From Development Centre to Educational Solutions: A Legacy of Supporting Learners
Our story began in 2011 with Olive Tree Development Center (OTDC), under the stewardship of Loo Kwong Chiu. From the beginning, OTDC was built around a simple but important purpose: to support children who needed more than a conventional classroom approach to learn, participate, and progress.
Over the years, OTDC served children with a wide range of developmental and learning needs through programmes focused on early intervention, communication, learning, school readiness, and educational support. This experience shaped our understanding that a child who struggles with reading, writing, mathematics, attention, or classroom participation may also be dealing with gaps in language, memory, processing, self-regulation, or other foundational skills.
As the NEEDS of our learners evolved, so did we!
The EVOLUTION to OLIVE TREE EDUCATIONAL SOLUTIONS
Olive Tree Educational Solutions (OTES) continues this legacy with a stronger focus on school-age learners and the academic demands they face in their current school setting.
While we continue to work with children with neurodevelopmental conditions and specific learning difficulties and disorders, our aim is to help learners move from struggling to succeeding by understanding what is making learning difficult and building the skills they need to cope more effectively with school.
OTES sits in the space between tuition and therapy. We begin by understanding why a learner is finding a particular area difficult. We look beyond the immediate academic struggle to identify the foundational skills that may be affecting performance. From there, we provide structured teaching that develops both the underlying skills and their application to real academic demands.
The goal is not simply to help a child complete today's worksheet. It is to build the foundations that make future learning more accessible, meaningful, and increasingly independent.
Our commitment behind our work remains the same: to understand the learner, build the right foundations, and help every child engage more successfully with the demands of school.
Where Every Child’s Learning Needs Matters
We exist to EMPOWER children with different learning needs and neurodevelopmental disorders to grow, learn and thrive, from their earliest developmental years through school and into life.
We IDENTIFY the root of each child's challenges and respond with evidence-based, multisensory teaching and a personalised learning plan, so every child is equipped for what lies ahead,
not just the next test.
We WALK alongside parents at every transition, and we equip mainstream and SPED teachers with practical, research-backed training and resources, so that every classroom and community
can understand, include and support children who learn differently.
