Small Wonder Malaysia, Puchong is a school that seeks to give young children confidence in their abilities and skills, and to have their minds heard. They promote the concept that school life is not one that should just focus on a child’s academic needs but should be a journey that comprises a healthy balance of extracurriculars, essential skills and fun!
All of the developments in its programmes, spaces and teachers reflect a desire to create a learning experience that is forward thinking and progressive. The team keeps their eyes peeled about how early childhood education is changing with the times, not just locally but globally. There is always continuous discussion and planning to examine effective methods and improve on existing elements.
Learning always starts where the child is. Be it a child who is motivated but lacks social skills or one who is physically nimble but weak in reading, teachers treat each child as an individual. They observe how individual students perform and tap on their strengths and work on their weaknesses. Children are placed in small groups so that teachers can respond to each child’s unique needs and help every child excel. Individualised education does require more work from the teachers but fret not, there is a strong supportive team behind the Puchong branch. Plus, Small Wonder places an investment in professional development.
Aligned with international benchmarks while fulfilling local educational requirements, the curriculum at Small Wonder Malaysia, Puchong is a meticulously crafted blend of Malaysia's Preschool Education Curriculum (KSPK), Singapore's Early Childhood Curriculum Framework (NEL) and the United Kingdom's Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).
This comprehensive approach ensures a well-rounded education that extends beyond conventional academics to encompass physical development, creativity and social skills. Through a captivating array of themed activities, young minds are inspired to explore, fostering a deep connection with nature, animals and the environment. From invigorating outdoor adventures that enhance physical coordination to indoor sessions such as little chef experiences, art classes and musical journeys, Small Wonder Puchong shapes future generations who are not only academically adept but also environmentally aware and poised to make meaningful contributions to society.
Central to its operations is a strong emphasis on the interconnected relationships among children, parents and teachers. The kindergarten values open communication to promote sharing of ideas, and a responsive and caring environment. This positive school climate is one of the most important cornerstones of a good structure that supports children to learn and grow.
Small Wonder thrives on bringing families together through collaborative partnerships that contributes to the needs of young children and the society. They build trust and respect, and provide a diverse range of learning opportunities that reflect the interests of the local community. They honour achievements and inspire all, children and adults, to achieve success.
