At The Growing Academy, we believe that every child is unique—with their own rhythm, needs, and endless potential. Our mission is simple yet powerful: to create a safe, supportive, and engaging environment where all children, regardless of their learning differences, feel empowered to grow. That’s why we’ve designed our programs not only to support children academically but to help them flourish emotionally and socially.

With a growing awareness of neurodiversity and the importance of inclusive education, we’re proud to be one of the few learning centers offering specialized services such as School Shadow Services in Singapore and a thoughtfully designed Preschool for Special Needs. These offerings reflect our deep commitment to supporting every child’s individual journey in a way that respects their pace, celebrates their progress, and builds a strong foundation for lifelong learning.

What Are School Shadow Services?

Transitioning into a mainstream school setting can be both exciting and overwhelming for children with learning or developmental differences. That’s where our School Shadow Services in Singapore come in. A school shadow—sometimes called an educational aide or facilitator—is a trained professional who works one-on-one with a child in their classroom environment.

At The Growing Academy, our shadows are more than just aides; they’re compassionate partners in learning. They help children navigate classroom routines, build communication skills, and develop strategies to manage their emotions or behaviors. But most importantly, they foster independence—encouraging children to take small, meaningful steps toward participating more fully in the school experience.

We work closely with families, therapists, and school staff to ensure the shadowing process is collaborative and consistent. It’s not about creating dependency; it’s about creating bridges. And those bridges can make all the difference in a child’s educational journey.

A Special Place for Special Little Minds

Finding the right preschool can be a stressful process for any parent. But when your child has additional needs—whether it’s autism, ADHD, speech delays, or sensory processing challenges—the search becomes even more complex. At The Growing Academy, we want to ease that burden. Our Preschool for Special Needs is designed specifically to support young children who need a little extra help getting started.

We’ve created a warm, inclusive space where children can thrive through play, structure, and connection. Our curriculum is not one-size-fits-all—it’s flexible and individualized. We blend evidence-based teaching methods with lots of love, patience, and creativity. Whether it’s practicing social skills during circle time or developing fine motor abilities during art, every activity is tailored to meet each child’s developmental goals.

Our low teacher-to-student ratio ensures that every child gets the attention they need. And our team—made up of early childhood educators, special education teachers, and therapists—work together to make learning joyful and meaningful.

Building Trust with Families

We know that parents are the first and most important teachers in a child’s life. That’s why partnership with families is at the heart of everything we do at The Growing Academy. From the very first meeting, we listen to your concerns, answer your questions, and work with you to build a customized plan that reflects your child’s strengths and challenges.

We offer regular updates, open communication, and family workshops to help you feel informed and involved. Our goal is not only to support your child—but to support you as a parent, too.
