Enrichment
Pr
grammes
At Cicasa Playspace, enrichment is not a nice-to-have — it’s the heart of what we do.
Our enrichment programmes are designed to go beyond the classroom, giving children hands-on, play-based experiences that build real skills in language, literacy, numeracy, and cultural understanding. Every programme is thoughtfully crafted, taught in small groups, and delivered with the warmth and intentionality that defines everything we do.
LogicLingo
Phonics & Maths Play
Two of the most critical foundations in a child’s early education — language and numeracy — come alive in this unique combined programme.
LogicLingo is Cicasa’s English Phonics and Mathematics enrichment, designed for children who are building early literacy and numeracy skills simultaneously. Using manipulatives, letter tiles, play dough, pattern blocks, and structured games, children develop a deep and playful understanding of how words and numbers work.
This is not worksheets and drills. This is learning through doing — and it sticks.
What children learn:
- Letter sounds recognition
- Blending sounds to read words
- Decoding and encoding to read and write
- Fitzroy Readers (structured reading programme)
- Alternative spelling and phonics rules
- Primary creative writing, grammar, syntax, and parts of speech
What children learn:
- Basic and complex shapes
- Colours and patterning
- Addition and subtraction
- Number bonds
- Skip counting
- Story sums and problem solving
- Sequencing and graphs
- Measurement concepts
- Place values and understanding money
Ci-Fonik
Bahasa Melayu Phonics — Fonik Menarik
Learning to read Bahasa Melayu is a milestone every Malay-speaking child deserves to reach with confidence — and a little magic along the way.
Ci-Fonik is Cicasa’s Bahasa Melayu phonics programme, built around the belief that the best way to learn a language is through discovery, not drilling. Children work with tactile materials, letter cards, sensory trays, and playful activities to learn how sounds and letters come together in Bahasa Melayu.
It’s phonics — made menarik (interesting).
What children learn
- Recognising and pronouncing individual letters (menyebut huruf)
- Reading consonant-vowel syllables — suku kata KV
- Reading combined syllable patterns — gabungan suku kata (V+KV)
- Identifying and using vowel sounds — huruf vokal
- Writing syllables and simple words
- Sounding out vowel letters and blending them fluently
Chi-Read
Mandarin Tuition — Mandarin Magic
Mandarin is one of the most powerful languages a child can grow up with — and at Cicasa, we make sure the journey to fluency feels like an adventure, not a chore.
Chi-Read is our play-based Mandarin tuition programme, designed to build genuine language skills through storytelling, songs, games, and tactile exploration. Children trace characters in sand, sort colourful flashcards, build words with blocks, and sing their way into confidence.
We don’t just teach Mandarin — we make children fall in love with it.
What children learn
- Speak with confidence in everyday Mandarin
- Recognise and read Chinese characters
- Master basic strokes and character formation
- Play through storytelling and imaginative scenarios
- Sing Mandarin songs joyfully and expressively
Glow Lab
Weekend Workshops & Holiday Camps — Light, Shadow & STEM Art
Step into a world where science meets art — and everything glows.
Glow Lab is our signature workshop experience, offered on weekends and during school holidays. Children are immersed in hands-on, sensory-rich activities that combine light play, shadow exploration, and glow-in-the-dark STEM art to spark imagination, creativity, and early scientific thinking.
These sessions are not just fun — they’re purposefully designed to develop cognitive skills, aesthetic sensibility, and a sense of wonder that stays with children long after they leave.
Saturdays at 10am and 2pm Weekend workshops and holiday camp sessions available throughout the year.
What children learn
- Light and shadow exploration
- Glow-in-the-dark STEM art creation
- Sensory and process-based art activities
- Immersive, curiosity-driven learning experiences
- Cognitive and aesthetic development through play
Arabic Play
Play-Based Arabic
Arabic doesn’t have to feel like a subject. At Cicasa, we make it feel like play.
Arabic Play is our signature programme that uses a brain gym approach to bring the Arabic language to life for young children. Through movement, sensory materials, clay, tiles, and hands-on activities, children explore Arabic letters, sounds, and conversation in a joyful, low-pressure environment.
Sessions are kept intentionally small — a 1:3 teacher-to-child ratio — so every child gets the individual attention they need to grow in confidence.
Weekly on Wednesdays, 4pm–8pm, or Saturdays, 11am–3pm (1 hour per session | Low ratio: 1:3 per session)
What children learn
- Everyday Arabic vocabulary for real-life situations
- Basic Arabic greetings and common expressions
- Simple Arabic conversations, practised with confidence
- Exposure to Arabic language and culture
- Memorisation of daily du’as and basic surahs
3D-Printing YoungMaker Class
From Beginner to Creator — In Just 2 Days
What if your child could design something on a screen and hold it in their hands by the end of the week? With 3D printing, they can.
This workshop introduces children to the exciting world of 3D modelling and printing — using TinkerCAD to design their own creations, understand how digital designs become real objects, and bring home something they built themselves.
It’s hands-on, creative, and genuinely empowering.
Programme Objectives
- Environmental awareness through recycling
- Creative exploration with 3D printing
- Parent-child bonding through learning
1 or 2 days | Group size: 10–30 participants Pricing subject to activity requirements
What children experience
- Children learn basic 3D modelling techniques using TinkerCAD and design their own digital creations — ready to be brought to life through printing.
- Children explore basic print settings and optimisation, and watch their designs transform from screen to object.
- Every child takes home a custom 3D printed piece — coasters, vehicles, landmarks, and more.
Parent & Child Sustainability Weekend Special
From Beginner to Creator — In Just 2 Days
Some of the best learning happens side by side. This weekend workshop brings parents and children together through hands-on sustainability activities — exploring the plastic recycling journey, creating with 3D pens, and transforming recycled materials into meaningful keepsakes to bring home.
It’s part STEM, part art, and all heart.
Programme Objectives
- Promote sustainability awareness and plastic upcycling
- Encourage hands-on creativity
- Exposure to STEM education
Saturdays & Sundays, 1:30pm–3:30pm $20 per participant | Group size: 10–20 participants Recommended age: 5 years and above

- Every participant receives a complimentary 3D printed gift and takes home their own 3D pen creation made from recycled plastics.
- Hands-on creations and a deeper understanding of sustainability
- Complimentary trial of 3D Design Exploration using TinkerCAD — bring your own laptop or iPad. Optional Add-on
Abacus & Mental Arithmetic Training
Numbers are not just something children memorise — they’re something children can feel, see, and manipulate. Our Abacus and Mental Arithmetic programme trains children to visualise and calculate with speed, accuracy, and confidence.
Through the ancient tool of the abacus, children develop a deep intuition for numbers that lays the groundwork for strong mathematical thinking in primary school and beyond. With consistent practice, many children progress to mental arithmetic — performing calculations in their heads with remarkable ease.
What children learn:
- Numerical fluency and number sense
- Concentration and mental focus
- Speed and accuracy in calculation
- Left and right brain coordination
- Confidence in mathematics
Coding Programmes
The world our children are growing up in runs on code — and we believe the earlier they start thinking computationally, the more confident and capable they become.
Our Coding Programme introduces children to the fundamentals of logical thinking, sequencing, and computational problem-solving through age-appropriate, hands-on activities. From unplugged coding games to beginner block-based programming, children build skills that translate directly into the digital world — and the classroom.
What children learn:
- Logical and sequential thinking
- Problem-solving and debugging skills
- Creativity through technology
- Confidence with digital tools
- Foundations for STEM learning
