A total of 860 teachers and staff at Crestar Education Group’s (CEG) Early Childhood Education division each received a ’Care Pack’ on the 6 April 2020, one day before the ‘Circuit Breaker’ began. It was an exercise to appreciate our own frontliners who had helped to continue in providing education services during the COVID-19 outbreak.
It was a joint initiative led by Kinderland Educare Services, ELFA Chinese Preschool, NurtureStars Preschool, Skool4Kidz Preschool and The Grange Institution.
Each of the packs contained an orange, apple, hand-sanitiser, pack of anti-bacterial wipes, and thermometer, which were also meant to remind our staff to take care of themselves. CEG would like to thank our vendor, Chia & Thai, for their donations amounting to the Care Pack.
We stand in solidarity with our own education service providers as they continue to work from home to provide home-based learning during the ‘Circuit Breaker’, which has now extended to 1 June 2020.
We also recognise and thank our preschool teachers who continue to support the operations of some of our preschools. These preschools provide limited services to essential services workers, who require custodian care for their children.
CEG continues to urge all its staff to take the necessary precautionary measures and practice good personal hygiene, including washing their hands regularly and wearing masks at all times.
