In the world of early childhood education, Q-dees needs no further introduction. It has grown considerably over the decades to where it sits now with a strong impression of quality education and proven track record of student achievements, and Q-dees Lunas (Tadika Juara Bestari), Kedah certainly lives up to its reputation.
Started in 2010, the principal of Q-dees Lunas, Ms Mathaes, aims to give the students in her preschool a great head start in life. Just like every parent, her deepest desire is to see children achieve success; she wants to nurture children to their full potential and see them grow up to be happy, well-rounded individuals. The best time to do so is when they are young.

Time-Tested, Innovative Learning Programmes
The philosophy of Q-dees Lunas is oriented around a strong academic curriculum that is integrated with meaningful play to strengthen children’s skills and interest in learning. The preschool uses the Q-dees Starters programme with its Link & Think methodology as the foundation to teach children. Link & Think is an approach in education that uses both logical and creative thinking when learning. Thus, making the whole learning experience simultaneously fun, creative, interactive and intellectually stimulating for children. It’s more than just academic excellence; the Q-dees curriculum engages children holistically through the following programme offerings:
|
Early Discovery Programme
|

a) English Play Imagination
b) Memory & Logical Training

Logic & Scientific Discovery
|
Creative Development
|
|
Children’s natural curiosity about the world around them will be fostered through a wide variety of hands-on logic and reasoning activites. They will get acquainted with numbers, from counting to working with fractions; and they will be fascinated by the science experiments they get to explore.
|
Art, music, painting, singing and dancing are all part of the daily schedule at Q-dees. Teachers always find creative ways to teach children as they encourage problem-solving and critical thinking skills. This will better position children as they enter primary school.

|
Physical & Social-Emotional Development
|
Jawi
|
|
As they say a healthy body is a healthy mind. Therefore, teachers place as much attention on children’s physical and social-emotional development as their academic progress. The Q-dees Gymflex classes keep children active while strengthening their motor skills.
In addition, instilling positive values, practicing good manners and understanding gratitude are all important aspects of education here at Q-dees.
|
This all-new programme allows children to build a solid foundation in Jawi. Using both multimedia and exercise sheets, children get to practice and familiarise themselves with the components of Islamic studies.

Diverse, Enriching Opportunities in a Safe Environment
There is never a dull moment at Q-dees. From field trips and sports days to enrichment and holiday programmes, children gain a sense of the world in which they belong to. They get real insight into how actual places and people operate, and expand their skills with drama, cooking, baking, music, and more.
Not to mention, everything is organised in compliance to proper Covid prevention measures to ensure the safety of everyone in the school community. Also, other control procedures including daily temperature checks, thorough sanitisation, age-appropriate mask use, fostering healthy daily routines, and reducing the number of students in day care are implemented according to the government’s guidelines.
Passionate and Qualified Educators Preparing Children for Primary School and Beyond
Q-dees Lunas is committed to hiring educators who are largely passionate about their jobs and towards children. The preschool is staffed with teachers who have a minimum Diploma in Early Childhood Education, and some of them have worked here for more than 6 years, which says a lot about their dedication as well as the school environment. They work together as a team devoted to providing children with a complete learning environment that nurtures the whole child in their years of prime betterment. Aside from that, teachers make it a point to keep parents updated about their children’s progress in school through parent-teacher meetings and regular face-to-face communications. Every year, parents also get to see their children hone their presentation skills and showcase what they have learnt in the aptly named Celebration of Learning performance.
Children who attend Q-dees Lunas are truly given every opportunity to be the best that they can be, prepared for the rigours of primary school and the diverse world out there.
