New initiative to celebrate parents' involvement with their kids' pre-school
The Straits Times
|May 12, 2025
Mr Justin Doray is a familiar face at his three-year-old daughter Islay's pre-school.
-
The 51-year-old engineer is part of My First Skool@Blk 153 Bishan parents' support group, and he actively helps during various activities and excursions organised by the pre-school.
For instance, he conducted arts and craft activities related to the theme of Christmas to celebrate the festival. He also sang and danced with the children to celebrate National Day, and co-hosted the school's sports day alongside a teacher.
Mr Doray said: "I enjoy being with the kids, and it's lovely to see them playing together.
"It's also a learning experience for me to see how other children develop, and also how Islay interacts with the other children."
Ms Cheryl Lin, the pre-school's principal, expressed her intention to nominate Mr Doray for a new initiative called Our Wonderful Parents, as his consistent involvement and willingness to offer help has a positive impact on the centre's educators.
