StartRight Preschool (or Tadika Sinar Holistik) is registered with the Ministry of Education. Our teachers are dedicated to prepare students for their future world by developing their characters and academic skills.
Our curriculum emphasizes learning beyond classrooms. Our students learn topics on self, community and the world, so they become aware of what’s around them and are ready to play a role as a citizen of the world.
Our students will master three languages - English, Chinese and Malay. Each day is dedicated to one language where they will spend the whole day learning math and science, and speaking in that language. Eventually, when they enroll into any primary school, they can speak, read and write in these languages confidently.
Plan-Do-Review allows students to decide what they want to do and learn during the session. It is highly effective in scaffolding the organization of students’ ideas and helping students to articulate their ideas. We also find students engage in richer conversations when they share their plans which leads to more purposeful play and interaction with materials. They have more in-depth and detailed review conversations with the teachers.
StartRight’s syllabus is compliant to National Preschool Standard Curriculum (KSPK) in teaching and learning. We also integrate age appropriate best practices in language, literacy, mathematics and science & technology from around.
Problem solving, conflict resolution and independence are 21st century skills our teachers focus on developing.
Character: We emphasize on problem solving and teaching children how to resolve conflicts. When given the right channel and taught the right approach, kids become comfortable voicing their opinions and eventually solve bigger problems.
Chores: We emphasize independence in and out of the classroom by giving children responsibilities at an early age. Children are always ready to hepp and it gives them a boost of confidence as they are being trusted with more tasks.
StartRight students are eager learners. Our students have a great understanding of the community around them and the world they live in. We organize field trips in accordance to the theme they have covered to bring lessons to live.
To help our students to be primary school ready, our 6-year-old students get 1-hour coaching in language and subjects they are weak in. This will eventually help them be confident when they enroll into primary school.
Early fitness helps build self-esteem and body awareness in children. Our gym class focuses on fundamental movement patterns and growing essential motor skills. And it helps our students to build coordination, strength, flexibility and hand-eye coordination.
StartRight students speak fluently and are confident in expressing themselves. They get to role play and participate in discussions which help them improve their vocabulary and articulate better.
Children gain hands-on experience in science, technology, computer science, coding, engineering, and mathematics. This early exposure cultivates problem-solving skills and ignites curiosity about how things function.
Learning never stops, and our preschoolers are eager to learn even during the school holidays. Our StartRight teachers are committed to providing school holiday activities based on a chosen theme.
