Beanstalk Issue 4 (Jul - Sep 2014)
In this issue of Beanstalk, we talk to parents and early childhood professionals on what truly matters in a child’s formative years. Learn about the frameworks available to support and enhance pre-school children’s learning. Take a look at Play@National Museum of Singapore— an interactive space where children learn about their culture and heritage in a fun and engaging way. You’ll also get a sneak preview of ECDA’s Early Childhood Conference 2014 for educators and parents on 19 and 20 September!
