At You&Me Kindergarten, learning should be fun! Children between 5 to 6 years old are given lots of opportunities to grow, explore their environment, and discover their interests and talents. The kindergarten is located at Putra Heights within close proximity to the right brain learning centre that is owned by the same founder.
Our goal is to help children 'Grow, Explore and Discover'. We want to help children grow in all the important aspects of development during their years here at You&Me. Our purpose is to provide a nurturing environment in which children can explore and learn in an age-appropriate way. Each day, children will discover new knowledge, new skills, where their interests lie and what their talents are.Ms. Virna Loo, Founder and Principal of You&Me Kindergarten
The kindergarten has a colourful interior that features a mini climbing wall, reading corner and different-themed classrooms (like Astronauts and Scientists). The walls in the classrooms are custom padded for extra safety. There is sufficient room for children to do structured academic learning as well as physical group activities. The entire space is carefully thought out to ensure children are happy to learn. “It is important for us that children leave our kindergarten with a great experience and that they go to primary school full of eagerness and confidence,” adds Ms. Virna.
The You&Me Kindergarten education model is based on the principles of our national preschool curriculum (KSPK) with STEAM teaching integrated into it. (STEAM refers to Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics). Besides STEAM, the curriculum focuses on literacy, language, music, physical movement, as well as skills development. This approach balances children’s responsibility to learn and freedom to explore.
Many of the lessons take place in the form of hands-on activities, as this is the way children learn best. Every day, they dive into fun role plays, storytelling, singing, reading, simple experiments and much more. Children have many opportunities to try things out, problem-solve, work with materials, think critically about designs and ways to improve them. There are daily group sharing sessions for them to practice their social and communication skills in English, Chinese and Malay. There are also outings to related places of interests like engraving workshops where children can be introduced to engineering, technology and art all at once. In addition, children can participate in a variety of unique co-curricular activities including swimming, Latin dance, golf, yoga and Zumba to enhance their learning.
These exciting learning experiences easily turn play into learning. They help instill a natural motivation into children to love learning for the rest of their lives. Equally as important, early exposure to STEAM learning prepares children for the future with 21st Century skills (Creativity, Communication, Critical Thinking and Collaboration). When they are equipped with these abilities, they will thrive no matter where they choose to go.
You&Me Kindergarten does not believe in gauging children’s achievement through statutory exams. Instead, they monitor children’s continuing progress on the daily. All documentations about their development are readily available for teachers to reflect on and conveyed to parents.
Children are off to a good start at You&Me Kindergarten. The holistic curricular experiences provide children with a solid foundation that will prepare them to make the very best of the opportunities in their future lives.
