Team Creative Zero
We are a group of students pursing a diploma in Child Psychology and Early Education in Ngee Ann Polytechnic. This project aims to find out how Holistic Development can be achieved in Singapore and what should be done in order to achieve it. We collected data from a local preschool to analyse its needs and proposed recommended solutions to tackle the problem.
