TCH Mont Kiara has been designed with a modern corporate look, with plenty of glass, soft lighting and open areas and little touches here and there to remind us that this was a preschool. Once you walk through the big red double glass doors of TCH Mont Kiara you will enter into a treasure trove of Montessori teaching and learning resources. This is a ‘prepared environment’ where every area is purposefully designed and fully equipped with complementary Montessori materials to cater to the needs of each individual child, be it physical, social, emotional, intellectual or creative. Everything is designed to induce and nurture independent learning and exploration. However, what is really impressive about TCH Mont Kiara is the atmosphere of passion, exuberance and spontaneity that permeates the whole preschool. There are plans to have their very own in-house play therapist and even a special ‘Comfort Room’. In its entirety, the programme at TCH nurtures self-esteem, a sense of belonging and community, independence, social awareness and an inner discipline which will carry the children through their later stages in life - reinforcing the maxim that the Montessori programme truly prepares a child for life.
