Our Founder

Michelle’s life journey is a testament to unwavering determination, and the profound transformative power of education and love.

 

Raised in a traditional household, Michelle often felt overlooked and faced strict discipline, leaving an emotional void in her heart. Yearning for the simple joys of childhood and her own toys, she learned to navigate life by avoiding punishment at all costs. At the tender age of 12, Michelle filled out an ambition form, declaring her dream of becoming an preschool teacher. Her aspiration arises from her own longing for a nurturing home she lacked; she dreamed of providing other children a second home with genuinely care.

Due to her challenging upbringing, Michelle developed an introverted and self-doubting personality. Unable to pursue higher education, she found herself lost without a clear sense of direction or purpose. However, a part-time job as a tutor opened her eyes to the boundless joy of teaching young children. This was when the fire within her was reignited. Her true calling—to build that second home, to create a fun and caring environment for kids.

 

Fueled by this newfound passion, Michelle shared her dream with her family. With unwavering support from her family, she embarked on her entrepreneurial journey and took the first of many steps by enrolling in a Diploma in Montessori program. At the same time, she gained invaluable experience as an early childhood educator, further laying the foundation for her dream.

Armed with resilience and her freshly earned diploma in hand, Michelle proudly unlocked the doors of Pink Tower Childcare Centre the very next day. Her remarkable journey, from adversity to inspiration, vividly illustrates the enduring power of dreams.


To this day, her enduring dedication to knowledge continues as she has not only successfully completed a Master’s Program in Education Teaching and Learning. Her ongoing quest is to further grasp the essence of early childhood programs and their profound benefits for young children.
