What Teachers Say 2020

Teaching for me means making a difference for kids. It means also allowing them to pursue their passions, supporting them along the way, and giving students a reason to come to school each day, and having them leave just excited as when they arrived.

经过在SKC的两年工作，让我学到了很多其他老师优异得地方，同时也使我更加的热爱这个像花园一样的学校。

如何与孩子们相处，如何处理好”爱与严厉”的平衡。如何与同事相处，在和善有爱的环境下进行团队合作。如何与家长相处，一切为了孩子的前提下进行积极有效的团队合作。这都是我在乐心儿工作一年多以来，得到的宝贵的经验。

Being an Assistant Teacher to infants means alot to me. The emotional connection I have with the infants is a beautiful experience. It is nice to develop the bond with them, understand their physical needs, intellectual and social-emotional well-being. Watching them achieve milestones as they grow, establish a sense of trust and nurturing responses.

Working at Skool4Kidz means a lot to me. My colleagues are always ready to aid me in my IT issues and I am learning a lot from them. Respecting and understanding one another is key to our teamwork success. It really helped us through this pandemic period.

My fellow Teachers here are helpful and thoughtful towards each other. They are always open to share their experiences and always willing to help.

This year is a hard year for our children, for parents and for teachers. I looked forward to see our little angels after the CB – but was also worried they might not adapt well.
It makes me happy watching our children grow. I hope parents understand how much effort and love we put in “”our”” infant as they need an enormous amount of care and attention to learn and develop appropriately.

My colleagues and I are a family. Through rain and shine, we stay together as a team.

Thank you for everything, Skool4Kidz!

We have great teamwork to get through tough times.

The pandemic was a true learning experience. I appreciate all the help I received from my fellow Teachers and Principal. We got through that difficult part together and we will continue to press on the best we can, together.

Thank you for acknowledging us in tough times.

在乐心儿工作很开心，遇到不懂的同事很热心的帮忙，跟孩子在一起很开心，孩子天真善良，非常可爱哟！

在S4K，作为一名Chinese Teacher，我感到很荣幸。首先，我能提升自己的教学技能，和引导孩子们学习华文，对华语感兴趣; 其次，和我一起工作的同事，年轻，热情，对教育有着极大的热忱，很荣幸能认识他们。最后，在S4K，我会尽我最大的专业能力，贡献我的力量。

幼儿是树，老师是肥料、是泥土、是水、是阳光，可爱的老师们，我们是最棒的！

Together, we foght COVID-19. Together.

I have learnt to accept and face the challenges at work… with a great team.

As an Educarer, I help our young children through their learning journey with us, we achieve and guide our children.

During tough times, my colleagues and I pulled through.

It was a very tough Circuit Breaker. Coming back to work was not easy as there were the social distancing measures and the need to wear masks all day. Skool4Kidz and my fellow Teachers remained resilient through these tough times, pressing through the challenges with all of us Teachers.

Working with children is very challenging but good teachers and a great environment makes a difference.

Teaching is meaningful. The real reward in this is when you see your children learn and progress. On top of that, being able to work in a centre full of teachers with various experience, has helped me broaden my knowledge and skills as a teacher. My fellow Teachers are helpful and resourceful and they do not mind sharing their experience with each other. As Teachers, we lend a helping hand to each other all the time. Work has been wonderful and fruitful.

It’s been a journey with the school – one which has imparted much knowledge and wisdom. The fellow Teachers in the school have truly risen above the storm to battle the Covid 19 pandemic. And in these challenging times, we realise that teamwork truly plays an important role in overcoming challenges. Thank you Teachers for the courage and endless sacrifice.

Teaching is a two way street here in Skool4Kidz. I have learnt so much from the children in various aspects including character development. They have become my pride and joy. The children make it fulfilling for me to turn up for work everyday.

My colleagues have become my friends. We work together each day with zest to provide the best for our children always, all ways.

We are like a big family, working together to take care of our children.

I am happy to work in Skool4Kidz TPGL.
I feel grateful to have such a good team. Especially my Beebies Team!
I thank you so much for you trust in me. You are not only colleagues, all of you meab a lot to me. Thank you my dear team mates! Happy Teachers’ Day ❤️

To my fellow team in the Beebies class, thank you for the great teamwork. A small gesture daily plays a big part in our daily life i.e. the power of a smile in the morning, a listening ear, an honest compliment or the smallest act of caring is very meaningful to each of us. Thank you, team.

My role as an assistant teacher is mainly to support the role of the main teacher. Where assistance is required, I will need to be present so that the main teacher will be able to conduct the lessons smoothly.
This is what makes my experience in S4K enriching! As colleagues, we get to work together to ensure that we provide the best education experience for the child! 😇

An inclusive and nurturing environment that drives me to workmy best. Everyday is different yet full of memorable, insightful experiences to remember.

转眼间，我在乐心儿TPGL校区已经工作快四年的时间了。我和班级里可爱的孩子们共同学习、进步、玩耍、活动……

在校长、同事、家长们的理解配合以及公司开展的各种培训课程的帮助下我也一直在完善自己的工作能力和学习掌握先进的教学方法。

每一天看着孩子们的细微进步，回首过去感受到自己的成长，展望未来看见乐心儿学校的美好前景。觉得人生的意义、社会的进步，就应当像孩子的好奇心一样永远不满足、一直在挑战、自然努力的寻求更好的自己。

教师节即将来临，祝每一位老师节日快乐，平安喜乐。尤其是今年面对疫情下的坚持和坚守、创造和挑战，我们都应该对自己说一句“辛苦了，真棒！”

最后，我对每一位老师最真挚的期盼就是要学会“爱”。在幼教的琐碎工作中感受到爱点力量。爱自己、爱孩子、爱生活、爱充满未知的未来。

大家，教师节快乐！

在2020年冠病疫情期间，老师们都很积极响应总部的方针策略，积极做好老师的工作。尤其在网课上，老师们（也就是我们）都很积极地给孩子们备课，为的是让孩子们在阻断期间也能跟自己的老师有所沟通和联系，这样使师生间的关系更密切，不会因为两个月没有见面而产生陌生感！

Why I chose to be a Teacher is because I love childre . I want to be their role model. I want them to remember me when they grow older.

Everyone here works together as a team! Happy Teachers = Happy children :)

Skool4Kidz is where I began my teaching career. From a part-timer with no experience, to a Place-n-Train staff to a Full-Time Infant Educarer now.

Throughout my journey, I saw the different environments in different centres, different Principals achieving in their own centres, colleagues from all walks of life, of all ages and many races and nationalities.

Happy Teachers’ Day and thank you, everyone!!

As a new teacher, I had struggles im adapting into a new environment. But the teachers offered me their help without me asking and helped me in so many different ways. They even gave me advice on how to become a better teacher. My Principal and fellow Teachers are constantly asked how I am coping with work and I feel grateful knowing that they care.

我体会最深的是：在居家工作期间，经历了从开始对网课感到紧张到后来的从容，虽然与孩子们隔着屏幕，但与他们的感情更近了。当时每天进行网课，准备课件工作量大，现在回想起来，也是很有收获，不仅工作技能得到提升，每天与孩子互动，当孩子重新开学的时候也能很快就适应了学校的生活。

My colleagues with whom I am currently working as a team, show care and concern towards me. Whenever I am busy, they voluntarily help me. They even tell me to rest for awhile before continuing with the work.

We share opinions and ideas when making some decisions with regards to our children’s well-being.

Both my cluster Principal and Principal are approachable when I need some advice on work matters.

My colleagues and I share laughter… and food amongst us. We try to share problems and solve it between us. We help each other upgrade and work together as a team, tap into every Teacher’s strength. Every child deserves good quality learning which requires team work and positivity from us Teachers.

Working in Skool4Kidz has taught me a lot about teamwork. As my centre is quite big, we cooperate and work together with one another to accomplish different tasks as teachers. I especially enjoy working here with very helpful colleagues who don’t mind going the extra mile for each other. I have also learnt new skills here that would be beneficial for me in the long run. Special thanks to Ms Yvette and Ms Vasandy for guiding and always believing in us.

Working at Skool4Kidz is fruitful as colleagues are helpful. I enjoy the teamwork.

Skool4Kidz gave me the opportunity to teach here in Singapore. My Skool4Kidz @ Tampines GreenRidges honed my skills as a teacher.

My colleagues are helpful, and I love coming to work to see the smiling faces of our children.

I have received unwavering kindness and support from my fellow colleagues. I have been enjoying my time here so far, while being able to learn. Despite being a ‘newbie’, thanks to my colleagues, they have been constantly inspiring me to improve myself every day. Thank you, teachers!

新型冠状病毒疫情2020年在全球蔓延，打乱了每一个人的生活步调和生活规律。新加坡4月8日开始实行一系列阻断措施，学校也被迫停课。Skool4kidz对此迅速做出正确的应对反应，老师开始居家通过zoom给幼儿上网课。通过zoom上网课对每个老师来说都是前所未有的，但面对新的挑战，没有老师退缩，每位老师都表现出勇敢、坚毅、乐观和与时俱进的精神。那段时间虽然我们面对压力和挑战，但是我们也在当中学习到了许多新的知识，并发挥了同事之间互助精神。比如上网课时间我的电脑坏了，Tr.Irah把她的一台备用电脑借给我，总之，不平凡的日子给我们留下了不平凡的回忆，Skool4kidz，继续加油！

我们在一起，相互帮助，相互学习！

I am happy working with my colleagues . We look out for each other and make sure the babies are safe and cared for by all.

By helping other colleagues and understanding other colleagues.

Teaching children is an accomplishment, getting children excited about learning is an achievement.

I like working with the team that believes in teamwork and colleagues who have the best interests for the child in mind.

在家隔离这段期间，需要网上打卡， 感受到了大家的团结。

I enjoy work. My colleagues help each other. We share our ideas and opinions with regards to our children’s well-being.

I enjoy working here because everyone is welcoming and always willing to teach me. As a fresh graduate, I have a lot to learn. And I am thankful that I have my colleagues to guide me to be a better teacher.

Growing together with the team at Skool4Kidz @ Woodlands Crescent Meadow. I have a good mentor and great colleagues, I have become a better individual and a more passionate teacher!

Skool4Kidz gives me the opportunity to learn and grow.

My colleagues and I will always share information with one another regarding our children. I have learned that teamwork is very important in this industry.

My colleagues help me understand the things that I am new to. We share our thoughts, concerns and ideas. We grow as a team and one centre together! 👏🏻👏🏻

我觉得这是一份非常有意义的工作。看着孩子们的成长我感到非常欣慰，尤其是看着他们从小豆豆班到现在的小小班，孩子们的变化太多了。很高兴能够参与到他们成长的过程中。虽然陪着他们玩一整天会很累，但是当我看到他们开心的笑着你会觉得这一切都是值得的。我希望在接下来的日子里，我和孩子们能够一起成长。

Working with children is enriching and meaningful. Children are our next generation Skool4Kidz has provided teachers the necessary training, equipped us with the skills and knowledge to enhance our potential in EC.

I am grateful to have my loving colleagues here with me at WLCM. It has been a great journey together with them as we started out as Place & train Teachers together and are moving up the ladder as Teachers on the ‘High Potential’ now. We can rely on each other and help each in other in times of doubt and need.

For the past 7 years, working with young lives gave me nothing but absolute joy. Young lives are the most precious ones. Imparting knowledge to them gives me the satisfaction which I dont get anywhere.

Skool4Kidz is the longest organisation I’ve worked for. This school gave me opportunities to learn and grow as an educarer. Thank you, Skool4Kidz! I will continue to give my best for the upcoming years.

My colleagues always give me a helping hand whenever I’m in need.

As I embarked on my journey to be an N1 Teacher for the first time after 3 years of being PlayGroup Teacher, it was undeniably a roller coaster ride. It was a culture shock for me, having to learn about the N1 Curriculum and to implement it. In addition, we were greeted by the current pandemic. It was no easy feat for all of us Teachers and parents. Nonetheless, we made it through Home-based Learning. I would like to express my gratitude to the people who braved through this challenging period. My precious family, friends, colleagues, not forgetting our parents and children, with their kind support, understanding and cooperation, I am more motivated to believe in myself and keep on striving to be the best for our children.
