About Us
Columbia was founded in 1996 as a Playschool in Jurong East with a Canadian curriculum which incorporated learning through play. Subsequently, with parental feedback requesting for quality pre-school with child-care services, Columbia Early Learning Centre at Toh Guan Road was established in 1999. The preschool was renamed to Columbia Academy in 2012 due to its focus on literacy and inquiry-based curriculum which is also known as our Cerebrum Enhancement Programme. This is a premier literacy-focused curriculum which promotes literacy learning through inquiry and play, which is supported by evidenced-based research. In 2020, Columbia Academy was renamed to Columbia Preschool.
