I joined My First Skool at Blk 302B Anchorvale Link in 2018 bringing with me some 10 years of experience in Early Childhood Education. Inspired by a proverb, ‘It takes a big heart to shape a little mind’, my commitment, passion and leadership has inspired my dedicated team of teachers to ensure that learning is supported by a conducive and safe environment where children can explore, experiment, question, acquire knowledge and skills and construct new knowledge. Teachers extend their creativity, professional expertise, talents and skills towards delivering a curriculum that aims to meet the needs of children. We embrace the teaching and learning principle of learning through play and this guides us to make curriculum decisions that promote children’s learning. We are proud recipients of the SPARK accreditation with Commendation in 2020 and the Platinum Tier for Health Promoting Pre-School in 2022. Our centre continues to uphold quality standards in early childhood care and education. We were also awarded several Innovation Grants to improve the quality of our program, teaching-learning practices and foster a culture of innovation and reflective practice amongst teachers. Through these initiatives, teachers were able to explore more innovative ideas and approaches to enhance learning experiences for children, promote community engagement and homecentre partnerships. My team and I motivated to make a difference to each child and look forward to unlocking every child’s door to learning, overcoming challenges a child may encounter and provide the best care and education for every child.
