第二届“小小橄榄树”华语故事大赛，在家长和老师们的掌声中圆满落下了帷幕，整个活动温馨而感动。 举办这个活动，首要目标在于帮助幼儿更加热爱华语，勇于自信地开口表达。 很开心看到幼儿们在台上发光的小模样，特别是那些非华族幼儿字正腔圆地用华语讲述自己和新加坡的故事。 最让我们惊喜的是幼儿们在这个过程中的成长，从最初的紧张，不敢面对观众，到后来能够落落大方地站在舞台上，声情并茂地讲完自己的故事。这份勇敢和自信，是他们这次比赛中最闪亮的收获。 颁奖典礼那天，出席了170 位家长，他们的掌声和欢呼声是孩子们最大的鼓励。每一 个幼儿都骄傲地走上舞台，领取属于自己的那份荣誉。 我们相信，那个瞬间不仅定格在照片里，更是深深印在幼儿们的心里，成为他们继续热爱华文的动力。 这次活动，就像一条纽带，把19间小小橄榄树幼儿园的老师和幼儿们连接在一起， 也让家长们更深入地了解了“小小橄榄树”对华语教育的热诚。看到幼儿们因为这 次经历而更爱说华语，华文团队备受鼓舞。 第二届故事大赛圆满结束了，但幼儿们爱上华文，自信表达的故事，才刚刚开始….. 下

On October 2nd, P51 came alive with laughter, joy, and childlike wonder as we celebrated Children’s Day. A special occasion not just for our children, but for everyone who treasures the beauty of childlike faith and the magic of childhood. The day began with a burst of colour and creativity as our little ones arrived dressed as their favourite storybook characters. From princesses and superheroes to explorers and animals, each child proudly stepped into the shoes of their he

On Saturday, Little Olive Tree (Woodlands) had the wonderful opportunity to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together with Woodlands Evangelical Free Church (WEFC). The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Mooncake Festival, is a time for reunion, thanksgiving, and togetherness. This year’s celebration was made extra meaningful as we gathered not just as families, but as a wider community. The morning was filled with warmth and excitement as parents, children, and church m

LOT Bethany came alive with festive cheer as children, parents, and grandparents gathered for our Intergenerational Mid-Autumn Festival celebration. The afternoon overflowed with warmth and togetherness—a vivid reflection of family, tradition, and the vibrant community we hold dear. Weeks of careful planning and preparation went into every detail. Our teachers and staff poured heart and creativity into the activities, knowing that the true reward would come not just from the

I have been pondering deeply about our purpose as an early childhood service in Singapore—a nation where parents are truly spoilt for choice.

I found my answer by understanding why education itself holds such weight in our nation’s heart and future. Why Education Matters So Deeply t

As a photographer, I often find myself quietly observing life as it unfolds, capturing fleeting expressions, small gestures, and the little stories that tell something much bigger about who we are. Recently, at Little Olive Tree Ghim Moh, I witnessed a moment that struck me deeply. The K2 children were at the playground that day, running about joyfully. Their voices carried far, perhaps louder than usual, as they tried to speak and play above the constant hum of nearby cons

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
