LEAP KIDS Preschool at Woodlands

From all of us at LEAP,
Happy Lunar New Year!
恭喜发财！事事顺利！
— feeling festive.

LEAP took a staff retreat as a big family and what fun we had with the shopping and the meals. Most importantly we completed the main reason for our trip to Batam: To share our love and gifts of essentials and stationery to the orphans. Tugs our heartstrings to hear the stories of each of the little ones here. ❤️

The Mid-Autumn Festival is considered the second most important festival in China.

‘Zhōngqiū’ means ‘Mid-Autumn’ and Zhōngqiū kuàilè’ is used to say ‘Happy Mid-Autumn Festival.’

The Mid-Autumn Festival is so-named as it is held on the 15th of the 8th lunar month in the Chinese calendar. On this day, it is said the Moon is the brightest and roundest. Many families look forward to family reunions or a gathering of friends.

On behalf of all management and staff, we wish one and all a happy mid-autumn festival filled with family love and happiness.

*World Teachers' Day, also known as International Teachers Day, is an international day held annually on 5 October. Established in 1994, it commemorates the signing of the 1966 UNESCO/ILO Recommendation concerning the Status of Teachers that addresses the status and situations of teachers around the world.

More than 100 countries commemorate World Teachers' Day and each holds its own celebrations now on different dates.

In Singapore, we used to celebrate on 1 September every year till in 2012, it was changed to the last Friday before the end of Term 3 which usually falls in September.

On this special day dedicated to all Singapore Teachers, we wish all in the education sector a very very happy teachers' day.

Carpe Diem!

Happy 57th birthday Singapore!

The national day theme of 2022 “Stronger Together, Majulah!” is a call for all Singaporeans to forge ahead as a united and strong people towards a better future.

“Stronger Together” reminds Singaporeans that unity in our diversity is what makes us stronger. Communities, families and friends coming together form the bedrock of our nation’s strength and resilience, and enable us to overcome challenges. “Majulah”, which means “onward”, encapsulates our hopes and spirit as a nation since our independence 57 years ago, and is a rallying call for Singaporeans to strive for a better future, and grow from strength to strength as we emerge from COVID-19.

Happy 57th Birthday Singapore! Thank you for being my home, my country.
