The people behind Pegasus

Ms Hema

Curriculum Specialist

‘Ms Hema!’ is what I hear shouted out when the little ones surround me. While studying, I never imagined myself as an educational professional — but after 14 years of teaching and creating curricula, I couldn’t be prouder to be part of this lifelong profession.

With a Master’s in Early Childhood Education, experience across enrichment programmes, and as an IB PYP teacher, I strongly believe in play-based and inquiry-based learning, where children co-create and turn their curiosity into something extraordinary. I find joy in creating curricula — seeing how they guide fellow teachers, support parents and nurture the little ones is what truly feeds my soul. As seeds grow into flowers and trees, children are no different; in that sense, I’m one proud ‘farmer’.

Ms Kirsten

English Teacher

Hello, I’m Ms Kirsten! I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Early Years Education. A British citizen raised in South Africa, I’ve lived in Wales, England, Vietnam, China and now Singapore for the past four years. As a mother of two and a teacher, I’m committed to developing young minds holistically — nurturing every sphere of a child’s development to raise well-balanced children who become well-adjusted adults.

I adore working with children and pride myself on a warm, friendly environment where students feel safe and motivated to explore. The values I focus on most are kindness, respect and responsibility — alongside celebrating the diversity of culture in the classroom — and I believe in inquiry-based learning to build creative, lifelong learners. I look forward to meeting you all!

Ms Safiyyah

English Teacher

My name is Nur Safiyyah Aqilah, and I’m honoured to teach at Pegasus International Preschool. I hold a Diploma in Early Childhood Education and have two years of experience as an early childhood educator, with a commitment to ongoing learning and growth. I became a teacher to inspire children to achieve their goals and become independent, productive members of society — I’m passionate about education and making a positive impact on children’s lives.

Ms Joy

English Teacher

Over years of experience across different countries, I’ve had the privilege of guiding children through their preschool years, fuelled by a passion for nurturing curiosity and laying the foundation for lifelong learning — regardless of culture or background. As Fred Rogers said, “Anyone who does anything to help a child is a hero to me.”

That belief drives my teaching: each day is an opportunity to inspire and support the unique potential of every child. I strive to create an environment where children feel valued, encouraged and empowered to explore their world — keeping every classroom moment both fun and full of learning.

Wang Laoshi

Mandarin Teacher

Hello everyone! My name is Wang XiaoOu, from China. I graduated from Anshan Normal University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education. Since my internship I’ve built three years of teaching experience — in kindergartens in China and a Chinese-language enrichment centre in Singapore. That experience shaped my philosophy: “To reach children’s hearts, you must first become like a child yourself.” I look forward to supporting our children’s growth together. Thank you!

大家好！我的名字是王晓鸥，来自中国，毕业于鞍山师范学院，获得幼儿教育学士学位。我的教学理念是：“将自己变成一个孩子，才能走到孩子们心里去。”期待与您的合作，共同为孩子们的成长保驾护航！

Feng Laoshi

Mandarin Teacher

I’m Teacher Feng Dandan, from China — a graduate of Tonghua Normal University majoring in Early Childhood Education, with four years’ experience. I believe every child is unique, with their own pace, so I emphasise personalised teaching — designing activities around each child’s interests and encouraging hands-on exploration. My philosophy is “growing in love and freedom”: children should feel the warmth of home while learning and building social skills in a relaxed, joyful atmosphere. I deeply value the Reggio Emilia approach and home–school cooperation.

我是 Feng Dandan 老师，来自中国，毕业于通化师范学院学前教育专业，至今已有4年的幼儿教育工作经验。我的教学理念是“在爱与自由中成长”，希望孩子们在幼儿园感受到家的温暖，同时在轻松愉快的氛围中学习知识、培养社交能力。

Xing Laoshi

Mandarin Teacher

Hello everyone! I’m Teacher Xing, with five years of experience in early childhood education. I believe every child has an innate curiosity and spirit of exploration, so I place great emphasis on nurturing children’s self-exploration — creating an environment full of discovery, where children learn freely and grow through hands-on practice.

大家好！我是邢老师，一名拥有五年幼儿教学经验的老师。我相信每个孩子都有天生的好奇心和探究精神，希望为孩子们营造一个充满探索和发现的环境，让他们在自由中学习，在实践中成长。

Wei Ran Laoshi

Mandarin Teacher

I’m Teacher Wei Ran, from Shandong, China — a graduate of Qufu Normal University with twelve years of rich teaching experience. I love working with children and being part of my team, and I’m delighted to learn and play with the children every day. I care for and encourage each child, paying close attention to their emotional development and teaching to each child’s needs — so they come to love Chinese: happy to speak, willing to speak, daring to speak, and able to write!

我是魏然老师，来自中国山东，本科毕业于曲阜师范大学，有十二年丰富的教学经验。我会悉心照顾、关爱并鼓励每位孩子，注重孩子内心发展，因材施教，让孩子喜欢华文，爱说、想说、敢说、会写！

Maggie Laoshi

Mandarin Teacher

Hello everyone! I’m your early childhood education partner with over ten years of teaching experience. To me, education isn’t just transmitting knowledge — it’s an incredible journey of exploration and growth alongside children. I believe the parent–child relationship is at the heart of education, and that every child has a unique “superpower”: we celebrate the shining points of their personalities, not just their achievements. My teaching emphasises inquiry-based learning — children express themselves freely while teachers guide them — using drawing, storytelling and games to build critical thinking joyfully.

大家好！我是您的幼儿教育伙伴，拥有十年以上的教学经验。我始终坚信亲子关系是教育的核心，也相信每个孩子都有独特的“超级能力”。我的教学注重探究式学习，通过绘画、故事和游戏，让学习变得生动有趣。

Miyoko Sensei

Japanese Teacher

Hello, and thank you for your interest in our school. My career began in Japan in vocational training and career counselling, supporting job seekers from all walks of life. In exploring how best to help people live authentically, I studied widely — becoming a Senior Counsellor with the Japan Industrial Counselors Association and a Career Consultant with the Nikkei Federation, and training in NLP, social and assertion training, and focusing.

I later worked between Singapore and Japan and have spent over a decade as a Japanese-language teacher. I’m convinced the most essential quality in today’s uncertain world is resilience — the ability to adapt and thrive in any situation. Through my classes I hope to support not just language learning but resilience: helping children value themselves, communicate in their own way, and design their own lives. My hobby is Aikido, and I look forward to sharing many experiences with our little ones.

皆様、はじめまして。数ある学校の中から当校にご関心をお持ちいただき、厚くお礼申し上げます。これからの不確定な世の中で一番大切なのは、レジリエンス（どんな状況でもしなやかに生きる力）だと確信しております。趣味は合気道です。小さなお友達といろいろな体験ができたら嬉しいです。
