Behind every great enrichment centre is a heartfelt story. In this Lianhe Zaobao feature, step into the world of Lily and Lenard, the husband-and-wife duo who founded Lil’ but Mighty not just as a business, but as a meaningful extension of their parenting journey.
After five years as a primary school English teacher, Lily made a bold leap — to build something of her own that could combine her passion for teaching with the flexibility of being present for her young family. Today, Lil’ but Mighty has grown into a trusted name with six centres, a team of 32 dedicated teachers, and over 1,000 students islandwide.
But it didn’t come easy. From late-night writing sessions with her son to missed art assignment deadlines, Lily shares honestly about the very real challenges of balancing motherhood and entrepreneurship. Yet, through it all, she and Lenard have never lost sight of their mission: to raise confident English users and support other parents through quality education in a caring environment.
They often say that Lil’ but Mighty is their “fifth child” — and now, they’re ready to grow the family.
✨ Read the full story to find out how Lily and Lenard transformed their passion for parenting and teaching into a thriving education brand — and how you can, too.
🚀 Wondering how to start an education franchise in Singapore?
If you’ve ever dreamed of running a purpose-driven business that nurtures young minds while making a lasting difference in your community, this could be your moment. Lil’ but Mighty is now looking for passionate partners to join their franchise family — individuals who are ready to bring heartfelt English learning to even more children across Singapore and beyond.
Whether you’re a teacher seeking more autonomy, a parent searching for a meaningful venture, or an entrepreneur curious about how to start an education franchise in Singapore, our story might just inspire your next step.
We understand the emotional drive behind this journey — the desire to build something that matters, while staying connected to your values as an educator or parent. That’s why our franchise opportunity is designed to support like-minded individuals every step of the way, from curriculum to training and business guidance.
