Educational Support Programme
Our Educational Support Programme exists for one reason: for every child who comes through our doors to grow and glow.
Despite the "Programme" in the term, ESP is more than that. Instead, it is a journey and a commitment to walk with the children with additional needs alongside their families while they are with us in our schools.
When it comes to the realm of early intervention, there are strategies, methods and training. But at the heart of it all, there are no magic formulas, no quick fixes and no guaranteed successes. Sometimes, life is just what it is and we desire to walk with families in need as long as we have the opportunity and ability to.
About
"A Place for Every Child" is a fundraising campaign we designed as we are seeking funding support in our endeavor to provide Educational Support Programme for children who need it.
However, this phrase is more than just a catchy slogan. It expresses our lofty desire to provide a place for any and every child who is in need. Our hearts ache whenever families come to us and express their disappointment and dejection, having been turned away from mutiple schools.
We hope to set aside 10% of our enrolment for children with mild to moderate developmental needs so that more children with additional needs can grow and glow alongside their peers. In 2024, we hope to provide spaces for 120 children.
The Unremarkable Stories
In time, Little Olive Tree by Presbyterian Preschool Services hopes to demystify the work that goes on behind the scenes with our children with additional needs. We intend to do this through short anecdotes - "microstories", if you will, of what goes on in our classrooms, what goes with our children and the kind of growth (or lack thereof) that we observe.
