Being Future-Ready with LOT

Last year, my daughter, Jedidah, graduated from Little Olive Tree Woodlands. At Little Olive Tree, she wasn’t just taught, she was loved, guided, and gently shaped into someone who could see beyond differences.

This year, she started Primary 1. One afternoon, she came home and told me something that completely caught me off guard.

“My favourite ruler broke today. My friend broke it.”

Naturally, I was concerned and asked if she was upset—if she cried.

She simply shook her head and replied with words that melted my heart:

“My friend broke it. He’s just a little special. I just have to give him a little help and more time to adjust.”

In that moment, I knew, with full certainty, that this quiet strength and empathy came from her time at Little Olive Tree. It was there that she had the space to grow, and the time to learn how to love her classmates for who they are, no matter how they behave.

Today, she is proud to serve as her class monitoress. But I know her real leadership journey started long before Primary 1—with teachers who believed in her, in a preschool that nurtured not just her mind, but her heart.

Thank you, Little Olive Tree Woodlands, for planting the seeds of kindness and inclusion. I see them growing in her every day.
