As we step into 2025, I am filled with gratitude and excitement for the journey ahead. This past year has been a transformative one for Mercu Learning Point. We expanded our reach and impact, marking milestones that reflect our dedication to serving the diverse needs of our community.

In 2024, we proudly welcomed A Star Childcare into our family, extending Islamic-based education to the Muslim community. Additionally, we launched our second and third community-based, Whee!Canopus student care centre, in Yishun. These achievements symbolise our commitment to inclusivity and holistic education.

Our Stellar Champs Enrichment Wing has also grown significantly, partnering with more than 20 schools including Kidz Meadow, An-Nur Mosque Kindergarten, My First Skool, Iyad Perdaus, Bleu Castle Child Care Centre, and Little Oxford Preschool to provide enriching programs tailored to students’ needs.

To our parents and partners, thank you for your unwavering support and trust in us. Your acceptance and collaboration have been the cornerstone of our success.

Looking ahead to 2025, we are thrilled to announce that by 1st January, we now have 3 new student care centres in Yishun. With future plans for more student care and childcare centres, we are excited to continue expanding our reach and impact.
We look forward to working closely with all of you in the year ahead and seeing you at our upcoming centre events.

Thank you for being part of the Mercu family and for allowing us to play a part in your child’s learning journey.

Warmest regards,
Janice Sim
