Kiddo Kidz Kindergarten serves as a one-stop education provider where parents can rest assured knowing that their children are receiving the very best guidance through their most critical formative years. The school first opened its doors in 2016 and is located in Taiping, Perak. Using an innovative, evolving approach to teaching, the totality of the school’s curriculum ultimately prepares students to become successful global citizens.
The school encompasses a comprehensive educational experience for its students. Children are supported by their teachers to expand their academic knowledge in a broad range of subject areas, with literacy and numeracy skills integrated into many exciting activities. Key programmes include Cambridge English, Smarty Ants Reading Programme and Kiddo Science (an intriguing programme where children learn science concepts through practical hands-on experiments). There are many opportunities for students to play, explore, express creatively and take part in excursions beyond the classroom. Through the use of the tried-and-true multiple intelligence approach to teaching, students will be deeply engaged in every aspect of development, including social-emotional and social skills.
All students in Kiddo Kidz Kindergarten have an equal right to be valued and nurtured as individuals. As educators, the school aims to provide a secure environment that fosters children’s innate curiosities, takes their enthusiasm for learning to new levels and encourages them to become independents learners. In the classrooms and hallways, there is a close-knit community feel. It’s the result of healthy relationships between students and teachers that reinforces a child’s sense of belonging in the school.
We know a school is only as good as its professional teaching staff. Kiddo Kidz Kindergarten pours significant resources in recruiting and retaining teachers who are passionate advocates of education. They don’t just know every student by their names, but very importantly, their nature. This enables them to truly personalise instruction based upon the student’s individual abilities and pace of learning. For the parents who entrusted their children to the school, they can always depend on timely, honest communication from the teachers to ensure their children are safe and respected at all times. Just the students here, teachers never stop learning either. They are given relevant opportunities to grow professionally on an ongoing basis.
The founders of Kiddo Kidz Kindergarten have a clear direction and vision for the future, seeking infinite opportunities for its students to excel. Pivotal growth plans include expanding the current preschool to a second location that can house up to 500 students in Bukit Antarabangsa, Selangor; building a new Rainforest International School and Tennis Academy in Taiping, Perak; and integrating a hybrid educational system via Rainforest International Online.
Rainforest International School will adopt a forward-looking US-based curriculum. Its proposed location is in a British colonial style building at Casuarina, Taiping. The campus will comprise technology-enhanced learning spaces, modern facilities, resort-style boarding houses and a well-equipped gym. The curriculum will give students distinct advantages through its unique academic rigour and emphasis on students’ personal development.
Aspiring athletes and students with exceptional sporting potential will have the opportunity to build their skills through the Rainforest Tennis Academy. The academy supports students to elevate both their athletic and academic performance. World class coaches will assist student-athletes by combining sports with higher education, and students will have the chance to participate in the International Tennis Federation Professional Circuit tournaments.
The Rainforest team also aims to partner with Liberty University Online Academy to offer a hybrid educational system. Lessons will be presented online with teacher support via phone or email. It is a self-paced curriculum based upon students’ abilities and daily assignment completion. Under this method of delivery, students can have instant access to grades and quick feedback regarding their progress.
All in all, innovative and progressive education is the heart of the team. They draw on the best practices to cultivate students to be globally minded, and reflective learners who demonstrate confidence and resilience.
