The School
From birth up to six years of a child’s life is the most crucial learning period which becomes a reference for all future behaviour, experiences, and personality development.
Learn & Play!All children are naturally curious. Our learning programme stimulates their interest, making them learners for life. Through play, our children develop into confident communicators, problem solvers, and thinkers.
Our comprehensive Early Years Curriculum features activities and equipment designed for the development of gross and fine motor coordination. Hands-on activities appropriate for this age are planned into daily routines, with care and attention to build strong foundations of love and security.
School Vision
We, at Pathways Early Years, believe in celebrating the uniqueness of each child and encouraging them to be inquisitive explorers bursting with potential. Our shared vision is to promote learning experiences, in a safe and loving environment that inspires children to dream, to create, and to discover the grandeur of the world around them.
School Mission
It is our mission to ensure that in a safe, tranquil, stimulating and intellectually challenging environment, all students shall have ample opportunity to:
Imbibe universal values of oneness;
Create and nurture a holistic community through multiple paths and approaches to learning;
Acquire habits of curiosity, reflection, adaptability, resilience and self discipline;
Commit to promoting and safeguarding a healthy, sustainable and aesthetic environment;
Maintain respect for diversity, equality and equity.

Mascot
Why a Mascot?
As the Pathways group turned 15 in the year 2018, we felt the urge to build a tangible persona for the Pathways community — somebody who embodies the values of a true Pathwaysian. It was time to have our own mascot, built and brought to life by our very own Pathwaysians.
The Making of the Mascot
We rolled up our sleeves and threw the dice at our ever-growing Pathways community, who were open to the challenge to design a mascot. Ideas and illustrations flowed in from students, faculty, alumni and parents! After receiving an overwhelming number of responses, we mixed, matched and churned ideas — and thus came out the Pathways Panthers!
Why Panthers?
Pathways Panthers stand for confident, strong-sighted and fearless explorers — synonymous with Pathwaysians. Dressed in the formal school uniform, the colour blue unites the Pathwaysian spirit. Coincidentally, it is also an alliteration of Pathways.
