At Blue House Preschool, we offer half day, full-day care as well as an innovative, enriching early years’ experience. A place for your child to explore their curiosity and creativity whilst working alongside qualified educators.
Nature is a holistic “educator” and provides a space that children naturally ground themselves in, feeding their natural curiosity and allowing them to then bring their learning back into the classroom. All of this is right at our doorstep at Blue House Kay Siang which boasts private access to a space we call our Community Park.
Physical development benefits to learning outdoors
A child who learns in nature will build a healthier stronger body and immunity. They will also benefit from unassisted motor development by learning how to balance, make judgements about how to climb a tree safely and over time, develop a natural risk awareness that children who are overly protected from nature will never gain. They learn how to keep themselves and their friends safe.
Calming effects of being in nature
Nature grounds and calms a child, which fosters a growth mindset. They are free to explore and discover what interests them meaning a far richer learning experience. They become Nature-Connected and guardians of the natural environment that is their “third teacher”. Blue House offers a safe space to self-regulate, and by being exposed to age-appropriate risky play scenarios, the child gains in confidence, self-esteem and resilience.
Integrated learning within nature
A dramatic/role play in a natural space can develop child’s vocabulary beyond that of simply learning in a classroom and can also promote richer numeracy, science, geography, arts and crafting skills when they learn in an experiential holistic way at the child’s own pace. An unhurried integrated learning approach set within the great outdoors at different times of the day at Blue House.
Personal/Social Development
Exploring and discovering in nature as a group, or individually encourages a child to learn how to engage and interact with others in a safe real-world setting. They often become more aware of others’ feelings, becoming kinder, more compassionate.
Sensory Development
There is no better environment than nature within which to develop the 7 senses and to safely travel through the essential schematic development needed in early years. Often, children with identified sensory challenges can level out significantly faster through outdoor nature play sessions and their strengths. The natural world is fully inclusive and beckons us to meander through its wonderful lushness, here at Blue House.
This year ANZA Netball entered our first team in the SCC Ladies League. Our U16/17 players were thrilled to join the ladies league and played midweek matches in the evening next to the Padang. The ANZA team finished undefeated in the first round and were promoted to Division 2.
Giving back is rewarding
There’s a small army of volunteers working behind the scenes to keep everything running smoothly, and they’re always smiling like Karen and Sally below.
Bakesales rule!
Each ANZA Perth team held a bake sale to help these lucky girls on their way to Australia. Getting involved promoted team spirit, club culture, and the joy of fundraising. The picture on the left (above) shows our Under 12 cohort.
Fitness comes first
Netball is a great way to keep fit, especially for older girls who may need a break from studies! This is the U16 Perth team playing against Sports Ready.
Community is everything
ANZA Netball is led by parent volunteers with a mix of professional and parent coaches. It simply could not happen without their combined efforts and constant dedication throughout the season, year on year.
Great skills require dedication & effort
In preparation for Perth, the U12 teams went on a mission to increase their fitness. The players were invited to turn up early before netball training and they did! Our amazing volunteer coaches ensured they received a proper workout.
It’s not all hard work
An U12 team enjoy a bbq and swim after sweating it out on the court (above). Lots of fun for everyone!
Staying cool is key
This U11 team (below) planned ahead and engaged in a water fight with their coaches after a tough match in the Sports Ready Round Robin Tournament on a hot day. We don’t blame them!
Never give up
As the U14 SGNA Quad Series Champions, our U14 Perth team put in a fabulous effort and remained undefeated after playing a gruelling day in the heat.
You’re never too young for a challenge
Our youngest players have fun at training, working on a range of skills to help them with fitness, ball skills and agility. They also take on challenges and play games to keep it upbeat. Many friendships formed in these early days of netball have endured throughout the years.
Cake is always a good idea!
Need energy before a match? Want to console yourself for not playing as well as you’d hoped? Pah! Netball cupcakes, like the ones pictured above, right, from the bakesale work for every occassion!

“Tam, Tania, Vicki and I met at an ANZA Ladies Night event in February 2019. We just all really clicked, so we swapped numbers. Tam invited Jenny and Franca joined us shortly
after that.
My life as an expat in Singapore has been greatly enriched by our friendship because we have shared so many fun times together: ANZA day and night walks, boot camps, dancing, looking for crocodiles in Sungei Buloh, meals and drinks in and out, spa days, boat trips – the list goes on!
We are very different people in some ways, but we all share a similar sense of humour and similar values. Franca, Jenny and I are naturally quieter, while Vicki and Tam are more extroverted. Tania keeps everyone very well organised, and we all have strong opinions which makes for interesting chats!
We also feel really safe with each other which is important, especially when you live away from home. We can say anything and share whatever’s going on for us, knowing that we’ve got each other’s backs. We’ve all been through our ups and downs in Singapore, especially during Covid. For example, when my mother died and I was stuck in a quarantine hotel in New Zealand for two weeks, Zoom (with wine!) calls, texts and phone calls from these lovelies saved my sanity and brought us closer. As restrictions slowly eased we started a Friday lunch tradition where we would go to one another’s houses for lunch that often lasted until 9 or 10pm! We themed the lunches to keep them interesting: 70s party, Irish, Greek, Autumn, Blue, and so on. We’d wear themed outfits, and prepare themed food and decorations to keep our spirits up.
I think friendships as an expat can develop at a quicker pace because practically no-one has extended family or long-term friends here. You instantly have this fact in common. The downside to being able to form such strong relationships is that people move on, which is heartbreaking, but then you have friends for life spread across the world, which is a great thing in itself.
Tam and I, as the only ones in the group left in Singapore, still catch up regularly. We all have a WhatsApp group which we use regularly to chat and post photos, stupid jokes and memes, and we catch up by Zoom when we can make the time zones work.
I want to thank my beautiful friends for coming into my life and for making my time on this little red dot so much more enjoyable. Thank you for all the laughter, support, tears, colourful (and sometimes indignant) conversations, and fabulous experiences together. You are all so incredibly special to me and I love you to bits.”
“We will be mates for life”

“Pete and I met in Singapore at the same time as a few other blokes of about the same age, pretty soon after I arrived on the island four and a half years ago. We all loved ANZA Cycling and riding and travelling with our bikes for races in the region or further overseas. When the pandemic hit soon after we met, we all kept each other sane with a lot of bike rides, often followed by a few convivial ales!
Many of the blokes including Pete left during Covid but the friendships have endured. We still enjoy catching up in various parts of the world to have a ride and a beer. We stay in touch on a chat named ‘Castros Cigar Club’! Pete and the other mates I’ve made through ANZA will be mates forever; having that strong social connection with cycling made life interesting in Singapore.”

When Mike Tay and Eugene Yip moved to an old apartment in Tiong Bahru in 2003, they unexpectedly found themselves on the start of a design journey. Entranced by the surrounding architecture with art-deco influences and the options for authentic local food, Mike, a TV station sales manager at the time, took up photography to capture everyday encounters. Something of a new passion developed out of his curiosity, leading him to start experimenting with immortalising his pictures on posters.
Meanwhile Eugene, who ran a small advertising agency, was also inspired by his new environment. Interacting with local craftsmen and tradespeople while renovating their apartment deepened his interest in good design for homes.
Twenty years on, and with corporate jobs long gone, Mike and Eugene are the proud founders and owners of Onlewo, an interior design company that you’re already likely to be familiar with, but perhaps don’t realise it. Onlewo (which means ‘peaceful, happy nest’ in Cantonese) was conceived in 2015. The name works, Mike says, because “that is what I hope my design journey will bring to me and what my designs will bring to people’s homes.”
Today they stock over 30 products including home décor, gifts, and lifestyle and fashion accessories, with more exciting projects in the pipeline. Their beautiful pieces have become synonymous with Singapore. We chat to Mike about doing a job pivot, his thought process, and why feeling rather than thinking can often create magic.
From left Onlewo’s City in A Garden and Singapore Orchid Garden prints
Onlewo is such an identifiable brand in Singapore. How have your products evolved?
Onlewo started with just posters. When we discovered more production partners, our products grew quickly and often; we also introduce new products because customers ask us to, and not all are produced or displayed. To choose one favourite piece is really tough!
How often do you introduce a new piece?
It depends. We juggle commissioned projects and other activities between the two of us. On average, I create one to two new prints per quarter, plus a variety of colourways for each print. Colour seems easy, but creating layered and tasteful colourways takes a good amount of time. We’ve just added a full-time seamstress to our team so now we’re focusing on fabric for new apparel and gifting. Two exciting new products are our bone china tray and Singapore Journal which will have a cool Singapore spin to the pages!
Please talk us through your design process …
I don’t start with much intention when designing as I’m guided more by feelings. When I start designing, I tend to wander, and I allow myself to. Through doing this, I often discover perspectives and layers that add sparks to the combination of colours and forms. Perhaps as self-taught designers, we design with a lot less of a pre-defined processes, be it for pattern, product, furniture or interior design. We feel our way rather than think our way through. Usually, I create the pattern first and then apply it on fabric, wallpaper, or other materials as we feel good about.
What inspires your work?
I look to nature which is very generous for both inspiration and my soul. Nestling in nature, I feel rooted again while at the same time, free. My mind clears up, my inner voice grows more audible, and my story becomes more distinctive. That’s perhaps the only process I can describe as after that, my designing becomes just a matter of letting my heart flow.

Tell us the story behind some of your pieces …
‘Peranakania’ was created when I was missing my mum. She is strong and yet tender, somewhat matriarchal, and like a friend to me. On an evening walk, I was reminiscing about how Mum was so in charge of life and yet displayed fragility. The creation of ‘Peranakania’ is a process that weaved together nostalgia, love and admiration of this special person who strived simply to be the best mother she could be.
You also weave elements together in surprising ways …
‘Orchid Legacy’ is another deeply satisfying design where I injected Peranakan tiles within orchids. Both are well known, well-loved and common Singapore elements. Orchids are such an apt representation of Singapore as they can thrive beautifully despite not having deep roots in natural resources. To me, fusing orchids with Peranakan tiles is a celebration of Singapore’s natural and human heritage at a simple level. At a deeper level, it’s an expression of how elegantly this city has been crafted and how nature has rewarded the effort.
We love how some of your Singapore elements are more playful …
Yes, ‘Our Peranakan Town’ print and my way of seeing Katong and Joo Chiat is an example of this. I expressed the Peranakan-ness and quirkiness of this charming district through motifs found on old building facades. However, as I live, eat, shop and work in this area too, there’s a realness or relevance in this pattern to me and to many other fellow Easties. The liveliness of the neighborhood offers a lot of suggestions of modern life, which is why I blended in images of a yoga lady and a skateboarder to express that mix of heritage and modernity.
How do you and Eugene divide up your roles?
Most things fall naturally into place. We are each drawn towards different interests and that helps determine roles to large extent. My flair in pattern design puts me in the drivers’ seat for creative output. Eugene is keen on business thinking, so he takes on that side of the work. Our dog Mei Mei is a bundle of joy, and she fits her ‘customer happiness’ role to a T!
Onlewo has collaborated with some impressive brands. Which are you most proud of?
Our recent works with Bvlgari,Patek Philippe and the Republic of Singapore Navy are very memorable. We designed highly customised patterns to tell the stories and created bespoke gifts for their VVIPs. The pattern for Bvlgari is infused with Bvlgari jewelry from ‘Diva’s Dream’, ‘Serpenti’, ‘Lady Rubellite,’ ‘Divine Palm’ and our ‘Wonder Peacock’ series and arranged into a motif with a tinge of Peranakan flavour. For Patek Philippe, we rendered the national flowers of six countries within a garden cluster and expressed the pattern on velvet fabric covering a wooden mahjong chest. For the Singapore Navy, we created a bone china plate design that emulated Singapore’s peace and prosperity, as well as the resilient and expansive friendship Singapore enjoys with other countries.

How do these partnerships come about?
Opportunities to work with these very admired brands happened because of referrals. Someone telling someone about Onlewo has always been the way we’ve grown, especially in the last six years, not only at a retail level but also at a corporate level. We’re so very thankful that many customers generously share about us to their friends. This very privileged and powerful marketing channel is a godsend.
Who would you most love to collaborate with? ASICS, because I enjoy tennis and their shoes fit very well for Asians. Also, Onitsuka Tiger. Their shoes are light, easy to wear with no laces, come in great colours, and I’m a big fan.
What are your hopes for Onlewo in the future?
To cultivate our design DNA further and open shops in places like Kyoto and Bali. The joy of discovering heritage, engaging with local craftsmen, learning from another culture and exploring new design expressions is a privilege we hope to have. We want Onlewo to always be a brand with provenance, so heritage and culture will forever remain at the heart of the stories we love to tell through patterns. Immersing ourselves in soulful new landscapes will be humbling, refining and rewarding, and it will still be curiosity that takes us there.
What would you recommend first-time buyers to Onlewo look out for?
Come visit us at our store in Joo Chiat and discover the spirit of Peranakan through sampling the foods, visiting the private museum, discovering the charm of shophouses and picking up something for your home from our range of Peranakan-inspired runners, cushion covers and plates. Specifically, our linen cotton notebook is nice to hold, the fabric cover is reuseable, and it will last a long time.

Many dentists are big fans of dental sealants for kids. And that’s because there is a lot of research that supports their effectiveness. In fact, the CDC in the United States has reported that kids aged 6 to 11 without sealants have three times the number of molar cavities as those who have them.[1]
While making sure your child keeps up with their oral hygiene is the best way to protect their teeth from cavities, it can be difficult to clean every place in your child’s mouth. This is especially true for the back teeth that we use to chew, called molars. If food gets left in your child’s teeth, the sugars from the food mixes with the bacteria in the plaque creating a mild acid. This mild acid can break down the outermost layer of the tooth, called enamel. Tooth enamel is important because it helps protect your teeth from damage, such as a cavity (also known as dental caries).
Why cavities should be prevented
Dental cavities can cause pain and infections, as well as interfere with a child’s daily life. Untreated cavities can lead to a dental abscess, which is a bacterial infection inside the teeth, gums, or bone that holds the teeth in place. Eventually this can spread to other parts of the body.
Doesn’t fluoride help prevent cavities?
Yes! Using appropriate fluoride toothpaste and treatments can help prevent cavities in children. But remember that sealants and fluoride work differently: fluoride prevents cavities by strengthening enamel, while sealants create a protective coating over the tooth.
Dental sealants can be an added level of protection
The CDC lists the following reasons why dentists should use sealants for kids:
Dental sealants are a quick and painless way to prevent most of the cavities children get in the permanent back teeth. 9 in 10 cavities occur in this part of the mouth.
Dental sealants protect against 80% of cavities for 2 years and continue to protect against 50% of cavities for up to 4 years
Sealants help eliminate the need for expensive and invasive dental treatments

When does my child need dental sealants? How long do they last?
Dental sealants are most often recommended for children when their permanent molars grow in. First molars typically start appearing around age 6, and second molars usually come through at around age 12. Dental sealants can be put on baby teeth, but this is usually not done since the teeth will eventually shed.
Dental sealants generally last for five to ten years. During normal function, they will wear down and gradually fall off.
What is the process for dental sealants in children?
Getting dental sealants is easy and does not hurt!
A dental checkup that includes x-rays and cleaning to ensure the sealants are being placed on healthy teeth.
After the teeth are examined and cleaned, the dentist preps the surfaces by applying a gel that the sealant resin will stick to. The patient rinses and then the teeth are allowed to dry completely.
The dentist applies the sealant liquid with a small brush and uses a curing light to help speed up the drying process.
Once the sealants have been placed, the dentist will perform a “bite check”, to make sure the bite has not significantly changed and the sealants feel comfortable.
