It was wonderful to be back at Playeum in December for their Content Creator’s Night, which saw many parents, educators and various organisations which worked with children come together to talk about play.
As part of the evening, we posed the question, “what are the barriers to children’s play?” for participants to discuss in their breakout focus group. We also enjoyed working with all of you playful people, see you all soon!

'What you cannot create, you do not understand.’ - Richard Feynman
‘Million More Discoveries’ by Chapter Zero goes live at ArtScience Museum today! Our play space is inspired by Nobel Prize winning physicist, Richard Feynman. It features 5 stations, lots of loose parts (thanks to the generous contributions of people who responded to our call for reusable materials online), and 3 days of play, creativity and exploration.
Take a look at the pictures to see what we have been up to! With the irreplaceable support of our friends Alyna (from The Learning Caravan), Chien Yu, and our families, we are excited to bring to you, ‘Million More Discoveries’! We are part of Science Flair which features many other fun activities over this three-day event!

We wrapped up our NVC workshops with Dorset on parenting and Transforming Anger on November 7!
The Transforming Anger workshop provided practical tools as to how one can transform their anger into a healthy and compassionate way to communicate how your needs (and the needs of others!) can be met.
We hope we are able to host more workshops with Dorset and NVC in the future!

‘When our attention is on the present and our intention is to connect with the other person without judgment, they receive the message that they are cared about.’
We attended two days of Nonviolent Communication (NVC, also called Compassionate Communication) Foundations Training by Dorset Campbell-Ross! 30 of us got together to learn the language of life - connecting with ourselves with compassion, receiving others with empathy, and expressing ourselves honestly. We shared moments of vulnerability, fun and connection over the weekend, and we are so happy to see the NVC community in Singapore growing

We had the honour of conducting a full day workshop - ‘The Role of Educators in Supporting Toddlers’ - for a group of educators from E-Bridge Preschool last Thursday. We’re very thankful for the opportunity to share and learn together!
Here’s what one of the participants said about the workshop: ‘The workshop allowed me to reflect on my own childhood experiences and relate to the actions/triggers in me as an adult. It was also an opportunity for the teachers to reflect on their classroom practices and how their children learn best. There were a lot of aha! moments for me.’ - Irliana Tay

Here are some scenes from Wen’s Nature Play Workshop for parents and educators today. It was a child-friendly workshop at National Museum’s Salon. The large space made it possible for children to play while the adults learn. All in all, it was a fun and educational experience for all!

We had the privilege of spending the entire day with 40 passionate infant educarers at E-Bridge Pre-School in Punggol for their Professional Development Day.
Together, we learnt about how infants moved, played, formed attachments with their caregivers, and how we can be more empathetic with the children we care for and each other. All of you have such incredibly important jobs, and we are grateful you came with open hearts and minds.

Together with certified Nutritionist and Division of Responsibility trainer, Shalyn Yamanaka of Simply Nutrition, we shared about eating and what that looks like for babies at our 15 August “Being with Baby” workshop. Eating is a pleasurable event and need not be filled with unpleasant memories, and we introduce our culture and family values to the our children when we eat and share food together.

Chapter Zero's first ever Play-Full Weekend saw play advocates come together at "Play, Adventure & Risk-Taking", an insightful and engaging workshop by Pop-Up Adventure Play's Suzanna Law.
This was followed by a play-filled weekend with two Pop-Up Adventure Playgrounds at Playeum and Clementi Woods Park respectively. We had a blast organising the events for the weekend and a wonderful time meeting families who came down to play. See you at our next Pop-Up!

We were very excited to invite parents with young children to our very first Mindful Morning, a free event organized in collaboration with Stork's Nest Singapore.
The program included talks about a mindful and evidence-based approach to parenting by our expert Dr Penny Tok Reddish and International Medical Clinic's Dr Foong Tsin Uin.
A beautiful play space for babies and toddlers was curated by Playhao, and children were invited to join in for a capoeira music jam. Our partners, Expat Insurance, The Garden House Preschool, The Mindful Company and Playhao were also there!
