We are delighted to celebrate our 40th anniversary this year. It has been a remarkable journey, and we are grateful to all of our staff, parents, program partners, and community members who have supported us along the way.
Over the past four decades, PPIS Child Development Centres, now known as 7oaks Preschool, has grown and evolved to meet the needs of our community. We have expanded our capacity to nine centre, significantly increased our enrolment, become a Partner Operator (POP) with the Early Childhood Development Agency (ECDA), and attained SPARK certification - a recognition of quality in teaching, learning and management processes. We are also progressively transitioning our classroom environment to a Reggio-inspired classroom, which encourages children to be active learners and problem-solvers.
We are grateful of all that we have accomplished, and we are excited to continue to grow and innovate in the years to come. Thank you for being a part of our journey!
To celebrate our anniversary, we will be hosting a variety of activities in the next 2 months. We kicked off the celebrations with the launch of our anniversary microsite, which commemorates our past 40 years and celebrates the countless memories that have been woven into the fabric of our centres'. We will also be rolling out a social media campaign called '40 Reflections for 40 Years', sharing key milestones, spotlighting accomplished alumni, recognising our exceptional educators, and highlighting the contributions of our Board.
The culmination of our anniversary celebrations will be our Learning Festival on Saturday, 7 October 2023. This free event will feature performances by our Nursery and Kindergarten 2 children, workshops for parents, children and educators, and booths activities spread over five zones: Project Forti’tude, Groove to Move, Plug I.T., In Nature’s Lap and ARTis✓.
We hope you will join us in celebrating our 40th anniversary! For more information, please visit our Anniversary Celebrations page.
Thank you again for your support. We look forward to seeing you at our Learning Festival!
This year signifies our preschool's four-decade journey in the Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) industry in Singapore.
Our 40th Anniversary Theme, "Celebrating Successes" serves as a vibrant tapestry that weaves together the threads of accomplishments, growth, and heartfelt connections.
• Embrace the Journey: As we reflect on the past four decades, we cherish not only the key milestones that have defined our path but also the small victories that have paved the way for our success. From our humble beginnings to the vibrant preschool we are today, every step counts in this remarkable journey.
• Our Stakeholders, Our Story: At the heart of our celebration lies the deep-rooted sense of community and connection. "Celebrating Successes" isn't just about us, it's about you - our former and current leaders, staff, students and their families, and the neighbourhoods that have warmly embraced us.
• Education Elevated: Throughout our journey, we've been dedicated to providing quality education to the young minds of our community. "Celebrating Successes" highlights the continuous progress and growth we've achieved, thanks to the hard work of our dedicated team and the support of our cherished families.
• Shaping Futures: Our anniversary theme resonates with the idea that success isn't just a destination; it's a continuous journey of growth and evolution. As we celebrate our past accomplishments, we also set the stage for a future filled with new triumphs and limitless possibilities.
