Our Story
We are NUS psychology graduates with a shared passion for child development and education. Through our experiences in teaching and developmental psychology, we’ve seen firsthand how academic competency is the primary focus in MOE schools, while developmental needs—such as emotional resilience, social adaptability, and cognitive flexibility—often take a backseat.
This gap inspired us to create The Developmental Lab—a space where we prioritize the holistic development of children. Our programs integrate scientific, research-backed approaches to build emotional intelligence, social confidence, and cognitive growth, ensuring that children develop into well-rounded individuals prepared for life’s challenges.
We aim to make developmental psychology practical and accessible by bridging scientific research with everyday parenting, equipping parents with science-backed, actionable tools to support their child’s cognitive, emotional, and social development.
