Writing has the benefit of enhancing fine-motor skills of strength and dexterity, plus draw on linguistic resources of vocabulary and thought to frame text that is meaningful and coherent. One of the methods that the teacher is using is “shared writing”.
In shared writing, children dictate the story and the teacher writes it down. Then, the teacher reads the story back to the child. Shared writing is an excellent way of demonstrating the links between oral and written language. Vukelich & Christie (2009) say
that it helps children realize that what they say can be written in print and that print can be read as oral language. In this way, writing is a full language experience. We are really excited at the possibilities that this programme holds for our children in
the Head Starts I and II years. Importantly, we want them to know that writing is a skill that can last them a lifetime, and it is not just about getting good grades or a tick on the page.
ADMISSION and FEES
Children are admitted into the Creative Writing programme at the start of each term. Mid-term admissions are possible only when there are vacancies.

Wee Care was birthed from a heart that wants the best for infants, toddlers, children with special needs and their parents. Founded in 1996 by teacher and mother of three, Mrs Denise Lai, Wee Care began as a provider of home-based midwifery services to babies and new mothers. Eventually, the services took on an educational nature to ensure that infants and toddlers developed well whilst their parents were at work.
Three years later, Parent-Child PlayGroups were introduced to give working parents the opportunity to develop deeper bonds with their babies and toddlers through motivated, directed and purposeful play. At the same time, Behavioural Management Programmes were added to the fold to provide early assistance to children with special learning needs.
Today, Wee Care stands out among the crowd of educational centres as the home-grown pioneer in research-based Infant Development, Early Childhood Education and Early Intervention Programmes.
