The event began with a captivating performance by Singapore’s first preschool marching band, where 91 children from Kinderland Yio Chu Kang demonstrated different formations while playing to popular tunes such as Long De Chuan Ren (龙的传人) and Rookies Theme. They played various instruments such as the glockenspiels, pianicas, electronic keyboards, snare and bass drums.

This year’s event was special as we had our little toddlers joining us for the first time with their families in the ‘Hokey Pokey’ and ‘Go Go Go’ relay section.

Everyone’s a winner at Kinderland with each child receiving a medal for their efforts.

In addition to forging stronger family bonds through active parents participation, children learned the importance of healthy and active living, in line with our Kinderfit objectives.
