Many parents with children under three often contemplate whether to send their kids to preschool or not. Will they cope? What about the separation? Don’t they just play in school? When is the right age? There is no better time than now! As little 0 to 6-year-olds are sponges that can take in so much more than parents can imagine. As a parent, you should make use of this period to equip your child with the skills s/he needs. 3Q MRC Junior, Kampar is the place to give children the perfect head start.
Children gain a lot from attending school here. They are exposed to alphabets, words, numbers, colours, shapes and so much more. Most importantly, they learn to share and get along with others at a young age, while they figure out how to regulate their emotions. Many previous students from this kindergarten enter primary school with stronger basic math concepts, richer pre-reading skills, and better social-emotional skills than peers from other schools. This is all thanks to the well-researched and proven 3Q education system.
From the first day on, children’s lives are buzzing with a wide range of activities. Every activity is to prepare them for primary school and develop their whole brain, in line with the 3Q curriculum. Teachers incorporate lots of real-life objects, play-based materials, animations and games into the lessons so that children find it engaging and fun. Often times, it does look like children are just playing but they are actually learning essential social, emotional, educational and life skills through play.
The curriculum covers various areas of learning, as shown in the table below. Teachers pay attention to what children are interested in, then plan different themes that help children expand their knowledge and skills in different aspects. By connecting many areas of the curriculum together, it is easier for children to get a deeper understanding of how things work. For example, as children learn about insects, they discuss their habitats and life cycles, which is science; teaching them the body parts incorporates mathematics, e.g. number of legs, and art, e.g. colours on a butterfly’s wings; by going outside to look for insects children get to build stronger gross motor skills. This approach does not only introduce academic knowledge to children but also life skills, and problem-solving and creative thinking capabilities.

As the 3Q education system is all about fostering the development of the whole brain and the whole child, there are plenty of opportunities tailored towards talent extraction among the children. This innovative programme also encourages children to sing, dance, tell stories, perform and excel physically. Every year, there is an international talent competition that brings children from all 3Q schools together and gives all a chance to showcase their talents in front of a big audience. This makes the educational journey a lot more meaningful as the outside world requires more than just grades to succeed but rather it needs people who are creative, confident and can express themselves well.
Parents should take advantage of the well-prepared environment of a 3Q MRC Junior Kindergarten to build the foundation that will help children excel in primary school. Children will explore, experiment and find the answers to their curiosity; they will play with peers, and understand how to compromise and be respectful towards others; they will learn wonders, from small tasks to bigger issues like making decisions and solving problems. Of course, they will have fun! This is undoubtedly a great step for all young children.
