Spirits soared high as over 200 staff from various centres and HQ arrived for PPS Learning Day: The Art of Learning in unique and quirky outfits with vibrant pops of colour. Some were particularly early as they were excited to catch up with those they had not seen in a while. After all, this was the very first time in over two years since the pandemic hit that the entire PPS family was gathering in one place! Some staff expressed their positive feelings about meeting each

On 27 to 29 May, Presbyterian Preschool Services participated in the Creation C.A.R.E. 3D Public Art Showcase at Orchard Central’s Atrium. The artwork displayed were a labour of love by our children and their teachers advocating for creation care. We were also joined by 11 other preschools for this showcase that was supported by Far East Organisation and Creation Care SG . Leading up to this event, the children learnt about why creation care matters. Other than preserving a

Some of us may remember a Chinese song that was released in 1989 titled “ 甜蜜的家庭 ” ( My Sweet Family). The song sings of how lovely the family is - clean and comfortable, siblings living together in harmony and parents that are kind and loving. ​我的家庭真可愛 整洁美滿又安康 姊妹兄弟很和氣 父亲母亲都慈祥 虽然沒有好花园 春兰秋桂常飘香 虽然沒有大厅堂 冬天溫暖夏天涼 可愛的家庭呀 我不能离开你 你的恩惠比天长 ​My family is so lovely It’s clean, we are happy and in good health Our siblings live harmoniously Parents are kind and loving Even though we do no

Curious faces and fingers being pointed excitedly at cute little crabs and turtles were a common sight at Central Public Library in the last week of April. Not real ones of course - a whole underwater world including ocean and sea animals, corals and more was created by the little but nimble hands of preschool children! Children from Presbyterian Preschool Services had collected materials such as used plastic bottles, cardboards, straws, cups an d newspapers to create impress

Laughter, big smiles and wishes of “Happy Birthday” were in abundance during Learning Day last Friday. Other than being a centre-closure day for a time for rest, reflection, fun, and bonding, 1 April 2022 also marked our “hatch” day - the first official day of Presbyterian Preschool Services (PPS) being our own entity, separate from Presbyterian Community Services (PCS). To warm ourselves up for the day’s activities, all centres joined in to do the “Chicken Dance” led by the

Michelle Soberano was the newest “kid” on the block. She joined us in January after her previous centre closed down.

A teacher can teach skills and impart knowledge but without love, may not make a difference in the child’s life.

Meet Teacher Agnes, with 25 years at PPS, she makes for our longest-serving teacher!

How did we handle the Omicron outbreak while staff were down? We reached out to our HQ staff to help out at the centres.

Presbyterian Community Services (PCS) and Presbyterian Preschool Services (PPS) held their combined Dedication Service on 22 January 2022.

My hope for a family Chinese New Year reunion was dashed in 2020. I had to wait for more than 2 years to celebrate it again with my father.

Even though it seems right to start things afresh at the start of a new year, it shouldn’t just be the sole reason why I should be...

What is the meaning of Christmas? Surely Christmas is about Baby Jesus! But why is Santa Claus featured a lot more prominently?

This is what Ms A. Susila has been doing for the past 34 years, working in early childhood education and helping children with special needs reach their own “Ah-ha!” moment. That moment happens when a child is able to spontaneously carry out a task that he/she was taught previously or make an appropriate response to a situation when before that, this child had never spoken before. Susila is the recipient of the inaugural Outstanding/Promising Early Intervention Professional

Our inaugural Project Good Sam in 2021 has happily come to an end! All our 11 Centres participated in this community service project held from March to September 2021. A total of 630 children contributed 17,000 hours of their time to this good cause. They also rallied 380 parent and alumni volunteers to support this endeavour. Collectively, they prepared 400 gift packs for the elderly and raised $10,000 for Dorcas Home Care Service. This was no mean feat especially with the C

Parents, Grandparents - They are the significant people who shape the way we think, feel and what we believe in. On the 4th of June, we would like to mark it as a day to remember and express thanks to our parents, grandparents, and those who have been the parent figures in our lives. Here's a simple 3D Heart Origami Craft Activity that you and your children can do to show your appreciation to these special loved ones. You can download this template and watch this instructiona

A few weeks ago, our children had an exciting architecture and design experience!

As part of Start Small Dream Big , all our 11 centres are participating in Project Good Sam , a nationwide initiative, teaching preschool children how to love others, especially those in need. Most of our centres will be preparing and distributing gift packs to the elderly beneficiaries of our parent organisation, Presbyterian Community Services (PCS).

This week, we read about how the children at PCS Tampines Centre learnt to care for Earth, that is God’s creation, as a family. We also learnt that the children in PCS Pasir Ris 51 breathed new life into materials that would otherwise be discarded. Today, our spotlight turns to PCS Yishun Centre, where the teachers planned activities to demonstrate to the children there is an urgent need to care for our world. The Earth: What’s the Solution?
