Experienced Leadership
Lorna Whiston hires the most passionate and dedicated teachers we can find. With extensive experience in early years education, our teachers are fully qualified, dedicated and passionate about helping children develop their individual strengths and learning skills. Our preschool teachers have been with Lorna Whiston for an average of four years, and undergo over sixty hours of teacher training annually, allowing them to continually hone their teaching skills and thematic interests. All our Lorna Whiston Preschool teachers hold at a minimum, but not limited to, the Diploma in Pre-School Education – Teaching. In the classroom, they are committed to each child, providing individual attention and progressive feedback; out of the classroom, they search for and prepare the most engaging and interactive lessons available. Our teaching teams are supported by our Head of Academics, who helps guide professional development and academic research to ensure that our curriculum and teaching methods remain current and relevant to the core values of Lorna Whiston, and the early childhood sector.
With Singapore’s best preschool Teacher : Child Ratio and two fully qualified teachers in every class, each child is given the full individual attention they need to support their academic growth, confidence and emotional readiness for entry in primary school.
It has been a rewarding two decades of commitment Lynn has dedicated to the young children across preschool, childcare centres and a children's home / children’s homes since 1998.
Lynn joined Lorna Whiston Preschool as a Teacher in 2004. This marked the beginning of more than a decade of professional growth and personal dedication. After four rewarding years of teaching, she took on the role of Principal, leading a number of initiatives including the setting up of new centres, bilingual curriculum development, new extracurricular development, teacher’s training (local and China) and two successive ECDA “SPARKS” accreditations in 2011 and 2014 respectively. Progressing to Senior Principal in 2013, then to Head of Preschools of Lorna Whiston Education Group in 2017, Lynn rose to the challenge each time and delivered.
During her 15 year tenure with Lorna Whiston, Lynn has been instrumental in building a Lorna Whiston culture of continued learning for staff; developing a robust learning environment and a bilingual immersion curriculum, and mentoring new staff who have embarked on new teaching roles and taking on leadership roles in the industry. Lynn holds a Bachelor of Arts (Childhood and Family Education) from Edith Cowan University (Perth) and a Post Graduate Specialist Diploma in Preschool Education (Singapore).

我是来自中国福建的李莉。由于喜欢孩子的天真与可爱，决定踏入幼教这一行业。并于1990年毕业于中国一所拥有悠久历史的百年女校——泉州幼儿师范学校（现泉州儿童发展职业学院），从1990至今一直投身于幼教行业，在此期间，不仅获得新加坡智源教育学院与北京师范大学所联办的学前儿童教育大专文凭，并多次参加一些在新加坡举办的国际幼儿华文教育研讨会和相关学前教育的各类培训课程，从而不断提升自己的专业水平。
从事幼儿园华文教育多年，我擅长于幼儿演艺、游戏教学和音乐律动。经过多年来经验的累积，我能够根据幼儿的生理心理发展特征，根据幼儿的最近发展区，并从幼儿的经验和兴趣出发，采用多种教学策略，让幼儿在一个轻松愉快的环境中学习与成长。
2004年加入LWP至今，现在是本学园的华文高级教师兼副校长。在做好执教职责之外，还负责带领学校的华文教师共同选编适合本学园教育理念、目标以及与英文主题密切配合的华文教材，力求将园本课程与新加坡教育部统一的小一课程相互衔接，更好的促进幼儿的全面发展。在教材选编方面，力求结合丰富的经验，以专业的眼光和踏实的态度，选编了适宜各年龄阶段幼儿的图书、教具、游戏等教育教学内容，为学园的华文教育发展起到极大的促进作用。
Jocelyn, led by her love for children, did a career change and joined the Early Childhood sector in 2003. Being in the EC for two decades in various settings as both an educator and a leader has given her a wide perspective of the industry. She has introduced and led her team in various projects and curriculum changes. She was also a selected member to participate in the Principal Matters Programme organised by the Lien Foundation in 2019.
Jocelyn believes in partnering with families to raise children with the right values and to build a strong foundation of skills that prepares them for their future. Like the story of 'The Starfish Thrower', she aspires to mentor teachers and to make a difference in the lives of the children who come under her care.
