Dear Rachel and Katherine

It's been a year since Aiden started N1 and we are immensely proud at the progress he has shown. This would not have been possible without the hard work of both Teacher Jihah and Zhang Lao Shi.

We are especially impressed with the improvement in his mandarin - from only knowing a few mandarin words to singing mandarin songs every day and we only can give credit for this to Zhang Lao Shi (especially since we seldom speak mandarin to him at home). Whom we know has patiently been encouraging him to speak in Mandarin and teaching him new words each day.

We appreciate that Teacher Jihah and Zhang Lao Shi both take the time to update us not only on Aiden's progress in school, but also whenever they notice something out of norm. Once such occasion was when he woke up with a slightly swollen eye - Teacher Jihah highlighted it to us so we could monitor.

We were also most happy to see Aiden could perform so well on stage, considering he was the first to walk off stage last year and he had missed several practice sessions with the HFMD situation this year.

It is not easy taking care of one child, let alone 7 - 8 active toddlers in a class.

Teacher Jihah and Zhang Lao Shi both have the traits of caring and passionate pre-school teachers and we trust they will keep up their good work

Warm Regards

Michael and Bernadette Lim
