Blk 295A Compassvale Crescent

I joined My First Skool in 2011 through a leadership programme entitled ‘Grow With Us’. Upon completion of the programme, I was posted to lead My First Skool at Blk 295A, Compassvale Crescent bringing with me 13 years of experience in the Early Childhood field. I am a leader who seeks new learning and in a recent overseas trip to Japan, I was able to widen my perspective and think about different approaches to benefit children. During my 8 years at the centre, we were awarded SPARK Certification in Teaching and Learning Practices in 2016 and we continue to uphold quality standards.

I believe a child’s life is like a blank canvas on which every significant person in their lives can leave an indelible mark. Thus, we aspire to provide a range of experiences for the children so that they can co-construct learning with peers and the teachers.

Teachers plan active learning programs and design creative inquiry-based projects for children. We are a professional learning community intent on developing children in a holistic manner. We have embarked on a few key projects such as Space Re(designing) to look into providing impactful learning zones where children can play and learn in different settings.

In addition, the centre adopted the ‘Mimamoru’ Approach to help children be independent learners, co-existing and contributing as a part of the larger community. Parents are also our partners and we truly appreciate their involvement in centre events and functions which makes learning fun and meaningful for children.
