Hankidz Leadership Preschool, Bandar Sri Subang (Sunway)

Within this nurturing environment, children benefit from the preschool’s unique educational approach. Instead of focusing solely on academics, though important, Hankidz addresses all other factors that can contribute to or hinder academic achievement. They include children’s mental, physical, social and emotional well-being. From this learning process, children will then learn to embrace their leadership potential and be equipped with essential 21^st century skills to take ownership of their own education and future.

A Rich Leadership School Culture

Students – Leadership Principles Woven Into Day-to-Day Learning

To bring up life-ready children, Hankidz integrates leadership principles into every aspect of the school culture. Learning can happen anywhere, anytime, and not just within a subject allocated in the timetable. It comprises a wide variety of activities, both inside and outside the classroom, that are well-designed to engage children to learn by doing. This includes open-ended activities, outdoor exploration, group work and field trips. When children get to apply what they have learnt into hands-on practice, they understand the concepts much better and are able to connect them to the real world.

Throughout, they are also encouraged to make decisions, work together with friends in order to reach goals or solve problems, and then reflect on the outcomes or consequences of their actions. When this happens on a day-to-day basis, children become self-reliant, they take initiative, prioritise their time, do their homework, and know how to set and track goals. They will be impacted in a truly transformative way that traditional education can’t achieve.  

Teachers – Leadership Role Models

Besides a strong effort to introduce leadership principles in the lessons, teachers, who are known as coaches here, model leadership qualities to inspire children to develop and strengthen their own values. Coaches go through regular training to create an environment which is conducive for children to build self-esteem, courage, respect, responsibility and grit. They are equipped with tools such as Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) techniques to guide children to improve themselves and the way they think. When children see leadership in action, they yet again better understand it and learn how to apply it to their own behaviours.
