At the heart of Siem Reap’s early education landscape is SHINE – Singapore Helm Institute of Education, where learning is as fun as it is meaningful. Their Early Years Centre has embraced a hands-on, play-based approach that is making a big impact on how young children engage with foundational concepts.

In a recent session, SHINE’s young learners explored the difference between “big” and “small” using interactive games and group activities. Guided by enthusiastic educators, children participated in visual and physical comparisons that helped build early math and language skills—while having a blast.

Big and Small: A Fun Introduction to Early Concepts

At SHINE, abstract ideas like size and scale are made concrete through movement, storytelling, and exploration. In this particular activity, children used balls of various sizes and engaged in turn-taking games, helping them understand spatial relationships, comparative language, and basic classification—all essential for cognitive development.

The goal of these lessons isn’t just academic. They also enhance:

  • Listening and attention skills

  • Fine and gross motor coordination

  • Social interaction and cooperation

  • Confidence and verbal expression

The SHINE Philosophy: Education That Inspires

What sets SHINE apart is their belief that children learn best when they are engaged, curious, and supported in a nurturing environment. Their Early Years Centre in Siem Reap is a bright, cheerful space where children feel safe to explore and express themselves.

Every learning moment is intentionally crafted to stimulate young minds while promoting joy and connection. From sensory materials to circle-time games, SHINE uses international best practices in early childhood education while remaining grounded in the local culture and context.
