​​'I was an airline representative, now I am a teacher!' Kum | Experience My First Skool

​​"I was an airline representative, now I am a teacher!"

Kum Foong Yee worked in the aviation industry for a decade as an Airline Representative. After taking on administrative work during the COVID-19 pandemic, she noticed her two-year-old son developing exponentially and could play on his own independently, after attending infant care at My First Skool. Intrigued by his development, Foong Yee enrolled in the Diploma (Conversion) in Early Childhood Care & Education - Teaching in August 2021, and is now undergoing the programme at the National Institute of Early Childhood Development. She also works a few days a week at My First Skool (Rivervale Crescent) centre as a Trainee Teacher to gain hands-on experience. Foong Yee has since learned that being a pre-school teacher is not just about taking care of children but nurturing them.
