New Sun Moon Kindergarten, Cheras

New Sun Moon Kindergarten, Cheras was born out of the desire to create an environment to provide young children with the “Knowledge to fly, Brilliance to excel, Creativity to imagine.” Founded by Ms Sammion Loo, a passionate educator dedicated to preparing little ones for a successful schooling journey ahead, the kindergarten has grown its reputation for the past decade on giving the best of both quality care and learning experiences.

Well-equipped, cheery environment

With branches in Ampang and Bangsar South, this was set up as the kindergarten’s headquarters. It operates out of two spacious, well-designed shoplots in Bandar Sri Permaisuri. True to their goal of creating a safe, clean and perfect environment, the atmosphere within enables children to feel at ease and enjoy learning. The interiors are cheerily bright and thoughtfully equipped with an array of facilities including a library, science lab, cultural room, infant playroom, music room, sick bay and an indoor playground.

The key to students’ future success – Fingerprint genetic coding

At New Sun Moon, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to learning. This is based on the belief that because each child is a unique individual, each one has a unique preferred style of learning – some may perceive information better through seeing, some through hearing, and some excel through doing. Thus, the kindergarten uses a fingerprint genetic coding technology – a standout feature – to identify important clues on each child’s individual strengths and weaknesses, making it possible to personalise lesson plans according to student’s innate abilities. This way, teachers are able to unlock children’s full potential and better prepare them for future success. On top of that, this insightful information can also enlighten parents with more effective parenting strategies.

A strong balanced curriculum for well-rounded development

To truly bring out the best potential in each child, the curriculum at New Sun Moon adopts a thematic approach to keep little ones excited and engaged in their learning. Exciting themes that kindergarteners can relate to in their lives, like animals, holidays and transportation, are introduced every month – alongside different weekly sub-themes – to create a richer understanding in each subject area. 

As play is vital for children’s early development, the teachers here are sure to integrate plenty of fun, hands-on activities into the daily schedule. From constructive play like doing puzzles to cooperative play involving games with others, as well as fantasy play like dress-ups and physically active play such as running and climbing, children are encouraged to actively participate in them all in order to make sense of the world around them. Apart from making school days super enjoyable, these play learning opportunities provide an essential platform for children to develop a huge number of skills – intellectually, cognitively, socially, emotionally and physically.   

While it’s important to hold children’s interests through fun and games, New Sun Moon does not neglect the academic side of things either. An equal emphasis is placed on kindergarteners’ academic preparation – including core subjects like English, Bahasa Malaysia, Mandarin, Math, Science and Moral – so that they will be prepared with all the fundamentals when they go to primary school.

On a side note, the classes here never take on more than twelve students at a time, allowing for a personalised approach to instruction and learning. If ever there is a child who struggles to catch up, teachers are always able to provide the attention and guidance needed for the child to pick up and excel. Hence, it is safe to say that children graduating from New Sun Moon are definitely on a positive route to thrive in primary school, as well as grow into a competent individual.

To make the most of the hours spent in school, New Sun Moon offers full daycare services where children get to nap, eat, play, enjoy extracurricular activities and get additional revision that can help in their optimum development. In addition, fun-filled holiday camps alongside a Good Behaviour Camp are also organised every year to provide loads of entertainment for the whole family. Parents who turn to New Sun Moon will find a place to create a strong beginning to their children’s education, as well as a solid foundation to secure success in the future.
