Smiles and laughter filled the air as colleagues from different preschools and HQ greeted each other at Covenant Evangelical Free Church (Woodlands) for our 3rd Staff Learning Day of the year.

Like all collaborations, it was not a walk in the park, bu

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

On Monday, 5 Feb, the children at LOT Ang Mo Kio (AMK) were so happy to finally return to their newly renovated preschool after almost 2 weeks. However, the renovation works were not done as part of a planned upgrading project.    On the night of 15 January, Yinshuang, Principal of LOT AMK received a call around 9pm from her colleague that shook her to her core.

On Tuesday, most of us kicked off our yearly Christmas celebrations with our PPS HQ Christmas potluck at the Balestier Office! With our move to the new Balestier Office in February this year, it was a blessing to come together in a space that many of us would call a second home.

As it is always said, it takes a village to raise a child, and many of us are thankful for the PPS ‘village’ that their children are able to thrive in. Many of our staff have placed their children in PPS Centres and for good reason – because they trust and know that their children will be loved and well taken care of. Here, we really function just like a family who cares for and supports each other in all seasons of life. Let’s hear what some of our staff have to say about w

An all-girls team from PPS had flown to Jakarta, Indonesia, as volunteers to help train teachers there over three days. The team consisted of Eileen, our Head of English Curriculum, Tracy, our Senior Quality Assurance Specialist, along with Ramona, Centre Leader of Bukit Batok Centre. You may think it was a breeze for them since our Curriculum Team and Centre Leaders are very in touch with teaching material and interacting with educators on the ground. However, it was far fro

In this series of chats with our staff, we get up close and personal. They share about their favourite drinks, to their experiences and motivations at work. Hello! Could you introduce yourself? Hi!
