A proper student care setting can change all these circumstances, because it not only guarantees children's safety, but also actively influences the process of their learning and development as individuals.

EduFirst Learning Centre in Singapore and its student care in Woodleigh and Potong Pasir operate according to such a programme.

1. A Programme Focused on Child Development

EduFirst implements the Integrated Student Development Programme (ISDP) in all its student care centres. The ISDP aims at developing the student in three ways: academically, socially-emotionally, and morally. A confident, socially secure, and emotionally stable child will learn better than an anxious and neglected child.

At Student Care in Woodleigh and Potong Pasir, the after-school programme consists of two kinds of learning:

Formal Learning includes:

• Help with homework from experienced full-time tutors.

• Tuition lessons according to the MOE syllabus.

• Enrichment lessons to build on school learning.

• Experiments which make learning fun and practical.

Informal learning includes:

• Cooking, art, craft and other creative activities.

• Sports and games

• Moral education and character-building lessons.

• Field Trips that bring learning outside the classroom.

This combination ensures that the children remain truly interested rather than just occupied.

2. More Than Homework Tutoring for Academic Excellence

While most student support centres provide homework tutoring as the core of their academic programs, EduFirst does much more. If the child faces difficulties with math or comprehension, their full-time tutors at Student Care in Potong Pasir come to the rescue. They try to find out what causes the misunderstanding, explain the concept clearly, and ensure the student solves it correctly before proceeding.

With such an instant and personalised approach, students build academic confidence. Those kids who get constant and thoughtful help no longer view complicated topics as hindrances but approach them with more confidence.

3. Student Care Centre: Satisfying the Needs of an Expanding Community

The Woodleigh, Bidadari, and Potong Pasir community has seen an expansion in recent times. With new housing projects in the area, there have been many families added to the community, and the need for good after-school care has increased significantly. The Student Care in Potong Pasir, which is offered by EduFirst, satisfies the need with a high-quality programme irrespective of the number of families it caters to.

EduFirst offers an attractive programme from various schools within the vicinity, such as:

• Cedar Primary School

• Yangzheng Primary School

• St Andrew’s Junior School

• Bendemeer Primary School

• St Gabriel’s Primary School

• Maris Stella High School (Primary)

• CHIJ Our Lady of the Nativity

All children make a safe journey from their respective schools to the Student Care in Potong Pasir without their parents having to get off work early.

4. Safe and Comfortable Environment Fosters Effective Learning

Children get accustomed to the new surroundings quickly when the environment is safe and comfortable. In Student Care in Woodleigh, there are fully air-conditioned premises that are recently renovated and include:

• Air purifiers that provide a healthy environment for children to study.

• CCTV cameras operate 24/7, providing total safety.

• Shower room and sleeping space.

• Library with plenty of books and educational TV shows.

• Nutritious food served throughout the day.

Moreover, parents are informed about their children’s activities during the day, so they stay informed without needing to chase after information. That consistent communication builds genuine trust between EduFirst and the families it serves.

5. Personal Development Occurs Through Consistency

Achievements in terms of academic performance are just one aspect of the contributions made by student care to the development process. Social skills acquired during participation in various collective activities, confidence gained through presenting ideas in front of others, and values gained through organised moral training are the factors that influence a child’s personality throughout their whole life.

EduFirst’s Student Care in Potong Pasir and Woodleigh offer the right conditions for each of these processes. Children participate in peer interactions, gain experience in working in groups, acquire empathy skills through joint activities, and learn how to cope with success and failures in a comfortable, supervised atmosphere.
