well deserved students will be rewarded at the MagiKats Annual Hero Awards Day.
Constant motivation and encouragement is a positive approach that we adopt here to build confidence and a love for learning for your children.

Two by Two Schoolhouse
Two by Two Schoolhouse is a kindergarten cum enrichment centre with a Mandarin emphasis. We specialize in language acquisition and have successfully developed a curriculum that nurtures lifelong learning.
Our background
Two by Two Schoolhouse was founded by two mothers who only wanted the best learning environment for their children. We wanted to create innovative and experiential programs whereby our children could learn through play.
Our methodology
We have created a stress-free, natural and immersive environment with a low teacher-student ratio, for our children to be able to grasp the nuances of the language effortlessly through a play based and child initiated approach.
Our curriculum exposes children to a wide spectrum of topics, firing their imagination and encouraging curiosity, ultimately developing a confident and effectively bilingual child.
Learning takes place through structured hands on activities and is not confined to the classroom. We have frequent field trips which reinforce learning and also a Multisports program to develop children’s physical and mental capabilities.
Our strength
We have seen great success with the children enrolled at our school. They are of diverse heritage and ethnicity, with the non-local nationalities making up 40% of our enrolment. This provides invaluable opportunities for greater learning experiences and exchange of knowledge.
Watching our non-native speakers using Mandarin confidently and effectively is testimony of the success of our teaching methodology. A good insight into our philosophy and the success of our program can be gleaned from our corporate video at our website www.twobytwo.sg
