Eileen is originally from South Korea and earned her Associate's Degree in Early Childhood at Suwon Women's College, Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood at Hanyang Women's University and a Level 3 Certificate in Early Childhood Education at Prestwick International College.
Eileen has been teaching for 13 years in South Korea, Sweden and Singapore.
Eileen's goal as an early childhood educator is to support children to build a firm foundation for their future learning. She believes every child is unique with full of potential. As an educator, she encourages students' independence to discover their own way of learning with positive learning attitudes; acknowledging their interest and enjoying the process of learning.
She believes that building a positive relationship between teachers and students is a foundational part of this learning. Collaborating with parents as a team maximises children's learning. For young learners, play-based and hands-on experiences will bring out the best in them. Most importantly, her goal is for every student to feel safe and happy in school with their friends and teachers.
Eileen's kindergarten experience when she was a little child has remained as a happy memory until now. Since that moment, she dreamed of being a kindergarten teacher because she wanted to make other children have the same experience as she had.
Eileen loves the diverse culture at OWIS and is happiest when travelling and trying different types of food around the world!
When your child enters into an Early Childhood classroom, they will quickly discover the types of activities and lessons that they like the best. It is clear that children have unique learning styles from the moment they begin their educational experience. Your child will need time to explore the formal preschool classroom setting and should be given an opportunity to develop their own learning pace. As such, it's imperative that you select the best preschool in Singapore for your child, in which teachers will differentiate learning to accommodate different learning styles, levels of learning and speed of learning in the early childhood setting.
Most preschool students are walking into a school setting for the first time in their lives, and they are just beginning to understand what learning looks and feels like. These are a few of the benefits that your child will realise when there is differentiated learning experiences in their kindergarten classroom:
At OWIS, we believe that play-based learning is best for your early childhood student. As this is their first experience in a classroom setting, we know that it's important that your child has an opportunity to explore the room, socialise with their new friends and play in a way that is safe, productive and fun.
With play at the centre of our kindergarten programme, we have adopted these best practices to differentiate learning in the early childhood setting:
Differentiation provides your young learner with an opportunity to develop and grow according to their own interests, abilities and strengths. By differentiating learning in preschool classrooms, OWIS teachers offer students a positive first experience in school and help these young learners to feel confident as they head into primary school. At OWIS, our Early Childhood programme adopts all of the best practices in differentiated learning to help all of our learners succeed.
OWIS offers two campuses in Singapore: one is a Kindergarten to Grade 12 (K-12) school at Nanyang, and the other is a dedicated kindergarten facility in the East, called One World Preschool, Mountbatten. To learn more about our Early Childhood programme, contact us today to schedule a virtual tour.
