The concept of Smart Reader Kids is a complete
package which is not just teaching experience but focusing on the intellectual
and educational development specially for growing children. This unique concept
derived from years of research and actual teaching experience has proven
effective and suitable to the Malaysian scenario.
The package more than just contributes to the
intellectual and educational development because its teaching approach is
designed to encourage their potential and translate that into achievement. The
teaching methodology takes into account the environment in which children learn
as well as the subjects taught in the daily schedule.
A fine example would be Kinder Cooking where
the children are taught basic kitchen skills, like spreading butter on bread and
pouring cereal into bowls. Kinder Cooking encourages a child to build self
reliance, independence and confidence.
Learning these basic skills helps a child
minimize fear of his or her surroundings. Smart Reader Kids pays close attention
to minute details and is thorough in its focus on children. Curiosity is nurtured
and children are allowed to express themselves creatively.
The rapid increase in the number of Smart
Reader Kids centres since its introduction is testimony to the effectiveness of
the teaching styles adopted by this chain of pre-schools. The continuing
increase in the number of children in each centre clearly speaks for public
confidence in Smart Reader Kids.
The public has been wise to respond to the
various marketing strategies and publicity tactics used widely in the education
market. It therefore means that much more to Smart Reader Kids as it is the
choice of selective parents who wish to provide quality education for their
children.
"Parents just seem to be drawn to Smart
Reader Kids. They say that since joining Smart Reader Kids, their children are
happier and always eager to learn. They have become enthusiastic about learning
and are keen to attend classes. Parents also feel that the environment is so
healthy for the child. We have definitely made a difference in their lives .....
and that makes us so happy".
