In May 2024, Crestar Education Group (CEG) sent 68 of its cluster and centre leaders from its four preschool brands – Kinderland, ELFA, NurtureStars and Skool4Kidz for a retreat in Penang. The retreat aimed to facilitate knowledge and positive practice sharing, strengthen bonds between brands and recharge our leaders to boost them in their daily responsibilities.
Our Skool4Kidz’ leaders are all smiles for this group shot at the retreat.
Held in Georgetown, Penang, the theme of the retreat was “Cultivating Excellence, Elevating Wellness”. Indeed, the wellbeing of our staff play a key role in empowering them to strive for excellence for their preschools back home.

The workshops equipped our centre leaders with the tools required to protect and improve their wellbeing levels while balancing their responsibilities in their centres. At the same time, it provided tips for centre leaders on personal representation as a key component of communication and branding to their team, parents and children. Lastly, it reinforced the service excellence standards of CEG along with pointers on how centre leaders can utilise them to serve those under their care.

Centre leaders also enjoyed a creative art bonding session, lively “Cookies Challenge,” and a sure-win lucky draw. Fun, relaxing and insightful, it helped to imbue a strong sense of camaraderie and spirit for learning and excellence.

We would like to thank our leaders in embracing and sharing their knowledge and experience with their peers during this retreat. We look forward to our leaders bringing these newly learnt insights in their centres.
“I had a wonderful time sharing and learning with other senior educators from the CEG group. We talked, shared and cheered one another like friends. The emphasis on mental well-being and professional outlook are both crucial and it reminds me that I will need to look after these 2 areas for myself and my team of teachers.” – Ms Jean Lim Yun Jing, Principal of Skool4Kidz Preschool @ Hougang Buangkok Square.
“The Leaders’ Retreat in Penang provided me an opportunity to interact and bond with leaders from other preschools and campuses. Friendships, memories and bonds were forged during this retreat; and I am thankful for the opportunity.” – Ms Christina Chan, Centre Leader.
