On May 21, 2025, the NCDC and DOrSU-Preschool family once again came together to celebrate a beautiful day of achievements during the Recognition Program for our Nursery learners and Kinder 1 pupils. It was a day filled with smiles, music, and meaningful moments that honored the progress and efforts of our young learners throughout the school year.

The morning program was dedicated to our Nursery learners, whose first steps into the world of schooling were met with play, discovery, and wonder. Their simple yet sincere performances and recognition moments brought pride and joy to their families, as they stood tall and proud on stage, many for the first time.

In the afternoon, the spotlight shifted to our Kinder 1 pupils, who showed just how far they’ve come in developing their confidence, communication, and sense of responsibility. From lively presentations to award recognitions, each child was celebrated for their unique strengths and joyful growth.

DOrSU-Preschool Fire Drill 2025 | SUCCESSFULLY CONDUCTED

On May 16, 2025, the DOrSU-Preschool held its Preschool Fire Drill at the DOrSU Student Center. This activity was designed to equip Kindergarten 2 learners with basic knowledge and practical skills in responding to fire emergencies.

The event was conducted in sessions, with each group going through three key components:
Orientation on fire safety procedures, a demonstration of emergency techniques, and a simulated fire drill where learners practiced calm and orderly evacuation.

Guiding the sessions were fire safety personnel SFO2 Primo III R. Jabilles, FO1 Honey Mae E. Paramio, FO1 Hazeryl L. Juntilla, FO1 Jerry Robin Vallar, and FO1 Joly Mae M. Tejano, who led the learners through each step of the activity, from understanding fire safety basics to participating in a hands-on evacuation simulation.

This age-appropriate drill aimed to promote awareness and build a sense of preparedness among young learners.

At DOrSU Preschool, we believe that safety education starts early and that even our youngest learners can take meaningful steps in becoming prepared and responsible individuals.
