We found 14 places in Singapore where the kids can experience snow! From fake snow play to foam snowfall and even the real stuff (okay not real, real as in falling from the sky but real icy cold snow!) here's where to go for a white Christmas in town! ❄️ Link in bio for full pricing and timings. ↖️

"Both of my kids attend a parent co-operative pres

"Both of my kids attend a parent co-operative preschool. We take turns with cleaning and dishwashing duties. This way the school can use its resources to do more for your child, mainly spending on resources like pedagogy, food and staff. It can be pretty exhausting to spend an extra 3 hours cleaning the school in the evening after a day at work. But what I value is how it nurtures a strong sense of community and trust among parents, children, and the staff. There’s something genuinely humble about it that I find quite special.⁠
⁠
Children take their naps outdoors, all year round, and they do it in strollers. It’s not a practice at every school, but it’s something my children’s school does. Rain or shine, even when it’s as cold as -20 degrees outside, the kids have their naps outdoors. This might seem unusual, but it’s actually a long-standing tradition deeply rooted in Nordic countries. They believe it has several benefits, including providing fresh air, improving the quality of sleep, and boosting the immune system.⁠
⁠
What I love most about the education system in Sweden is that it always centres around the child’s pace, emphasizing outdoor activities and play. My 7-year-old still isn’t reading or writing, but that’s perfectly okay. The focus is primarily on play-based learning, socialization, and building essential foundational skills. I remember during our first parent-teacher, most of the questions were directed to my child, not us. They asked things like, “Do you feel safe at school?” “Do you have friends you play with?”, “Do you feel safe at home?” It was quite refreshing to see the emphasis on the child’s perspective and well-being.⁠
⁠
Kids here are on equal footing with adults, their opinions are valued from a young age. This approach fosters a sense of independence, responsibility, and self-confidence. The downside is that you can end up with kids who might call the shots on what they eat, what they want to do, and when they feel like sleeping. It can be a challenge to strike that balance.'⁠

Did you know that Sassy Mama is an all-women team? We are mostly all mamas too — plus three of our team are currently pregnant — one, Aisyah our newest writer only found out she was pregnant at 5 months! Most of us have at least two kiddos so we walk the talk here — we strive to bring you all the good stuff in SG, that's been mama-approved!⁠
⁠
Our Managing Editor Beate, mama of two, has been writing for Sassy Mama since 2014 (that's a lot of posts about what to do with kids!) while another of our writers Cherilyn, mama of two littlies celebrates her one-year anniversary with us this week! ⁠
⁠
We are a diverse bunch of long-time expats and Singaporeans with different backgrounds from different countries, spanning different generations (the youngest on the team Aida, our fab designer is a Gen Z can you believe it? We often need to google her acronyms).⁠
⁠
Carlijn (from Holland), as well as Hema and Sharon (both true blue Singaporeans), make up our Partnerships team and bring lots of fun to our meetings. Our CEO Emilie power mama of two teens (yes, she's warned us!) is based in HK but has close ties here having lived here a decade. ⁠
⁠
Our days are very full (there's so much that goes into a website that you don't see on social media — sadly it's not just playground visits and new cafe spotting!) and colleagues like Michell, mama of two, and Yvonne (mama of one with number two on the way) are our superpower boosters!⁠
⁠
Our common goal is to create a community for you lot to share your stories, hear from others so you don't feel alone, and get tips on all the best stuff in town. ⁠
⁠
So there you have it, a little behind-the-scenes peek at who we are. We thank you our readers for being part of our Sassy Mama tribe.⁠
⁠
A big shoutout to the wonderful Katie for her stunning photos. You made us all feel so at ease — it was such a fun shoot! If any of you are keen to get a family photoshoot in we highly recommend @katiemsperryphotography - quote SASSY to get 10% off your next photoshoot!⁠
