In 1956, Master Hsing Yun founded and established the first Ci Ai kindergarten in Yilan (Taiwan), taking the first step in cultivating talents and learning.

Master Hsing Yun gradually builds an established education system in Taiwan and abroad. Fo Guang Shan (Singapore) continues Master Hsing Yun’s philosophy of “cultivating talents through education” and opened the first childcare education center, Ci Ai Education Incubator locally.

​

Fo Guang Shan (Singapore) believes in fostering talents through early childhood education. Ci Ai Education Incubator started this mission by providing Playgroup programme since January 2011 to toddlers, age between 18 months and 3 years old.

     
 Since 1st April 2013, Ci Ai Education Incubator has successfully operated as a Voluntary Welfare Organisation (VWO) Child Care Centre. The Centre was relocated to the void decks at Blk 621A and 621B of the Housing Development Board (HDB) flats at Punggol. The Centre has the capacity to enrol 74 children, age 18 months to 6 years old.

 

CI AI Education Incubator advocates on the Three Acts of Goodness in education. They are “Do good deeds”, “Speak good words” and “Think good thoughts”. At Ci Ai Education Incubator, children are taught to emulate positive attitude, positive moral values and good habits.
