Last Saturday, we gathered once again for the Teachers’ Dedication Service organised by the Christian Preschool Alliance. This was our eighth year holding the service. Every year, as we approach this event, the same question seems to surface: Should we continue doing this? There are always so many competing demands. Everyone is busy. There are urgent matters in our own organisations that need attention. And sometimes, it can be discouraging when something we believe is import

At Little Olive Tree, meaningful learning begins with seeing, listening and responding to children. A recent visit by Chinese language and early childhood education specialists gave us an opportunity to reflect on how these principles come alive in our classrooms. On 14 August 2026, just one day before the Singapore Chinese Language Seminar 2026, Little Olive Tree Holland Village had the privilege of welcoming a distinguished group of Chinese language and early childhood educ

What happens when educators come together with a shared belief that every child deserves to belong? At Little Olive Tree Ghim Moh, we recently welcomed educators from Farrer Park Primary School (MOE Kindergarten) for a professional learning journey centred on inclusive education. It was not just about sharing what we do. It was about working together, exchanging ideas and seeing inclusion from different perspectives. This is also why we value opportunities for our own educat

What if a preschool did not need to be big to offer children a big experience?

Our recent Sports Day, held alongside our National Day celebration, was one of those moments. It was a morning filled with movement, laughter, encouragement and celebration. But beyond the games and activities, there was something else that made the day special: many different people came together to make it possible. Our preschool staf

National Day is more than a celebration of Singapore's birthday. For young children, it can be an opportunity to experience belonging, gratitude, community and togetherness through simple, meaningful activities. At Little Olive Tree Yishun, this year's National Day celebration brought children, parents, teachers and seniors together through art, music, movement, friendship and acts of appreciation. From an Infant class tent-painting activity with parents to classroom celebrat

Choosing a preschool is about more than finding a place where children learn letters, numbers and new skills. It is about finding a community where children feel safe, families feel welcomed and meaningful relationships are built. A strong preschool community gives children a sense of belonging from an early age. It creates opportunities for families, educators and neighbours to connect, support one another and celebrate milestones together. These relationships become the fou

Over the past few Saturdays, we had the joy of welcoming many families to our July Open Houses across our Little Olive Tree centres. To every parent, grandparent, and child who walked through our doors "Thank you". Thank you for taking the time to explore our learning spaces, meet our educators, ask thoughtful questions, and allow us to share a little of who we are. Choosing a preschool is one of the first significant decisions you'll make for your child. It can feel excitin
