Kiddy123’s survey of quality preschools in Puchong took us further south to the neighbourhood of Taman Puchong Utama. And were we glad we ventured all the way there! Our “treasure hunt” unearthed a number of unique preschools for our dear parents. Take a look at what we discovered for you and your little one.
Note: The preschools below are listed in alphabetical order. The sequence in which they appear does not in any way reflect the ranking of the preschool.
Housed in a double storey corner lot, Big Apple, Bukit Puchong boasts a host of specially designed programs as well as an array of impressive facilities which take children’s learning beyond the classroom. Big Apple’s teaching material adheres to the National Preschool Curriculum Standard set by The Ministry of Education Malaysia. With exposure to English Language, Phonics, Mandarin, Bahasa Melayu, Science Observation, and Numbers, even the youngest age group - the 3-year-olds - get the strong foundation they need for their education journey ahead. One outstanding fact about this kindergarten is that little ones who are not yet fully potty-trained are still welcomed here, whereby the correspondence between the staff and the parents are key factors which help this along. Students here are not just emerging academically inclined, but they are also more independent, having picked up important problem-solving skills and social skills.
Kidskool, Bandar Bukit Puchong is a promising haven for infants and children aged 2 months to 6 years. For many families, this school has brought nothing but the best in their children. It has helped them thrive emotionally and intellectually, and parents couldn’t be happier with their experience.
The programmes at Kidskool aim to enable children to grow in confidence in order to be able to thrive in future situations. Using a play-based approach, children immerse in activities that allow them to discover new things. They learn about themselves and where they fit in the world. Pretend play, moral stories, crafting with recyclable materials, cookery and other structured games are all part of the fun. Even everyday activities like eating and good sleep hygiene habits become learning opportunities here. The variety of skills they learn is fantastic.
All is set within a safe environment with clear guidelines, as well as open, transparent communication.
Kinderland Puchong Utama has a strong focus on music to enhance language literacy. This is the only preschool we have seen so far that incorporates a music course as part of its syllabus. Besides the usual Music & Movement lessons with percussion instruments, Kinderland’s Children Music Programme provides their students the opportunity to experiment with simple musical instruments, while the younger kids enjoy early exposure to music appreciation. Including music in the school curriculum also helps children to improve their concentration and memory, ability to express feelings better, understanding of the basic rudiments of music, ability to read music scores and appreciation of teamwork.
The kindergarten also has a specially designed health and fitness programme for young children, its KinderFit Programme, which develops self-confidence, responsible habits, team spirit, and a positive attitude towards a healthy life-style.
Little Angel Kindergarten, Tasik Prima Puchong is run by the principal, Madam Ho, together with her team of passionate and dedicated teachers. Based on her experience, she strongly believes that a holistic teaching methodology that focuses on cognitive, emotional and social development of young children extends well beyond academic learning.
Children are not confined to their classrooms as there are many hands-on activities included in their curriculum. With a balance between academics and play, children would be able to concentrate better. For students who want to learn more, there are also optional enrichment classes such as speech & drama, Han Yu Pin Yin and Bahasa Malaysia classes.
Madam Ho emphasizes that cultivating a positive learning attitude and instilling moral values is more important than achieving academic success, because learning is a lifelong process and it does not stop upon scoring a grade A or graduating from any educational institution. To make learning more fun, children learn about moral values through singing, recitation and rhymes. Her goal is to empower children and guide them to becoming a responsible individual towards a life of success.
