MindChamps PreSchool, Adda Heights, Johor Bahru

MindChamps PreSchool has been voted the No. 1 Choice by Singapore Parents for 6 Consecutive Years! MindChamps PreSchool is now in Adda Heights, JB, Malaysia. Our full day (8 am – 3 pm) and extended full day (8 am – 6 pm) sessions for 18 months – 6 years old children include enrichment programmes that allow preschoolers to learn life skills in the areas of music, theatre, language and physical activity.

In our pedagogical practice, the S.M.I.L.E.S.™ environment is one of the engagement and security of nurturing and exploration where our children feel secure and confident to thrive in. It prepares the brain for optimal growth and anticipates the future development of the 3-Mind. The acronym S.M.I.L.E.S. stands for: Sensory, Motor (Music and Movement), Intellectual, Linguistic, Emotional and Social. It is a principle which acknowledges that the human brains, in their formative stages, need all aspects of the mind to be stimulated simultaneously – and that all activities contain the potential for providing experiences that engage all of the S.M.I.L.E.S. elements.

By constantly focusing on the creation of S.M.I.L.E.S. activities, the MindChamps teacher becomes a potent source of age-appropriate stimulation for a mind hungry for the building-blocks of intellect and social-emotional development.

At MindChamps PreSchool, it brings the best facilities to your precious little child – holistic programmes that cater to the learning needs of children, low teacher-child ratio and MindChamps Teachers’ Training to ensure the best learning experience that your child deserves. Communication with parents and updates about children’s learning and development is provided through the MindChamps App (a Parent App). Other forms of parent-teacher communication comprise face-to-face meetings, phone calls and email correspondence.

At MindChamps, children’s safety and security are always placed as their utmost priority. These practices include a Health Check System (3 times daily of children’s temperature taking and sanitisation), furniture with child-proof corners and edges, strict authorisation procedure for pick-ups, CCTV surveillance and security officer stations outside the centre.

The symbol of MindChamps PreSchool is the bamboo plant, one of the most successful plants in the world, because of the ‘preparation’ it goes through underneath the ground, before the extent of its development is apparent. Building on this metaphor, the 10 ‘key roots’ are the learning and development strategies which will underpin a young child’s mind, social and intellectual growth throughout childhood and into adulthood:

Key Root 1: Champion Values and Emotional Intelligence Building Strategies

Key Root 2: Creativity and Theatrical Strategies

Key Root 3: Associative Thinking and Cognitive Strategies

Key Root 4: Communication Strategies

Key Root 5: Narrative Intelligence Strategies

Key Root 6: Language and Reading Strategies

Key Root 7: Numeracy Strategies

Key Root 8: Nature and Environmental Awareness Strategies

Key Root 9: Movement for the Mind Strategies

Key Root 10: Music for Learning and Life Strategies

MindChamps’ curriculum/programme approach to learning is not just an educational approach, but a movement suited to the rapidly changing world of the 21st Century (the Century of the Mind).

MindChamps prepares children of today with the skills, flexibility and mindset to thrive in an information-saturated future – nurturing every child to be the best that they can be.

Early childhood is the crucial time for laying foundations. The foundations for intellectual, cognitive, social and emotional development must be carefully laid down ‘under the ground’, for future growth and success to follow. – MindChamps PreSchool
