KidSTART practitioners supported me at the hospital during my pregnancy and played a key role in my parenting journey post-birth, they are like friends to me. KidSTART has also given my daughter the opportunity to attend plays and events that are great for her learning! It is comforting to know that the practitioners are trained to help me in parenting and supporting my child’s development.

​As a first-time parent, I was never sure if I was doing enough as a parent. With so much information online, it can get stressful. KidSTART ​had ​helped ease my anxieties​ with​​ 1-1 support ​​from ​a ​trained, professional ​practitioner. I know I can trust information from a trained professional. Besides parenting resources, KidSTART also has other perks like monthly fresh fruits and vegetables and free family events.​ ​My daughter got to enjoy attending theatre plays for the first time!

Volunteering with children is incredibly fulfilling. It allows me to witness the transformative power of kindness firsthand. Each smile on a child's face is a vivid reminder of the joy and hope we bring into their lives, reinforcing the positive impact we can make together.

Seeing the smiles and relief on the faces of families when they receive these distributions fills me with gratitude and motivates me to continue helping. It’s a privilege to be part of their journey and support their well-being.

In my first year volunteering with KidSTART, I’ve learnt how much joy and impact comes from giving back to the community. Through volunteering at kids' events, I’ve had a chance to meet new people, make friends, and see the smiles on children's faces. It was a wonderful experience for my son to be involved in different types of volunteering as well, which I believe had a positive impact on him and helped him understand the value of helping others.

It has been an enriching experience for me ever since I joined KidSTART Singapore as a volunteer. Being able to partake in the meaningful activities has brought much joy and fulfilment to me. I am humbled to be in a position where I can contribute and make a difference to the lives of those who I interact with.

My biggest takeaway after becoming a part of this community is helping the families and children as well as making new friends. Positive actions bring Positive change. Volunteering with KidSTART Singapore is a great way to bring Positive change to people, communities and society. Helping children and families gives you a chance to give back to the community or make a difference to the people around you.

Thanks to KidSTART, we are more confident in supporting our children's future. I received support at the prenatal stage from the hospital and when my children were born by a KidSTART practitioner. Whether it is about managing tantrums or supporting my child’s learning, it is good to have someone always there for us. ​As part of KidSTART, I also received pregnancy support from the hospital who ensured I was well. Now, all of my young children are supported by my KidSTART practitioner through home visits. I am grateful that KidSTART tries to incorporate my family's schedule at ​the convenience of ​our home and adapts their curriculum to consider our culture and customs!
