Ngee Ann Polytechnic
During my course of study in Early Childhood Education, I have gained skills and knowledge through modules taken to be a professional preschool educator in Singapore.
Some modules included:
-
Curriculum Planning and Design
-
Developing School-Family-Community Partnership
-
Drama in Pre-School Education
-
Learning Environment and Classroom Management
-
Psychology of Exceptional Children
-
Teaching Literacy to Diverse Learners
I learnt many useful positive communication strategies and techniques for teaching young children. For example, being specific, descriptive and focus on the small steps of improvements when praising children for their efforts. I managed to apply the knowledge acquired in my practicums and internship experience. This resulted in children feeling more motivated in wanting to learn and allowed me to build better relationships with them.

As a Module Representative, I learnt to be responsible for communicating with my lecturer and classmates. Some of my responsibilities included ensuring information were passed down correctly to my classmates and being the point of contact between my lecturer and classmates.

NP LEO CLUB
2019 - Present
Being a part of a Community Service Club in Ngee Ann Polytechnic provided me with many opportunities to contribute and give back to the local, national and international community.
Some participated events included:
-
Flag Day event for Lions Home for the Elders (August 2019)
-
Plastic-less event @ Westgate (July 2019)
-
Blossom Home Refresh event (June 2019)
Apart from juggling with school and a part-time job outside, I still volunteered to participate in events that were organised by NP LEO CLUB. Even though it can be hectic, I have honed my time management skills as I had to balance and ensured I have sufficient time for both academic and leisure time. All these events enabled me to find new interests and connect with people who share similar interest.
