Note from our GM

Bakar Alsagoff
General Manager, 7oaks Preschool

I hope everyone is keeping safe and healthy. And strong like the oak tree.

Do you know why we are named 7oaks? It is because the mighty oak tree is the king of the forest. I was told there is no tree more stable and grounded than the oak. It is the epitome of strength, survival, bravery and personal honour.

We want all our children who attend 7oaks Preschools to be as strong and mighty as the oak tree. Beyond strength, take a path that makes you a better person with kindness and honesty.

During my school days, there were no Ipads or laptops. We simply use pencil and paper. All the pencils will have an eraser at the top. It is a sign that we can make mistakes but we should not give up.

Always believe in yourself even when it is not easy. Be true. Be you.

Our Pedagogy

At our Preschool, we combine teacher-directed and child-initiated approaches. Part of the daily programmes planned by the teacher-in-charge, involves direct instruction of concepts and skills.

At our Student Care, we focus on education through learning. Our programmes promotes learning through exploration. We believe that exploration-based learning is an active learning approach, which helps children learn through curiosity and inquiry.

Our Board Members

An enterprising team of professionals hailing from finance, communications, and early childhood industries sits on 7oaks’ Board of Directors to effectively guide our Childcare and Student Care business.
