SINGAPORE - About 150 staff across 53 private pre-schools here will be trained by the end of this year to identify developmental needs in young children and provide early intervention where needed, under a new initiative.
This will ensure the pre-schoolers receive the necessary care they need as soon as possible from educators at the centre itself, easing the strain on parents who may otherwise have to shuttle their kids between pre-school and therapy.
