Novena sits on a stretch of Thomson Road dense with medical suites, malls, and a fair number of tuition centres tucked into United Square, Goldhill Plaza, and Square 2. Several of them run Chinese enrichment programmes for preschoolers, aimed at getting young children comfortable with the language before Primary 1 starts.
We swept every listing on tuitioncentres.sg categorised under “Novena” and kept every one that teaches Preschool Chinese. That gave us 6 centres — a real count, not rounded up or padded out.
