The Chairman of Merlion APAC Group was interviewed in China Central Television (CCTV) "Influence Of Dialogue" in 2015 and also was invited to Shanghai Normal University Tianhua College in 2019 to share about how MerlionKids pedagogies and programmes use neuroscience-based curriculum and STEM activities to help brain development in stages. As an educator themself, he felt that it was important to inculcate in children good learning attitudes and habitual thinking, to equip them with strong literacy and reading skill for self-expression of own emotions and communicating of their desires, self-regulation of emotion to be better interacting with other children and self-discovery to discover more about themselves, what they like and their interests. The multiple intelligence integrated of science, numeracy and literacy approach increased a child's curiosities to wanting to learn new knowledge and skills in his lifelong journey. Using this unique Singapore learning principle to guide a child to explore and discover the world happily lay a good foundation for his future. As a chartered accountant by profession, he hoped this revolutionary curriculum developed a child for better future and, in the way, changed the world for better.

Join us and be part of the next big thing in preschool education. “Think globally, act locally”. “Glocal” is a concept in education that is used to connect global and local contexts. It is associated with the familiar terms such as global citizenship education, or education for sustainable development. Globalized learning focuses on blending and connecting local and global contexts when teaching and learning concepts that apply across different levels of scale, in fields such as sustainability and environmental science. Learning becomes effective when put into local context because children are better able to relate to the content and material through familiar examples. The focus becomes discovering the connections between the local issues and the global concepts studied during class. - In Dreamkids, children learn about how they can practically apply sustainable development concepts that affect their local communities. In this way, they are more likely to take meaningful actions because they have an easier time grasping concepts that are locally and culturally relevant. - For example, children could learn about climate change by understanding weather patterns in their region; they could learn about world hunger caused by desertification and create a local food drive in their communities or they could learn about the importance of recycling by tracking a product that they use everyday through the product life-cycle. - We believe that changing attitudes and values is not enough, and for education to be effective, we need to show children how they can act on behaviours. We need to remove any barriers to taking action. For children, behaviours are greatly influenced by personal factors and peers, so they need to see their peers, teachers, and school communities promoting and taking the same action. We seek to achieve this through the following four steps: • Learning and understanding concepts through global themes and trends. • Using examples in real-life contexts and experiences. • Taking meaningful action. • Reflecting. - With our specially designed Dreamkids Glocal Education, we seek to nurture happy and empathetic global citizens and problem solvers who want to make the world a better place. - “Raising happy children who want to change the world through their big dreams and little actions to make it a better place”, and share our passion to impact more children and parents in the world with our dream early childhood education, we welcome to be part of our family as a franchisee. - ​3 reasons to work with us. 1. We believe in education first, business second. Many preschool businesses or franchises fail because they go by business first, education second, forgetting that building a successful education business goes beyond just a curriculum or operating system, but a strong mission-based culture built together by teachers, parents, and children. 2. We are franchisee-focused, meaning that we want as our franchisee, to be successful when embarking on this remarkable journey with us because we know that when they are successful, we are too. 3. We are a crazy team of passionate early childhood educators and entrepreneurs who want to impact the lives of children and parents through our work in early childhood education. In other words, as part of our Dreamkids family, it would surely be a fun and meaningful one.
