“Preschool Market is privileged to partner with EDT&Partners as their knowledge expert for the preschool sector,” said Dr. Su Fen Cheong. “Through this collaboration, we look forward to connecting global resources with local stakeholders, ensuring educational frameworks remain relevant and effective. Together, we can foster impactful collaborations that prepare young learners for a brighter future.”

- Create practical frameworks and toolkits, equipping educators, leaders, and parents to thoughtfully incorporate the effective and responsible use of technology in education from an early age.

“We are honored to partner with Preschool Market in this shared mission to advance early education, build on best practices and guide the educational community, starting with parents and teachers” said Josep M. Mas, VP of Consulting and Partner (APAC) at EDT&Partners. “In particular, it is our duty to empower our children to become responsible, mindful and skilled users of technology from an early age. By actively engaging with and guiding the educational community — rather than avoiding or banning technology — we can lay the foundation for its positive and intentional use. Now is the time to define core, foundational concepts and thoughtfully integrate them into early years teaching and learning, ensuring children are equipped for the future.”
