Rain Trees International Kindergarten Singapore
Small School Big Heart Kindergarten As It Should Be
Welcome to Rain Trees International Kindergarten Singapore
Rain Trees International Kindergarten Singapore is a small school with a big heart, and takes pride in providing a fun, friendly and welcoming environment for children aged 18 months to 6 years old. At Rain Trees, children learn through play, hands-on activities, discussion and discovery.
A large number of our students are from the international community in Singapore. We offer well-rounded programmes that provide a strong learning foundation for our younger children and prepare our older children for a successful transition to an international primary school. Rain Trees is happy to take new students throughout the year subject to availability.
We strongly believe that young children should start school in a small, family friendly environment that helps them become confident learners before heading off to ‘big’ school.

Our Facilities
The school is in a detached black and white property on more than 35,000 square feet of land. We are lucky to have a massive Garden – split into 2 tiers. There are ride on toys, a vegetable patch where the children grow fruit and vegetables, two full sized football goal posts, 3 mud kitchens and lots of balls, hoops, climbing frames, wendy-houses and water play toys for all to enjoy in the garden. We have a small, safe kitchen for the children to do class baking.
Why is the school called Rain Trees?
The Rain Tree, described by the botanical gardens as the “signature tree” of Singapore is known for its large, shady canopy and is found throughout the city state. The Singapore botanical gardens has a heritage tree with a girth of 5m and more than 30m tall!
We chose the name Rain Trees for our international kindergarten to reflect the schools’ deep roots in Singapore, and our goal of nurturing each child so they can grow to their full potential.
Kind words from our parents
The teaching team is gentle, welcoming, reassuring and very competent. There is a real love for the profession and the children in this school.
The administrative team is charming, very welcoming, and keen to make you feel at home.
We have seen our daughter flourish from the age of 18months to 3 and a half years. She always went to school with enthusiasm and curiosity. We are leaving Singapore and consequently leaving the school with deep regret.
Raintrees will remain the best choice we have made for our youngest and we will miss each person of the team.
We are so fortunate to be part of a large community of families that has bought us many wonderful friendships. We love the welcoming smiles in the morning as we arrive for School and the energy you feel from the premises. The site is truly outstanding and there is nothing that compares to it in Singapore! A beautiful landed house, with the most amazing large garden for the children to be able to run freely around in. The Friday "splash play" outside is the highlight of the week! We are grateful for the opportunities to come into the School, whether it is to help run a cooking class, be a 'Mystery Reader" or attend family events.
It's a special place is so many ways and I couldn't recommend it highly enough.
More than the curriculum itself, we were keen to have our daughter go to a loving, attentive, inclusive and engaging school with lots of outdoor time. Rain Trees has more than met our criteria. It is a tight-knit, vibrant community where the parents feel as much a part of the school as the children. The school celebrates festivals from all over the world which has been one of the highlights for us and such a great way to introduce the little ones (and their parents!) to different cultures. Our daughter has been thriving here - we have a happy toddler always singing, telling stories, counting numbers and devising clever ways to convince us to take her to school on weekends as well! What has however made our experience at the school really special is seeing how lovingly and wholeheartedly our daughter has been embraced by everyone at Rain Trees. Every time we speak to the teachers we are surprised at just how attentive they have been to her personality traits and how well they understand and nurture our little girl.
The best thing about Rain Trees? Every morning we drop our daughter off at school, we are always left feeling that everyone at Rain Trees is just as delighted to get to spend time with her as she is to be at the school. As parents, this is such a precious thing to take with us. The ‘big’ school our daughter will move to when it is time, will have big shoes to fill. We could not recommend Rain Trees enough. It is the best start for a child, full of love and adventure and we are so glad to have found it for ours.

The grounds are bright with sunshine and always filled with laughter.
Going waaaaay beyond the necessary...This isn't a preschool or playgroup....this is education and love at its finest and I couldn't have asked for a better more wonderful environment.
The site is also fantastic with tons of space for them to run around and burn off energy, and plenty of space for creativity!
Finally, each teacher that I've come across at Rain Trees has had the same calm, caring and supportive qualities you would look for in a teacher of your tiny ones.
