Singapore's MOE Kindergarten @ Mayflower, established in response to the Ministry of Education's announcement, supports children with hearing loss by providing an inclusive learning environment. The kindergarten, within Mayflower Primary School, utilizes Singapore Sign Language to facilitate communication. The center's head, Melina Chen, and her team initially worried about communication but were reassured by ministry representatives. The kindergarten has seen improvements in communication and inclusion over time, with hearing children learning sign language from their friends with hearing loss. However, parents of children with hearing loss have expressed challenges in learning sign language due to its newness.
