We are very thankful that Michael was able to attend New Life Childcare from N2 to K2. We see our acceptance by New Life Childcare as God’s gracious provision for our family in our difficult situation.
Michael was attending another childcare centre from toddler to N1. Due to his behaviours, he required a lot of attention, patience & perseverance. We searched high and low for another preschool in Bukit Panjang area, but none was available.
When I first called New Life Childcare, I was very encouraged by their warmth and acceptance. We were so grateful that New Life Childcare was willing to accept us knowing the background of our challenges. The first year after we transferred over to New Life was not easy. Michael’s behaviour caused much difficulty for his teachers. However, the principal, Ms Elaine, met with us face-to-face to discuss strategies we could adopt in tandem with the teachers to help Michael. I am also thankful for his teachers’ support: Teacher Sarah’s gentleness and loving care, Lin Lao Shi’s positive and resilient energy, Teacher Rebecca being very understanding and supportive. Never once have we felt that the school has given up on Michael.
To our delight, we gradually saw improvement in Michael’s behaviour as he settled into the school. He has become more conscientious and less aggressive. He is able to use words to communicate better, and is more willing to follow rules. The best part for us is seeing biblical values imparted to him through songs, prayers, Christmas events, and the lives of the persevering teachers.
New Life Childcare has demonstrated big-heartedness and resilience in accepting and integrating a child and family who genuinely needs childcare support. To us ordinary working parents, this is of greater value than academic excellence, fanciful programs and brand prestige. A big Thank You to all the teachers and staff in New Life Childcare! We are grateful for what you do.
