Testimonials by Volunteers

“I got to learn a lot from the incredible teachers and the hands-on experience definitely taught me some very practical skills when working with children with special needs. The teachers whose classes I was assisting in (Teachers Aarthi, Abby, Sha, Precious, and Dee) were very accommodating of me and gave me some great opportunities to contribute to the class. I hope I was able to make their job as teachers a little easier! Thank you for this experience.”

“Although I only volunteered for a short period of time, I learnt a lot from both the kids and teachers. It was extremely eye-opening to experience the types of therapy that is given to the kids and the amount of dedication and commitment the teachers have to each and every child. I loved interacting with the kids on a hands-on level, as this helped me to benefit so much more. I wish I could have volunteered for a longer period of time, but would love to come back again during school holidays.”

“My experience at Dynamics was an enriching and meaningful one. Thank you for having me and giving me the opportunity to observe and interact with both the wonderful students and teachers. EIP teachers are really amazing and inspiring in helping each and every student achieve their fullest potential. Even though, I might have been in Dynamics for a short period of time, I have been exposed to many different areas of expertise such as occupational therapy and sensory play. I am grateful for the hands-on experience and I hope to join the team again in the future should the opportunity arises!”

“Yesterday was my last day volunteering at Dynamics. I had a great experience so far, learned a lot from direct participation, observations and simple discussions with the other teachers. I would like to thank you and the other staff for the enriching opportunity and guidance, and I hope to be able to come back to volunteer again, probably after my exchange programme. Also, after volunteering at Dynamics, I'm starting to consider working with children as a career choice more favourably... Last but not least, I wish that the staff at Dynamics, as well as the kids, will continue to learn, have fun and grow together as they have always had.”

“The internship/volunteering experience I had at Dynamics was eye-opening and meaningful. I was given the opportunity to get up close and personal with the students and built an unforgettable bond with each of them. I got to learn and experience the challenges faced by the professionals and at the same time help make a change to the life of the children in Dynamics. The teachers were welcoming and very willing to share their knowledge about the students which enhanced the entire internship greatly. Even though my internship has officially ended, I definitely will look forward to coming back to the students and also the amazing team!”

“During the five months I volunteered with Dynamics, I was always welcomed into classrooms by dedicated, caring and passionate teachers. I was given the opportunity to move around different classes and to observe a variety of specialist sessions including speech, occupational and sensory play. This vastly enriched my learning experience and I leave feeling very much inspired by Dynamics holistic approach to learning. My experience here has been invaluable, I have learnt so much not only from the teachers but also from the students! Thank you all very much. I highly recommend volunteering with Dynamics, it has been the most rewarding experience I have had since relocating to Singapore.”

“My volunteer experience at Dynamics has been the best hands-on experience I have had by far. The environment at Dynamics was a very friendly and welcoming one that encouraged questions to be asked, and allowed much room for learning. Along with the guidance of the teachers and therapists, we as volunteers, were given a lot of freedom to learn, follow and act as we saw fit in helping each child we interacted with. I am very grateful to have been a part of this volunteer experience as I have learnt a lot in such a short period of time. I do hope to be able to volunteer with Dynamics again in the future, if and when the opportunity arises.”

– Natsumi

“I am really thankful for this opportunity to help out at Dynamics EIP and to be able to learn from the teachers there who are just so passionate in what they do. Their love and care for the children is translated into action as they craft individualised development plans which seek to help each child reach his/her potential. My time spent at Dynamics EIP has been a very meaningful and rewarding one, especially seeing how each child is benefiting from the programme and how much they have developed since the first time I met them. Thank you Dynamics, for giving me this firsthand experience to work with children in an early intervention setting and I truly enjoyed my time here!”

– Abigail

“Being a volunteer at dynamics was eye-opening and engaging. The passion and dedication the teachers have for the children to reach their fullest potential is inspiring! I love how every child’s ability is never underestimated. I had a great and fun time being a volunteer and getting to experience and interact with the teachers, therapists and children on such an immediate and hands-on level. Thank you for having me!”

– Eleanore

“During the short period of volunteering, I definitely gained a lot of insights and learned a lot by interacting with the children, teachers and therapists. I am truly grateful for this volunteering experience, and if I do have the time in the future, I hope that I can still come back to join the team. Once again, thank you for giving me this opportunity, and for also taking care of me during the volunteer sessions. Please do send my regards to the teachers and therapists working in EIP, I definitely had fun interacting and learning from them!”

“Thanks once again for having me at your centre to gain some valuable volunteering experience with the children. I have indeed learnt a lot from both the teachers and the children as well :). As this is my first hands on experience with children, I have seen how practical aids like the PECS have helped them in communicating more effectively with the teachers in expressing themselves!”
