What does it take to be a premium preschool and childcare centre, and a sought-after one at that? Kiddy123 saw it befitting to talk to renowned preschool Kitakids KLCC, for it is apparent that they have exactly what it takes!
The curriculum at Kitakids is an integration of various renowned pedagogies such as Reggio Emilia, Multiple Intelligence Theory, Accelerated Learning and High Scope philosophies which are brought together professionally via a thematic approach of teaching. At first blush, this may seem like a whole lot considering that it is a preschool, attended by little ones, some as young as a couple of months old! However, let’s not forget though that Kitakids are run by professionals - and also of the fact that the founders are parents themselves who are very much involved in the running of their preschools!
Lovingly guided by trained and qualified teachers, children get to grasp concepts and acquire better understanding of what they are taught, while the use of different themes every now and then keep lessons lively and interesting. It has also long been acknowledged and understood at Kitakids that when children get to make connections with their lessons and real life, they are inspired to learn more and more!
Parents today may have a lot on their plate to deal with. But as loving, caring and concerned as they are, hardly any parent would want to provide their child with anything but the best when it comes to their early education - for it is the foundation of which their children’s lives will be built on! Children learn the quickest between the ages of 0-6 years - when their brains are at their most absorbent. The environment which they spend most of their time in during these tender years is crucial for optimal development, and not every household can actually manage to create such an environment for their little one to thrive in. In most cases, a typical home environment is simply not conducive enough for the job, and that is a fact.
Parents who drop their little ones off at a spacious, purpose-designed preschool in the vicinity of KLCC called Kitakids KLCC can be confident that their precious kids will be in the hands of individuals who are dedicated to spending time to help them thrive and flourish. Here, the environment is strategically prepared for optimal learning, whereby their kids will be immersed in forms of play-based learning that allow them to fully enjoy their invaluable childhood years while they learn and grow smarter and more intelligent each day. Such is the power of experiential learning through hands-on experiences and lots of healthy interactions with peers, teachers, staff, etc.
When parents think of preschool/daycare, they can’t help but wonder what else their child will be taught beyond their alphabets and numbers. Parents will be glad to know of the following learning areas covered at Kitakids, and they are: ‘All About Me’, ‘Language & Literacy’, ‘The World Around Me’, ‘Numbers’, ‘Let’s Investigate’, ‘Art & Design’ and ‘Let’s Move.'
As the name suggests, the All About Me segment helps little ones understand more about what makes them unique, and about individuality, including other people and their differences that should be respected. The segment also helps kids build self-confidence and esteem. Language & Literacy goes way beyond what’s expected and via the thematic approach of teaching, children get so much more out of their lessons.
The World Around Me helps children build awareness of their environment and surroundings from a tender age, instilling into them a sense of responsibility towards the planet and all its inhabitants. Through the Numbers segment, Math and Number Awareness are always kept fun and interesting for children, with activities they can relate to.
Showing interest in how things work, and also how nature works are signs of healthy development in children. Let’s Investigate offers kids the opportunity for lots of age-appropriate research, equipping them with probing skills that will be invaluable to them through their learning journey!
Art & Design. Drawing, painting, crafting, molding, story-telling, etc. This particular lesson time will help bring out the creative side of little children, and help uncover hidden potentials too, while Let’s Move ensures that little bodies and minds stay active and healthy through lots of exercise and movement in Kitakids KLCC spacious play area!
KitaKid’s integrated curriculum is delivered progressively from the Early Years group (2 months to 3 years) through Kindergarten (4 years to 6 years). Through a carefully designed thematic approach as well as parental involvement, Kitakids KLCC provides a safe and conducive learning environment - keeping up with today’s urban families’ expectations for their little ones’ early education.
