Eduwis Elite Preschool & Enrichment Centre, The Gardens Mall, Mid Valley City

Founded in 1987, Eduwis Education has developed one of the most established and trusted programmes in its field. Throughout its long history, Eduwis Elite is the group’s first company-owned branch to operate in a mall. The facilities are top-notch and allows for a broad range of programming. It includes well-equipped classrooms, key learning corners with banks of accessible resources, computer lab, junior kitchen and indoor playground. The school also ensures children benefit from the amenities that the mall has to offer, namely, an outdoor garden studio where they can be engaged in nature play and use its elements to develop an understanding of the world around them.

Programmes, Enrichment and Extended Services

Eduwis Elite offers half and full day programmes for children aged 2 to 6 years of age, alongside enrichment classes, emergency daycare, and drop and shop services that are available on weekends. Weekend enrichment classes currently include Little Chef, Little Musician and Little Artist, and are catered to children aged 4 to 12 years of age. It is of strong intention to provide individually oriented and semi-child centred instruction to guide all children to reach their potential within the core academic fields and beyond.

Thematic, Integrated Instructional Model

The programmes aim to nurture the whole child through a thematic approach, whereby diverse learning areas of the curriculum are connected together within a unifying theme. Thematic units integrate English, Bahasa Malaysia, Mandarin, Early Math, Early Science, Creative Arts (drawing/art and craft), Music (piano/music and movement), ICT, Moral, General Studies, indoor activities (drama/puppet show/dance) and outdoor activities for a well-balanced learning experience. This method of instruction is a powerful tool for children to make sense of what they are learning, make connections to transfer knowledge and apply it in a meaningful way, retain information, as well as to keep children of all learning abilities engaged throughout the learning process.        

Balanced Developmental Priorities

Lessons are carefully organized around each child’s unique needs, abilities and interests. A daily schedule of hands-on activities is built in to support active learning through discovery, exploration and independent knowledge construction. Children learn and play in a balanced setting that actively teaches both academic and social skills. They get to create and experiment in various learning corners, and also learn in structured lessons. Learning corners include science, maths, music, art and craft, home, reading corners and more. These learning corners strongly promote effective learning and heightened levels of involvement. Close attention is placed upon building a foundation of essential skills – intellectual, social, emotional, communication, conflict management and motor skills. The school emphasizes the importance of conserving the natural environment by supplementing learning with recycled teaching resources.

Within its programming are a host of yearly activities and plentiful presentation opportunities. Children get to participate in percussion and NANTA musical productions, storytelling, puppet shows, sports days, concert and graduation day performances, field trips, and mathematics and drawing competitions.
