Mulberry Learning

Mulberry Learning is a Singapore-headquartered preschool and infant care brand that operates a network of early childhood education centres. It positions itself as an award-winning preschool brand built around a distinctive pedagogy that blends the Reggio Emilia approach, the Habits of Mind™ framework, and the theory of Multiple Intelligences. The brand states that it is the first and only preschool network in the world to be certified by The Institute for Habits of Mind™ from the United States, a credential it uses as a central point of differentiation. The company's stated mission is to nurture "a competent explorer, an imaginative thinker, a creative problem solver and the Future Ready Child." Its programmes span infant care and preschool, with a strong emphasis on bilingual learning. The Chinese preschool programme is described as a structured and progressive pathway designed to build competency in Chinese, with the goal that children develop an expressive vocabulary of more than 4,200 Chinese words and recite more than 30 Chinese poems and over 80 idioms by the age of six. Mulberry Learning operates 18 locations around Singapore, according to its own company page, and has expanded internationally with centres in Australia, Panama, and several preschool campuses in major cities. Its curriculum is marketed under a proprietary model described as iDevelop / iExplore / iLearn / iExperience, which the brand says delivers a fun bilingual learning experience and a comprehensive, holistic education. The brand has been recognised by parenting media and industry bodies, including the Singapore Prestige Brand Award, Influential Brands, and various parenting magazine awards. Beyond curriculum, Mulberry Learning emphasises its physical learning environments, describing its Reggio-inspired spaces as the "third teacher" and investing in teacher training of over 250 hours. The brand is recognised for vibrant learning spaces, comprehensive bilingual programmes, holistic development outcomes, and character development via the Habits of Mind framework. It markets itself to parents in Singapore and internationally as a premium early childhood education provider.

Mulberry Learning began with the stated dream of nurturing "a competent explorer, an imaginative thinker, a creative problem solver and the Future Ready Child." From its base in Singapore, the brand developed a distinctive early childhood pedagogy that combines the Reggio Emilia approach, the Habits of Mind™ framework, and the theory of Multiple Intelligences. This combination became the foundation of its identity as a preschool network. A defining milestone was its certification by The Institute for Habits of Mind™ from the United States. Mulberry Learning states that it is the first and only preschool in Singapore — and the first preschool network in the world — to receive this certification. This credential underpins its character development positioning and its proprietary Habits of Mind™ framework. Over the years, the brand expanded its footprint across Singapore. Its company page states that it operates 18 locations around Singapore, with named centres including Bendemeer, Sixth Avenue, Fusionopolis, Braddell, Bishan, Shenton Way, and Tai Seng. It also expanded internationally, with centres in Australia, Panama, and several preschool campuses in major cities. Mulberry Learning's curriculum evolved into a proprietary model described as iDevelop / iExplore / iLearn / iExperience, which the brand says provides a fun bilingual learning experience and a comprehensive, holistic education. Its Chinese preschool programme was developed as a structured and progressive pathway, with the goal that children develop an expressive vocabulary of more than 4,200 Chinese words and recite more than 30 Chinese poems and over 80 idioms by the age of six. The brand has accumulated recognition from parenting media and industry bodies.
