Greetings from Mercu Learning Point! I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to all parents for the constant support and trust you have shown in the care and education of your children. We dedicated ourselves to meeting working families’ needs by keeping your children safe and providing high-quality programmes when they are in our student care centres. The year 2022 allowed us to resume some normalcy in our daily lives. We still see waves and peaks of Covid-19 infections, and people still wearing masks. However, we also see a return of life. Our students at Whee! Canopus and Kindergarten Care Centres were able to engage in more fun and engaging group activities with fewer restrictions. Our Team of teachers are eager and excited to welcome all our students as they have planned out more fun and enriching programmes specially for them.
To all parents and students, may you have a great year and we look forward to better days ahead!
