SINGAPORE, Sept. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- KiddiWinkie Schoolhouse ("KiddiWinkie"), the premium preschool brand of Babilou Family Singapore, today announced a new chapter of growth with the unveiling of 11 newly renovated centres across the island. Each refreshed centre reflects Babilou Family's commitment to designing immersive, dynamic environments that inspire future-ready learning.
A Central Stage for All-Round Learning
At the heart of each centre is the Central Stage, an interactive hub that serves as the focal point for the brand's specialised programmes. Purposefully designed for children from 18 months to 6 years old, the space hosts immersive experiences that aim to ignite creativity, strengthen language and communication skills, and foster cultural appreciation and global awareness.
"The renovations are our investment into learning environments that inspire," said Benjamin Busse, CEO of Babilou Family Singapore. "The Central Stage is where children not only build their academic foundations, but also cultivate the creativity, curiosity, and confidence they need to thrive in tomorrow's world, especially the ability to express themselves clearly and confidently in front of others."
The following specialised programmes are incorporated into the Central Stage:
- Author's Universe™: This bilingual programme introduces children to diverse literary genres and authors, to nurture a love for reading and build essential English and Chinese language acquisition skills.
- Backpack Stories™: A multicultural immersion experience where children "travel" the world, exploring cultures and traditions from various countries while developing creative writing skills through age-appropriate journaling.
- Chinese Cultural Immersion Programme: Children are introduced to Chinese traditions through hands-on activities such as crafts, food tasting, and festival celebrations.
- KiddiNewsroom™: A current affairs programme that engages children in age-appropriate discussions about real-world events. Active family involvement encourages inquiry, critical thinking, and confident communication.
Sensory Oasis®: A Multisensory Experience for KiddiWinkie Schoolhouse Infants
KiddiWinkie is progressively introducing the Sensory Oasis®, a purpose-built environment that provides infants with a rich multisensory experience to support their earliest developmental milestones. Each Sensory Oasis® room offers a serene yet stimulating space where infants can explore the world through sight, sound, and touch, essential elements for cognitive growth, motor skills, and emotional security.
"Research shows that sensory experiences in the first two years of life have a profound impact on brain development," said Rowena Mark Ramos, Head of Curriculum of Babilou Family Singapore. "The Sensory Oasis® respects each infant's pace and sensory needs, while nurturing confidence, curiosity and strengthening brain plasticity during these critical early years."
First introduced at Harbourfront, Jurong Gateway, East Coast, and Mountbatten, the Sensory Oasis® is now available across all KiddiWinkie centres.

Natural Rhythm® Pedagogy: Where Science Meets the Art of Early Childhood Education
Born from the marriage of cutting-edge neuroscience research and the best global early childhood education practices, the Natural Rhythm® pedagogy aligns learning with the natural pace of each child's development. It integrates brain development insights with purposeful play, ensuring every experience supports growth across cognitive, physical, and emotional domains.
One of the most visible applications of this pedagogy is in KiddiWinkie's outdoor learning environments, where children from infant care to K2 can engage in activities such as water and sand play, which have been proven to strengthen neural connections while supporting social skills, problem-solving, and creativity.
To further enrich sensory and imaginative play, KiddiWinkie centres offer additional outdoor learning facilities that include outdoor musical instruments and a mud kitchen or reading nest, depending on the location. Improved cycling tracks at selected centres create more opportunities for movement, balance, and joyful outdoor exploration.
"We believe that early childhood education transcends beyond academics," concluded Rowena. "By integrating learning through inquiry and exploration in thoughtfully designed environments, we can nurture well-rounded individuals who are academically prepared, emotionally resilient, and socially aware."
Parents can book a tour to experience KiddiWinkie Schoolhouse's newly renovated centres or explore the various programmes at www.kiddiwinkie.edu.sg.

KiddiWinkie Schoolhouse Unveils 11 Renovated Centres to Redefine Early Childhood Learning in Singapore
KiddiWinkie Schoolhouse Unveils 11 Renovated Centres to Redefine Early Childhood Learning in Singapore
SHENZHEN, China, Jan. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- RoboSense (02498 HKEX), a pioneering AI-driven robotics technology company, has been ranked No.1 in the 2025 3D LiDAR Sales Volume for Global Robotic Lawn Mowers by OFweek. Leveraging the generational-leading advantages of its digital LiDAR, such as the E1R, RoboSense has established deep partnerships with multiple global leading robotic lawn mower companies, including Mammotion and Segway Navimow. These collaborations have set a new benchmark for the next-generation boundary-free intelligent robotic lawn mowers driving industry development.
RoboSense's strong performance in the robotic lawn mower segment also drove record-breaking sales growth of its LiDAR products in the robotics sector in 2025, achieving an annual sales volume of 303,000 units—a year-on-year increase of 1141.8%. According to the Gaogong Industry Research Institute (GGII), "2025 Sales Volume Ranking of 3D LiDAR for Robotics in China," RoboSense ranked No.1 for LiDAR sales volume in the robotics sector, demonstrating leadership across both niche segments and the overall robotics market.
The robotic lawn mower segment was the fastest-growing robot category in 2025. According to IDC, in the first half of 2025 alone, global shipments of robotic lawn mowers reached 2.343 million units, representing a year-on-year increase of 327.2%. In this process, RoboSense's digital LiDAR, leveraging its self-developed SPAD-SoC and VCSEL digital chip architecture for high performance and reliability, has become a key driver in enabling perception upgrades and supporting market growth for robotic lawn mowers.
The E1R, the world's first fully solid-state digital LiDAR for robotics, features a 90° ultra-wide vertical FOV and 144 beams, allowing precise detection of small ground obstacles, terrain changes, and fence edges—facilitating accurate localization, mapping, and navigation for robotic lawn mowers. Its fully solid-state design ensures resilience to vibration, bumps, and shocks, improving operational stability on rough terrain by up to three times. Built to automotive-grade standards, the E1R has passed more than 60 reliability tests, including UV aging, salt spray, and electromagnetic compatibility, and can reliably operate in harsh conditions such as rain and dust. With an outdoor service life of up to 8 years, far exceeding industry standards, it serves as the optimal perception partner for all-weather, all-condition robotic lawn mower operation.
Leveraging its leading digital LiDAR products, RoboSense has become a core partner for multiple global leading robotic lawn mower companies. As the global market penetration of robotic lawn mowers continues to grow, the application of LiDAR is expected to enter a new phase of rapid expansion, with RoboSense poised to capitalize on its first-mover advantage and lead the way into the next era of strong growth.
