Returning to My First Love When I first came to Singapore, I was a young mother with no friends, no family, and an infant in my arms. Every morning, I would sit in the preschool foyer as my daughter began her first steps into learning. From the sidelines, I noticed the sparkle in children’s eyes, the warmth of their teachers, and the laughter that filled the room. It stirred something in me. One day, the principal asked if I would read a story to the children. I said yes—and

This year’s NDP song " Here We Are"  carries a deeply personal meaning for our Little Olive Tree family — especially for the children, teachers, and leaders of Ang Mo Kio and Bukit Arang.   In 2024, when a sudden fire incident disrupted our AMK centre, Bukit Arang responded not with hesitation, but with hospitality . They opened their doors, hearts, and classrooms — embodying the spirit of koinonia  (fellowship) and the biblical call to carry one another’s burdens. In that ti

At Little Olive Tree Preschools, we believe every child is wonderfully made and uniquely gifted.

From soccer to rollerblading, our little athletes warmed up

It has been about a month since the fire at LOT Ang Mo Kio (AMK) brought about much chaos, stress and inconveniences to our staff, children and family. However, we still remember it like it was yesterday. Despite the initial feelings of shock, panic and loss, it was by God’s grace that we were able to restore the school in just 3 weeks. From start to end, it was really a ‘kampung’ effort that helped us to overcome this adversity. Firstly, it was a teenager sitting at the void
