Established in 2015, Shambala Kidz Leadership Pre School is an early childhood education institute offering various research-backed leadership development programmes with a heavy emphasis on character building. Conveniently situated in the heart of Ambang Botanic commercial development, the centre reflects the connotative meaning of the word Shambala itself, a Sanskrit word that means "place of peace" or "place of silence."
Providing early leadership development programmes to young learners is crucial to help prepare the next generation to become innovative, able future world leaders who are skilled in their fields, dedicated to pursuing creative and innovative solutions. In our increasingly technological and information-rich world, leadership skills honed from the age of 3 through the age of 6 are vital to any field and are key to preparing today's children to become tomorrow's problem solvers.
Students at Shambala Kidz Leadership are taught based on a coaching method as part of their learning experience. Ergo, educators at Shambala Kidz are called coaches instead of teachers. The term coach is used for a reason; apart from its pertinent connotative meaning, coaches are by default individuals who strive to identify and stimulate students' potential. As such, children are able to gain unique perspectives as their coaches guide and educate them. To ensure the quality of teaching and learning, Shambala maintains a 1-to-10 teacher-student ratio and employs only educators with qualifications in early childhood education.
Shambala offers research-backed Shambala Kidz Leadership Development Programme (SKLDP) - an educational programme developed by a team of preschool educationists, psychologists, entrepreneurs and nutritionists. The SKLDP programme is aimed to promote the long-term development and success of all children; one that effectively prepares children for primary education, college, career, and citizenship. As such, each child is actively engaged in learning and is connected not only to the ethos of Shambala but also to society at large. The following areas of learning are offered:
a) Leadership Self Cultivation
b) Leadership Mental Development
c) Leadership Malay Class
d) Leadership English Class
e) Little Bankers
f) Leadership Exploration
g) Leadership Chinese Class
h) Physical Education
i) Leadership Talents
j) Swimming Lesson
k) Gold + Indoor Play
l) Leadership Creativity
m) Leadership Phonics
Shambala Kidz has invested heavily in a range of first-rate facilities such as multi-purpose hall, playground, swimming pool, mini library, reading corridors, pantry, well-equipped science and computer laboratories. These facilities help enhance the teaching and learning which exists in the school. To ensure the safety of the students, several security cameras are installed, and security guards are employed to monitor the school perimeter. In efforts to minimise risks of minor accidents, custom designed materials are used in classrooms.
