Our Story

MERCU Learning Point is an education organisation dedicated to supporting children’s growth and development through quality care, enrichment, and educational programmes. Over the years, we have built a diverse portfolio of initiatives serving children across different age groups and learning needs.

Our journey has included the establishment and management of student care, kindergarten care, preschool, and enrichment programmes that have positively impacted families and communities across Singapore.

Among our notable initiatives were Whee! Canopus Student Care centres, which supported Primary 1 to Primary 6 students through values-based programmes designed to complement the school’s ethos and nurture confident, responsible learners.

In 2019, we expanded our offerings with Kindergarten Care (KCare), providing Kindergarten 1 and Kindergarten 2 children with a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where they could play, explore, and discover.

MERCU’s early childhood journey also included the operation of A Star Childcare Centre and Clover Preschool, where children experienced holistic, child-centred programmes focused on building strong foundations for lifelong learning.

Complementing our care and education services is Stellar Champs, our enrichment division, which delivers a range of specialised programmes in areas such as speech and drama, arts, robotics, languages, and school readiness. Through Stellar Champs, we continue to inspire curiosity, creativity, confidence, and a love for learning in every child.

Today, our experience across these diverse educational initiatives reflects MERCU Learning Point’s enduring commitment to empowering children and supporting families through meaningful learning experiences.
