Having been born and educated in Singapore, both WanTing and Kei witnessed and experienced the benefits yet challenges of children and parents in Singapore. The duo recognised that the ingredients to raising a happy and confident child has to come from the fundamentals (developing strong sense of belongingness, growing a good set of soft skills, beyond simply understanding academics). This recipe will certainly support them to become strong global citizens. Parental involvement and the community is highly crucial in the whole process, as Bronfenbrenner suggested in his Bio-Ecological Theory. 

Alongside the research by developmental psychologists and theorists such as Piaget, Vygotsky, Carol Dweck, Deci & Ryan (and more!!), as well as MOE’s latest 21st Century Competencies Framework, ‘Important Things Other Than Academics’ (ITOTA) was created. ​
