2008 Year End Concert

Honey Tree Child Care Year End Concert saw the graduation of 6 kindergarten students on 13 Dec 08. The theme for the afternoon was “Honey Tree Work Out”. It was a good workout indeed. The afternoon saw 40 over children danced, sang and recited poems. They had not only brought applause and cheers but strong encouragement and support from their parents and relatives.
“It was a performance of high standard!” One parent said of the show. Many more parents recalled the Bhangrarobics dance and Chinese Kung Fu dance as entertaining.


The 2 Young emcees who were Honey Tree Graduants stole the show as well. They have displayed so much self-confidence and maturity.



There were no moments of low keys. The evening started with the 6 graduants speaking of themselves, their stay in Honey Tree and where they would go next. They have not forgotten to thank the teachers of Honey Tree for the care and patience as well.



In her opening speech, Madam Stella, the GM, reviewed her plan for next year. She said that Honey Tree will continue to enhance academics learning and will be adding more moral education program like reciting ancient poems and idioms as well as lessons on moral learning themes like “My Feelings” and “I Care & I Help”. “The emphasis here is on character building. Our children will become more rounded individuals with a strong foundation when they move on to primary school.” She reckoned that pre-school years are a critical period for children. They lay the foundation of formal schooling. It is therefore important to provide the best for them, right from the start of their educational journey.

In closing, Madam Stella encouraged all parents to provide feedback. She emphasized that parents are partners. Honey Tree needs to work hand in hand with them. She thanked them for their support and understanding all these years. She also took the opportunity to thank the children and her teachers for putting in the untiring effort to make the evening a resounding success.

It was indeed a memorable one for the children and parents of Honey Tree.
