There is something quietly remarkable about mothers who rise before dawn, prepare their children for the day, and then step into a classroom ready to care for young children.

Ms Nor Sarina Sarifi is one of them. A mother of three and Senior Preschool Educator at Iyad Perdaus Child Development at Choa Chu Kang with over a decade in the sector, she finds meaning in helping children to achieve developmental milestones and in the gratitude she receives from parents. These remind her that being an educator is not just a job – it’s a calling.

Looking ahead, Ms Sarina stays hopeful, encouraged by growing support for educators’ well-being and professional growth. Her advice to fellow educators: Take your breaks, set your boundaries, but don't stop. You are doing something remarkable.
