Located in USJ, Subang, Beyond Kids Montessori is a thriving and vibrant kindergarten offering up-to-date and comprehensive Montessori Education adapted to the National Curriculum, for children aged from two to six years old.
The school's founder and principal is a qualified Montessorian with professional certifications in Montessori Pedagogy, Special Needs Education and Early Childhood Education.
Despite her cheerful demeanor, she maintains strict discipline and adherence to the school's rules and regulations, and is also meticulous about the children's dietary requirements, hygiene, and security.
All these elements, together with a good and solid foundation in the child’s early education will stand them in good stead when they enter primary school and prepare them for later life.
Holistic programmes that lay strong foundations for a child’s development
The programmes and curriculum at Beyond Kids Montessori are extremely well planned and coordinated, starting from the Toddler Programme for those aged two years, right up to the Kindergarten Programme for children aged five to six years old.
The curriculum closely follows the primary school syllabus (KSSR) to effectively prepare students for the next academic phase. A high-quality after-school care service is also available for families who live nearby and are looking for safe, high-quality care as well as engaging and fun activities for their children.
The kindergarten’s holistic approach emphasises early learning not only in academics but also in social, emotional, and physical development. In their brightly coloured and well-resourced classrooms, children are nurtured to develop friendships, self-esteem, and curiosity, with fun-filled and exciting activities each day that help them make new discoveries. Some of their programmes include:
-
Toddler Programme (2 Years Old): Rooted in the philosophy that hands-on experiences enhance learning, the curriculum combines playtime, education, and nurturing care. Monthly themed units encompass activities that promote confidence, self-esteem, and a love for learning.
-
Preschool Programme (3 Years Old): The Preschool Programme encourages exploration through early learning, dramatic play, music and art. Small groups allow teachers to instil fundamental character-building qualities.
-
Pre-Kindergarten Programme (4 Years Old): This programme aids children in connecting prior knowledge with new information. Activities cultivate decision-making skills and independence, preparing them for kindergarten. Covering cognitive, creative, language, literacy, physical, social and emotional development, the curriculum integrates Montessori core areas and national preschool subjects.
-
Kindergarten Programme (5 to 6 Years Old): Designed to ready children for Primary One, the Kindergarten Programme provides a comprehensive and academically rich experience that encourages exploration, communication, and creativity in a supportive class setting. The curriculum spans reading, language, arts, mathematics, science, social studies, and physical fitness. Educational field trips complement classroom learning, enriching the overall educational journey.
No compromise on safety
An integral part of education today is the well-being and safety of the children. CCTVs are installed in every area throughout the kindergarten. Additionally, the kindergarten has very strict rules on drop off and pick up procedures. Good hygiene is also stressed upon, and each student’s temperature is checked and recorded daily before classes begin, and their hands are also sanitized before entering the premises.
Learning is a lifelong process, even for teachers
Beyond Kids Montessori emphasises the importance of training for its teachers and caregivers. The principal believes in leading by example for optimal results.
Besides in-house training, external trainers from diverse fields such as Classroom Management and Mastering Phonics are also invited to enhance the teaching team’s knowledge and skills. They are also sent to training and refresher courses organised periodically by the Ministry of Education.
Beyond Kids Montessori may just be a transit point in a child’s journey of life. But with a team of passionate teachers, as well as a commitment to continuous improvement, the sky and Beyond really is the limit for each child to reach their fullest potential.
