This project, Start Small Dream Big, was created by ECDA to encourage pre-schools to create authentic platform for children to innovate, problem-solve and tap on their unique strengths to help others. To encourage children to give back to society, we brought the children to All Saints Home on 2nd August 2019, Friday to bond with the senior citizens through performances and doing hands-on activities with them. It was memorable experience as we involved the younger children; Toddler, Nursery 1 & 2 besides the K1 and K2 to participate in this inter-generational bonding which will help to boost their social development. We even invited parents to join us in this meaningful event!
The children put up a spectacular performances for the senior citizens which brought big smiles and enjoyable time for them.
The children all ready to say HELLO to the senior citizens.
