Lycia Yam Li Ping
Principal
Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Education
Lycia’s belief as an Early Childhood Educator is to inspire the children to not only discover their potential as individuals, but to also grow in character to become independent and confident learners with a deep love for learning. All these can only happen through close collaborations with their first teachers; Parents, towards the goal to prepare them not just for school, but for life.
