Ednovation, a leader in early childhood education with over 70 preschools across Singapore, China, and ASEAN, is pioneering the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) to complement traditional teaching methods.
By incorporating AI-driven programmes in its preschools, including ChildFirst and Cambridge, Ednovation aims to reduce the need for external tuition, a common practice in Singapore’s education culture.
The company’s flagship AI Chinese programme is revolutionising language education. Utilising advanced algorithms, interactive games, and spaced repetition techniques, the programme enables six-year-olds to learn 300 Chinese characters in just 18 months with less than an hour of screen time per week. This approach effectively combats the “forgetting curve” and ensures long-term retention, preparing students for Singapore’s Primary One textbooks.
In addition to language learning, Ednovation’s AI Maths and AI English programmes are broadening children’s exposure to essential skills. AI Maths enhances numeracy and logical reasoning through engaging tools, while AI English encourages creativity by allowing children to co-create stories with generative AI, complete with illustrations. These initiatives aim to nurture well-rounded learners ready for the digital future.
Ednovation also emphasises hands-on learning, with children as young as four participating in screen-free activities like coding and robotics. This balanced approach fosters teamwork, creativity, and problem-solving skills, ensuring a harmonious blend of technology and traditional learning.
Dr. Richard Yen, Founder and Managing Director of Ednovation, highlights the importance of this synergy, stating, “Our programmes align with Singapore’s national health promotion strategy, Grow Well SG, by turning screen time into a valuable learning experience.” As Ednovation continues to redefine screen use in education, it sets a precedent for integrating AI in early learning environments.
