PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
	
I am an experienced early childhood educator for 7 years in Singapore.  I had experience teaching toddlers to kindergarten 2. I am committed to creating a nurturing and stimulating environment for young learners to thrive. With a passion for fostering social, emotional, and cognitive development in children, I bring creativity and enthusiasm to the classroom every day.
I hold a strong belief in the power of early childhood education and the impact it has on shaping future success. With my dedication to providing age-appropriate activities and curriculum, I aim to support the overall growth and well-being of each child in my care.
As a qualified teacher, I am adept at creating lesson plans, implementing educational programs, and maintaining a safe and inclusive educational setting. I take pride in fostering positive relationships with both children and their families, ensuring open communication and a supportive learning community.

INNOVATION PROJECT
	
Innovation Guidance Project
APRIL 2019 • OCTOBER 2019
This project is titled ‘Fun in Rainbow’ . It aims at creating a platform for children to explore, discover and discuss the occurrence of rainbow. Subsequently, they could reflect  on lessons learnt and share knowledge acquired with peers. First, engaged children in open discussion -hereby they talked and gave their views about how rainbo is formed. Next, children had the opportunity to ewperiment using different materials to create ‘rainbows in indoor explorations and during environmental walk activities. To further deepen the children’s learning and understanding, we visited the Art Science Museum as part of our learning journey and provided a Home learning kit with parents support on their children’s learning. The project helps to sharpen children’s skills in observing, questioning, analysing, as well as making connections and being curious about things around them.
