49,000 preschoolers start small and dream big through community projects

SINGAPORE - The pouring rain did nothing to dampen the spirits of excited pre-schoolers gathered at Gardens by the Bay on Friday for the launch of the President's Challenge"Start Small Dream Big" initiative.

This year, 49,000 kids between the ages four and six will take part - a sixfold increase on the numbers who took part in the initiative's first year in 2015. Kids will also be encouraged to use their creativity and resources to give back to the community, which the organisers say is a way of teaching values such as care for others and compassion while encouraging them to aspire towards building a kind and inclusive society.

Teachers, who are equipped with an educator's guide developed by the carnival organisers and Little Footprints Preschool, take their pre-schoolers on an educational tour through the Heritage Gardens in Gardens by the Bay.
