Building good habits in students was most crucial in kindergarten education
For MY Wong, the most important thing in kindergarten education was habit building in students. Some may think that students simply played with wooden blocks at the kindergarten, but MY Wong pointed out that wooden blocks not only promoted fine motor development, but also instill in children the habits of putting objects back to where they were stored and putting chairs down in a quiet manner.

Teachers at True Light Kindergarten built better living habits in students through home visit
The prime objective of the home visits made by True Light Kindergarten's teachers were to learn about students’ habits at home and give suggestions on improvement. For example, if a student refused to remain seated during lessons, it would be very likely that he had stayed up too late at night. If a child lay his head on the desk, it would mean that he was sick, and the teacher would suggest that the parents have the child sleep half an hour early every day.
