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.

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? The World Health Organisation (WHO

It was an ordinary day, but the precinct of Tampines block 432 was particularly noisy. If one didn’t pay close attention, one would think the children have all run amok and the teachers have lost control. The source of the din, though, was a series of activities that’s being carried out all at the same time! Another clue as to what the children might be doing was also a stunning display of paper mache world globes and eggshell planter pots. It doesn’t take long for one to rea
