Making a smart choice for your children
THE best gift that a child can receive is a high-quality education experience. It begins when the child is in his or her early years – the time most crucial to a child’s lifelong growth and development.
Through the Smart Reader Kids and Smart Reader Kids++ programmes, children as young as three years old are exposed to a safe and loving environment.
The developmental activities and creative learning methods encourage children to develop their social, emotional and intellectual potential.
However, not all children are eager to begin their schooling years that early. Most would feel anxious or even scared to enter school for the first time.
Jennifer Foo, grandmother to four-year-old Isaac Lim, reflects: “Initially, we were very concerned about his readiness. However, after two months at Smart Reader Kids Sea Park, Petaling Jaya, I’m pleased that his transition has been smooth-sailing.
“He enjoys his time there and thanks to the encouragement from his teachers, he has developed an interest in arts and craft.”
Another parent, Herma Hayatty M. Jeet, experienced similar reservations as Foo when enrolling her four-year-old daughter in Smart Reader Kids Taman Segar Perdana, Cheras. Her daughter Fatin Harieyana Mohd Fathli, was a little hyperactive.
“In the beginning, I did not expect to see changes in my daughter. But as the days and weeks passed, I noticed the significant changes.
“She improved in her communication with others and became more focused in her tasks. She also developed an interest in reading and often asks for new books to read,” she said.
According to Herma, the Smart Reader Kids programme has boosted her daughter’s creativity level and helped her to express her inner and outer self.
Undeniably, Smart Reader Worldwide has long established a strong reputation for itself as the premier provider of early childhood education in the country.
Most of the parents heard about Smart Reader Kids by word of mouth and had gone to the centres to learn more about the programme, especially the Smart Tadris programme.
The Smart Tadris programme under the newly launched Smart Reader Kids Islamic concept is the latest addition. It offers a comprehensive curriculum on fundamentals of Islam for young Muslim children.
Currently, there are more than 300 Smart Reader Kids centres nationwide and since its inception, a million children globally have benefited from the programmes.
Enrolment for the 2014 academic year is still ongoing for those interested in enrolling their children in a Smart Reader Kids centre.
