The Full Story
About Us
Being advocates in early intervention and early childhood education, Peapod & Beans was started by three good friends who wanted to do something to address the gap in the early intervention space. The name Peapod & Beans are the 小名 (endearing nicknames) of one of the founders’ children whom we love so dearly and are also journeying with one who is also undergoing early intervention. We believe in loving each child with courage and gentleness and we hope that we can share a part of who we are with you.
Our Mission
Peapod & Beans celebrates that each child is uniquely created by God (Psalm 139:14). We aim to provide quality early intervention through values undergirded in Eastern-based values - 家 (Jiā), 德 (Dé), 仁 (Rén), 礼 (Lǐ), 学 (Xué), 义 (Yì) so that every child can thrive in their developmental journey to learn, laugh and love confidently.
Values and Principles
Family-Centred Approach
(家 - Jiā)
At our early intervention centre, we recognise that each child is fearfully and wonderfully made. We place the family at the heart of our approach, understanding that a nurturing and supportive family environment is crucial for revealing and celebrating the unique gifts and potential of each child.
Moral Education and Character Building (德 - Dé)
Every child is intricately designed by God, deserving of respect and care. Our programme focuses on developing strong moral values and character, guiding children to embrace their inherent worth and to grow with integrity, empathy, and responsibility.
Learning Through Relationships
(仁 - Rén)
We believe that meaningful relationships reflect the divine care and attention described in Psalm 139:13-14. Our centre fosters deep connections between children, families, and educators, creating an environment where children learn and grow through supportive and loving interactions that honour their unique design.
Structured Routines and Rituals
(礼 - Lǐ)
The structure and order seen in God’s creation, inspire our approach to routines and rituals. By providing a consistent and organised environment, we offer stability and security, helping children thrive and feel valued in their daily experiences.
Emphasis on Education and Lifelong Learning (学 - Xué)
The wondrous creation of each child motivates us to foster a love for learning. We emphasise continuous education and personal growth, encouraging children to explore their potential and embrace lifelong learning as they unfold their unique gifts.
Cultivating Social Responsibility
(义 - Yì)
There is an inherent value and purpose of each child and we aim cultivate a sense of social responsibility in our young learners. We teach children to be aware of others' needs and to contribute positively to their communities, reflecting the divine care and purpose woven into their lives.
