Metta Student Care Centres
 

Programmes & Services
Jointly spearheaded by Metta and Community Development Councils (CDCs) of the South East and North East districts, our centres offer quality yet affordable care services to children aged seven to 14 from various races, religions and socio-economic backgrounds.

The SE CDC-Metta Student Care Centre was first established in September 1998, whereas the North East CDC-Metta Student Care Centre commenced in June 2001. Our primary sources of funding come from Metta and the service fees that we charge.

Able to accommodate 120 and 90 pupils respectively, both centres provide regular student care services as well as emergency care service for walk-in parents whose children require temporary supervision.

Fee subsidies are given to low-income families by the CDCs.

 

Integrated Curriculum
In line with our mission to provide the best possible care for our students, we offer diverse learning opportunities that cater for different types of learners.

Fulfilling our primary aim to nurture them into confident individuals with a positive attitude towards learning are structured programmes that provide academic support and enrichment skills.

The former includes supervision of homework, reinforcement of school curriculum through graded worksheets, group discussions and remedial lessons.

At the same time, enrichment programmes like arts and crafts, speech and drama, storytelling, music and dancing develop their interests and talents beyond academia to promote strategic thinking, creativity and valuable life skills.

Encouraging personal exploration through recreation and play are sports and team-building activities, educational visits and nature trips.

Developing their IT competency are programmes that teach them how to acquire, evaluate, organise, interpret and communicate information through technology.

Under the presence of a conducive environment, our pupils learn to network with other peers, share their experiences and enhance each other's educational goals.

They are also given abundant opportunities to participate actively in community outreach programmes, which facilitate the inculcation of a strong value system in them.
