Just like she did for me, I aspired to make a positive impact on children\u2019s lives, so I first joined the field of early childhood education as an educator. I enjoyed the sense of fulfilment developing numerous little minds, but as I grew in the industry, I discovered that I also have a knack for communicating and building positive rapport with parents. So when this opportunity of Enrolment Manager presented itself, I was excited! I saw it as a chance to hone my skills, to help enhance the preschool enrolment experience for more parents and their children.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”2\/5″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\n

Our goal is to provide them with a deeper understanding of Star Learners and how our offerings differ from other preschools. We also collaborate with other HQ departments such as our Brand Experience & Communications and Preschools teams to brainstorm and implement strategies aimed at increasing enrolment.<\/p>\n

Drawing on my own experience as a parent of young children, I recognise the importance of understanding the needs of new parents during the preschool selection journey. Be it conducting virtual tours or addressing their enquiries, I make it a point to empathise with these parents and offer solutions and advice to allay their concerns and anxieties.<\/p>\n

To effectively share with new parents the quality of care and education we offer, I must first be wholeheartedly convinced. With that conviction, I can leverage Star Learners\u2019 reputation in the sector and speak of our child care services with confidence. In my interactions with parents, I\u2019ve observed that they value my enthusiasm and unwavering belief in our programmes, allowing me to play a pivotal role in their decision to choose our preschool.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”padding-4-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][image_with_animation image_url=”11745″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default” margin_top=”0″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”2\/5″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\n

It\u2019s a real challenge for me as I find myself constantly having to dive into numerical data and trying to figure out what it all means. Before I joined the company, I didn\u2019t really have much experience or formal training in analytics. In order to better equip myself with data analytical skills, I would read up and watch online tutorials on data analysis and mastering Microsoft Excel. I\u2019ve also been lucky to have my Reporting Officer, Sharon Lin, who is an incredible mentor to me.

She was really grateful and apologised for her earlier outburst.<\/p>\n

While it wasn\u2019t the most pleasant experience, it was definitely memorable. It pushed me out of my comfort zone and taught me to be a more empathetic listener.
