La Grande Discovery Kids Child Care Centre (Taska La Grande), Mont Kiara

An Optimal Setting

There are half day and full day programmes up to 3pm that are offered within a comfortably prepared space, designed to mimic a child’s home environment. It is beautifully decorated with murals and displays of children’s works. Classrooms are brightly lit with natural light and well-equipped with plenty of learning materials that encourage children to read and explore. Being situated within secure guarded perimeters, children have the opportunity to head outdoors and learn through their senses. With proper safety procedures and a thorough sanitisation routine in place, especially during times like now, parents can be assured that their children are in good hands.     

Personalised to the Individual Child

At La Grande, teachers are aware that each child has a unique character and individual needs that require personalised attention. Therefore, teacher to child ratios are kept very low in order for children to participate, grow out of their shells and progress with confidence. Teachers observe children’s intellectual requirements and interests, then plan activities that are engaging and developmentally appropriate. They are also sensitive to children’s emotional well-being, providing necessary support needed.

Fun Learning and Diverse Curriculum for Primary School Readiness

Learning here is fun, exciting and filled with discoveries. It adheres to a rich curriculum that maximises children’s full potential in all aspects of their development. Given children’s natural curiosity to explore their environment, teachers make sure to keep things interesting with an array of hands-on activities such as games, stories, role play, songs and exercises that stimulate all senses. This gets the learning juices flowing, children will be driven by their interests to participate and they can easily retain knowledge without feeling like it’s a chore. The next thing they know, they will be armed with a strong set of transferable skills, adaptability and very importantly a strong love of learning that will see them through primary school (private, government or international schools).

While it’s fun and games, teachers stress the importance of maintaining high levels of academic achievement, as well as social competence. They set clear, consistent rules and model appropriate social behaviours allowing children to take responsibility for their choices and learn to respect one another.

As mentioned, all aspects of children’s development are addressed meticulously and that means from inside out – nutrition. Children are fed wholesome homestyle meals that are whipped up in-house with a variety of fresh ingredients.

A Supportive Community

La Grande is not just a child care centre, it’s a community that welcomes a diverse cultural mix of families. They invite parents to be engaged in their children’s learning journey in a meaningful way, including participation in field trips and special events that contribute to treasured memories to keep for many years to come. And they are committed to open, honest communication with parents, providing support whenever required.
