Wisma Geylang Serai

“It takes a big heart to shape little minds”. I believe that it takes a special heart with passion to nurture our little ones. I want to be a part of their life providing them with opportunities and experiences to ‘grow’ as much as they can. I made the decision to join the Diploma in Early Childhood Education at Ngee Ann Polytechnic in 1999. I began my journey as a teacher, senior teacher and subsequently, principal in My First Skool. Currently, I hold a Bachelor of Early Childhood Education with Management from the Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS).

Presently, I am leading the newly opened My First Skool, located in Wisma Geylang Serai. The environment of the centre is specially designed, based on and reflecting the ‘kampung’ concept to enable our young children to know and appreciate our rich heritage.

Our curriculum includes the MFS Malay Language programme. It aims to develop children’s interests in the language, be aware and appreciative of the Malay culture, tradition and heritage. We are also poised to be a showcase centre for the learning of Malay Language and Heritage for the My First Skool network. At this unique location, we also partner NTUC Health Silver Circle Senior Care Centre for our Inter-Generational Programme.

I like the quote by John C. Maxwell, “Leaders must be close enough to relate to others, but far enough ahead to motivate them.” Leading a newly established centre, I am cheering for my team to excel together with me in this exciting journey.
