'Good Start, Grow Smart' With
Chung Hwa Kindergarten
Bandar Seri
Begawan - Early childhood education in kindergarten and
formal primary education are two important stages in life, as they
signify that children have started their first-quantum leap in
structured learning and aggressive cognitive development.
As the learning process in
kindergarten can determine the level of success of a child later in
primary, it is of importance for parents to choose the right
kindergarten.
Parents should consider many
different factors before making their final decision.
They should reckon that early
children's education and formal education differ from many aspects,
especially in the methodology applied.
In kindergarten, young children are
taught in a wide variety of games and activities.
The focus is more on recognising
tangible perception and solid sensory development.
On the other hand, pedagogy of
chalk-and-talk is widely applied in primary.
The two processes, although inter
connected, can cause anxiety and difficulties to children during the
transition.
Chung Hwa Kindergarten in the
capital is well aware of the challenges created by such transition
and has prepared some effective `Good Start, Learn Smart' programmes
to help children adapt to their new environment.
Such programmes focus on the
cultivation of the right mindset and learning tools to mitigate any
stress or uneasiness provoked by a new environment.
Being able to do that will
facilitate learning and boost the emotional and social development
of children.
Besides developing the social
competency, emotional quotient and the flexibility to adapt to a new
environment, Chung Hwa Kindergarten also emphasises the involvement
of parents.
Having parents integrated in the
programme by getting their support will complete the whole cycle of
providing quality education to our future leaders. -- Courtesy of Borneo
