I love being the Principal of Busy Bees Kindergarten! My priority is providing a nurturing, inspiring, and safe environment for all our students. I believe that education at the kindergarten level should focus on holistic growth, encompassing habit formation alongside the development of foundational academic, social, emotional, and physical skills. I recognise and respect that each child will learn and grow in different ways and at different paces. I also strongly believe in learning through fun, play, and creative expression. I want our students to grow into cheerful, confident, and broad-minded explorers. By creating a loving and inclusive learning atmosphere, I hope all our students develop a passion for learning all subjects, including Putonghua, regardless of their language background. I am so grateful for the wonderful community that Busy Bees is part of. I especially value the participation and contributions of our students' families in the children’s development.

I am so happy to be teaching at Busy Bees Kindergarten. The school has a wonderful play-based learning philosophy that encourages our students to use their imagination and to develop independence and problem-solving skills. As the English teacher, my goal is to help all our students grow in confidence as English speakers. By using English in all my interactions with students, I aim to help them become familiar with the language and steadily expand their vocabulary. It brings me so much joy to see students improve their English speaking skills and develop a love of reading and writing.
