Cherie Hearts @ Charlton was established in November 2003 with a simple belief: every child is unique and deserves a safe, nurturing space to flourish. Over the years, we’ve grown into a trusted name in early childhood education, guided by dedicated teachers, caring families, and a community that shares our values.
Our centre is more than a childcare facility — it’s a place where children build confidence, discover their strengths, and develop the foundations for a lifetime of learning.
At Cherie Hearts @ Charlton, we believe in working hand in hand with parents to develop our pre-schoolers holistically in the six fundamental areas of development – Language & Literacy, Numeracy, Aesthetic & Creative Expression, Motor Skills Development, Discovery of the World and Social & Emotional Development.
Come rekindle the joys of growing up with your little Cherians and watch them grow at Cherie Hearts.
Active Learners, Caring Citizens
We aspire to nurture children who are curious, confident, and motivated to explore the world around them. Beyond academics, we aim to instill empathy, respect, and responsibility so they grow into individuals who not only excel in learning but also contribute positively to their families, communities, and the world.
We Learn, We Care
Our mission is to provide a safe, inclusive, and engaging environment where every child can thrive. Through innovative teaching, hands-on experiences, and strong partnerships with parents, we support each child’s unique journey of discovery. At Cherie Hearts, learning goes hand-in-hand with caring — for oneself, for others, and for the community.

Cherie Hearts has been wonderful! My child has transitioned seamlessly with the help of the kind and thoughtful teachers. Our child has also terrific exposure to mandarin and has greatly increased her usage of the language even at home. I highly recommend this school! – Parents of Odelia Lee
Teachers and principal are proactive and will engage the parents regularly. There are many activities in the school and teachers are truly concern of my child’s development. Both the principal and staff/teachers are willing to put in the extra mile to ensure the child’s well-being is taken care of! – Parents of Ng Jun Jia and Ng Yi En
We just transferred our baby to Cherie Hearts last December. I see drastic changes in her behaviour and moods in just a few weeks. She becomes more expressive and cheerful compared to her old school. She is really happy here and the teachers are very attentive to details which make me as a parent feel safe to put my loved one here. – Parents of Jarinya Ang
We are deeply grateful to enroll our child to Cherie Hearts @ Charlton. Thank you for making us feel comfortable being away from our child while at work and caring for him beyond our expectations. Appreciate for making our son feel entertained, loved, special and contributing to our child’s growth and emotional well-being. He really enjoys going to school everyday. We cannot thank you enough for all your commitment to our son’s learning journey. ❤️ – Parents of Toh Jun Kye
We are very thankful to the wonderful team at Cherie Hearts @ Charlton. Both our children have been through the centre — our daughter graduated last year and is now doing well in Primary 1, and our son is currently in Nursery and enjoying his time there.
The teachers are caring, patient, and dedicated. They focus not just on academics but also on building confidence, social skills, and independence, which has laid a strong foundation for our daughter’s smooth transition to primary school. The centre also organises engaging activities such as Family Day and Entrepreneur’s Day, creating fun opportunities for children to learn and for parents to be part of their journey.
Thank you for being such an important part of our children’s growing years. We are happy to recommend Cherie Hearts @ Charlton to parents looking for a nurturing and supportive preschool. – Parents of Hannah Yeo and Julien Yeo
I wanted to share a small moment from our home that I feel is the highest compliment to you all. When we told Yik Ching that school was closed tomorrow, his face showed that perfect mix of a child’s excitement for a day off and genuine sadness at missing a day in Cherie Hearts @ Charlton. That moment of sadness is the truest proof we could have of what a wonderful, happy, and engaging place you have created. He doesn’t see school as an obligation, but as a community he loves and looks forward to being a part of each day. Thank you for building such a positive and nurturing environment for our little boy. We are so grateful for you, especially as we celebrate Teacher’s Day. Happy Teacher’s Day! 🌷 – Parents of Wong Yik Ching
