Since 2006, Kinderland Preschool @ MOM has been a part of this significant event, beginning with sing-along performances. In 2008, we transitioned to the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) auditorium for our National Day celebrations, and more recently, we have expanded our performances at the Bendemeer Services Centre.

This year, our Kinderland children were excited to once again be part of the MOM NDOC. They delivered a series of captivating performances, starting with a pianica rendition of “Di Tanjung Katong,” followed by three ethnic songs: “Joget Berhibur,” “Mo Li Hua” (茉莉花), and “Morni Banke.” The finale featured our Kindergarten One (K1) and Kindergarten Two (K2) children in a heartfelt dance to the music of “Not Alone.”

Since 2006, Kinderland’s partnership with government ministries has focused on high-quality preschool education and care, supporting working parents. This commitment fosters a balanced work environment, contributing positively to economic growth.
