Little Seeds Preschool (St. Hilda\u2019s Church)<\/a> offers more than just a peaceful and joyful place to learn \u2013 it\u2019s a safe environment where children thrive emotionally, spiritually, and socially. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Nurturing a strong, spiritual foundation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/shared-image-2025-02-28T174243.792-1024x768.jpg\")
Pastor Steven leading praise and worship with the children.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nAs visitors step into LSP (St. Hilda\u2019s Church), they are immediately greeted by a burst of vibrant colours. The front garden, filled with lively hues, sets the tone for a day of discovery and creativity<\/a>. The sounds of children\u2019s laughter and music fill the air, creating a welcoming atmosphere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Slightly past 8am, the children eagerly exclaim: \u201cPastor Steven is here!\u201d They quickly gather for devotion and cheerfully greet Pastor Steven with a \u201cHigh Five!\u201d. As Pastor Steven plays the guitar, the children praise and worship God, with many of them enthusiastically singing and dancing along to action songs, often bursting into giggles. What a fun and joyful start to the day! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Preparing children for life <\/h3>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/shared-image-43-1024x769.jpg\")
Children fascinated by the watermelon that was harvested from our own garden!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nAt LSP (St. Hilda\u2019s Church), one of the children\u2019s favourite spaces is the dining hall, where authentic meal experiences and new discoveries take place. The shared space fosters opportunities for meaningful conversations, relationship-building, and the development of important self-help skills, whether it\u2019s trying new foods or learning how to use utensils independently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
One such moment occurred when one of our children Rio ran excitedly to Senior Teacher Levinia Ong and said: \u201cMs Levinia, I finished my spaghetti today!\u201d At that moment, it dawned on me that the dining hall is also a special place where children can be proud of their achievements!\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/shared-image-2025-02-24T142638.646-768x1024.jpg\")

Children are little humans who experience big emotions. At LSP, we recognise that children are not just learning academics \u2013 they are also learning to navigate their emotions. As teachers, we play an important role in helping children process and learn about their emotions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/67b7ed8c-b000-4970-851c-441aac180108-1024x768.jpeg\")
Children engaged in a large group lesson. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nOne particularly touching moment I witnessed occurred when a child was not ready for a large group lesson. Instead of scolding, Ms. Darlene gently spoke to the child, saying, \u201cPlease sit properly, will you please?\u201d
The child, surprised by this approach, responded, \u201cWhy did you not scold me?\u201d
This honest response left a deep impression on both the child and the teacher. We are thankful for teaching moments like this to educate and shape each child\u2019s unique identity. It was a poignant reminder of the importance of helping children understand and process their emotions in a kind and compassionate way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Welcoming parent partnerships<\/h3>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-02-23-at-5.59.52-PM-1024x768.jpeg\")
In our recent Parent Engagement, parents took on the role of a child to experience a Key to Learning Construction lesson.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nLearning in LSP (SHC) is not limited to our children and teachers. We welcome parents to partner alongside us in learning and engage parents through regular Parent Engagement sessions, where we discuss key topics such as cultivating life skills in children both at school and at home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, during a recent session, we explored how to nurture the 7 essential life skills in young children. Father of a Playgroup child, Andrew, shared his appreciation for the session, saying: \u201cThe engagement was a great session that made me feel great about enrolling my child at LSP (SHC).\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nI really appreciate the effort the teachers put in to teaching and nurturing our kids, especially in a way that helps them develop important skills. \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
These sessions not only provide valuable insights for parents but also foster a strong sense of community and collaboration. By working together, we ensure that the children\u2019s development is well-rounded and supported both at school and at home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. Fostering community spirit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/ourlearningjourney.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-02-23-at-5.58.06-PM.jpeg\")
Parents organised a gathering to celebrate the children\u2019s graduation and appreciate the staff team. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nA warm and joyful environment in LSP (SHC) does not happen only through the efforts of the staff team. It is the spirit of community that we have, reflected through the actions of our parents, who often go above and beyond to help care for one another\u2019s children. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On several occasions, parents have taken the time to comfort children who were crying during the morning drop-off, even when they themselves had their own busy schedules. These small but meaningful acts of kindness are precious to witness and are part of the community that makes LSP so special. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our pivoting journey has not been easy<\/a>, but despite the changes, we remain dedicated to grow children into their God-given identity by building positive relationships in a safe and nurturing environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\nIf you are looking for a preschool that nurtures not just the minds, but the hearts of our children, Little Seeds Preschool (St. Hilda\u2019s Church) offers the perfect environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
