Who We Are

Preschool Pals Advisors' journey began in 2013 when Eneida and Fiorella met at an event supporting an enrichment program for children and families in Arlington, Virginia, in the United States. Eneida was the executive director of the sponsoring organization, while Fiorella was a youth mentor with her then-boyfriend (now husband). The two friends reconnected in 2018 when Eneida and her husband moved to Singapore, where Fiorella and her family had been living for several years. They quickly bonded over their shared Latin American backgrounds and the experience of raising bilingual, bicultural children in a new cultural environment far from their home countries. The friends leaned on each other as they navigated an unfamiliar landscape to find quality preschools and early education centers for their children. As the close friends supported each other and their children’s educational paths, an idea began to form:

What if they extended their experience and lessons learned on the Singapore preschool system to other expatriate families raising young multilingual, multicultural children in Singapore? And what if they offered their services in English and Spanish?

From these questions, Preschool Pals Advisors emerged.

Driven by the passion of two mothers, Preschool Pals seeks to help expatriate families navigate the wealth of options among the 2,000+ preschools in Singapore, aiming to find nurturing and positive educational environments that honor and cultivate each child's developmental growth.
