Kindergarten survey for Nayra

My little girl happens to be not so little anymore...age and size to be precise! She is going to be FOUR next year and her weight issue is never gone...she is around 17kg now, nasib baik tinggi so boleh la cover sikit kegebuan dia tu..

Ok..now straight to the topic, nak carikan dia kindergarten since she is going to be at the right age to enroll in a kindy, also she has started to feel bored at home, doing the same thing everyday. Luckily syamariz is now on maternity leave for 3 months so boleh la layan dia kat umah...bila dah start keje nanti, kesian pulak..imagining she has to play and do activities on her own

Walaupun sekarang syamariz dah ada maid but her hands are full with baby Nisa..Nayra unfortunately has to be independant, better let her go to school la macam ni...

Hmmm..okay the reasons i can come out on sending her to a kindy are as below:

1. Dah sampai umur yang sesuai (4 years old)
2. Rugi membiarkan kreativiti dia tersekat di rumah..better stimulate her cognitive & psychomotor skills early
3. Bagi dia belajar communication & socializing skills...sekarang dia macam pasif sikit dgn orang
4. Kesian dia boring duduk rumah
5. Sementara ada maid nih, boleh la hantar dia ke kindy dekat2 dgn rumah if not kena heret dia ke kindy dekat2 ofis la

A few days ago, bawak anak dara tu pegi survey 3 tempat:

1. Smart Reader
2. Genius Aulad
3. Krista

Smart Reader:

• Lokasi atas rumah kedai and very near to my house
• Layanan profesional, explanation very convincing by one of the teachers
• Sistem pembelajaran macam advance
• Teachers nampak very dedicated and tegas
• Medium of communication is english because students 1 Malaysia
• Maximum 10 students in a class
• Ruang agak sempit sebab banyak kelas
• Terima budak yang masih pakai diapers
• Makanan adalah snacks macam biskut, kuih or buns except friday dapat menu best sikit macam nasi lemak or bihun goreng
• Fees - anually around RM1472 (tak termasuk uniform, buku , insurans etc ada la dalam RM200) and monthly RM240
• Ada 2 session; pagi (8.15 - 11.15am) petang (12.15 - 3-15pm)

• Disember ada 2 weeks of class walau pun cuti sekolah
• Annual sports day biasanya di Sapura Smart School, Subang and Annual concert di Summit USJ
• September nanti ada open day..kalau register time tu dapat diskauns etc
• Lupa nak snap photos

Genius Aulad:

• Lokasi rumah kedai jugak and agak jauh sikit dari rumah, but still considered near la
• Teachers nampak baik, lemah-lembut...dunno whether its good or bad
• Tak banyak kelas..1 class for 4 y.o and 2 classes for 5 & 6 y.o respectively
• Because kelas untuk 4 y.o cuma satu so maximum dia amik around 22 students
• Ruang memang luas beserta kelas & perabot yang cantik..very ergonomics for the kids
• Tak terima budak yang belum potty train (masih pakai diapers)
• Makanan sama macam Smart Reader
• Fees - anually RM968 (plus around RM 100 for uniform & books) and monthly RM268
• Ada 2 sessions jugak; pagi (8.30 - 11.30am) petang (1.30-4.30 pm)
• Principle Teacher Mawar..a very nice and soft spoken young lady dari Denai Alam
• Subjeknya BM, BI, Maths & Islamic
• Penerapan agama yang sangat kuat..ada sesi solat setiap hari, baca doa, kisah nabi etc
• Ada one-to-one reading session setiap pagi..teacher panggil individually
• Disember takde kelas
• Outdoor event- ada lawatan ke surau etc tapi lokasi sports day tak tentu, tak tanya pulak pasal concert tapi sure islamic punya..tak merasa la nak tengok anak menari hula ker, joget ker hehe
• Layan gambar :

Lokasi survey yang seterusnya adalah Krista tapi tak tercapai sebab dah tutup..syamariz sampai dah kul 12.30 tgh, rupanya dia tak ada sesi petang kot..takpe nanti nak pegi survey lagi kasi puas hati

Dah habis survey semua tempat nanti baru nak buat decision...sekian...

syamariz note:
kena gigih potty train nayra sementara ada seminggu lebih sebelum masuk keje ni..nanti susah nak masuk school
