On August 8, Kinderland Preschool @ Ministry of Manpower (MOM) and Kinderland Preschool @ Revenue House participated in the annual National Day Observance Ceremony (NDOC). The theme of this year’s National Day is “Onward As One”, encompassing two key messages. “Onward”, urging Singaporeans to look forward and be resilient to future challenges; and “As One”, highlighting the need for inclusivity and unity.
