It is my second Teachers' Day and that means .... I've survived another year! Beyond the presents, it is the recognition and appreciation that matters. Well, I am thrilled to know that there will be an additional half day centre closure starting next year and centres are encouraged to give the day off on Teachers' Day, now that's the perfect way to celebrate!

1st of October will forever be a special day for me. I got engaged in the morning and I went to the ECDA conference to support our centre/booth for attaining Outstanding Teaching and Learning Award 2016. It is a sweet taste of glory and culmination of all our hard work. As what my leader said to us, "This award is not about perfection, but rather, a continued commitment to excellence. We will keep learning and working hard at becoming better early childhood professionals, improve our programmes for children, and foster trusting relationships with families." I really really love the way she puts it, I am inspired and energized for the journey ahead. And, I produced a quote, it's on a bookmark, awesome!
