3Q MRC Junior Kindergarten, Taman Maluri

At 3Q MRC Junior Kindergarten, Taman Maluri, the aim is to provide children with an outstanding foundation in education and life. The kindergarten creates a secure and engaging environment where children can develop self-confidence as individuals and acquire the knowledge necessary to excel in primary school. This is achieved through the use of a fun, broad, and creative play-based curriculum called the 3Q system, which is an established educational system that employs effective tools to encourage the complete development of the brain. The curriculum helps to stimulate both sides of the brain, allowing children to develop decision-making and problem-solving skills while also learning how to regulate their emotions. By incorporating these techniques into daily education, children become more capable and confident individuals who can confidently tackle everyday challenges with a competent mindset.

The curriculum at 3Q MRC Junior Kindergarten is comprehensive, covering various subjects and topics that are organised thematically to create a unified learning experience for the children.

The programme’s effectiveness lies in its ability to foster links across the curriculum, enabling children to see connections between academic learning, holistic enrichment, educational related services and life skills mastery. This is while developing the whole brain and “Learning through play, play through learning”. Educational theories are underscored by Howard Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences. This theory acknowledges that each child learns differently, some better suited to a linguistically-oriented environment while others prefer body-kinesthetic-based learning. To boost the creative and logical aspects of the brain, multiple modes of instruction are utilised based on different intelligences. As a result, children can thrive intellectually and emotionally. To complete the whole brain development, children are taught improve long-term memory performance through mental imaging using the Super Memory Map (SMM) method of learning. 

What’s more, the curriculum offers a multitude of enrichment activities, such as music, Taekwondo and art class, giving children with the opportunity to explore their interests, passions, and talents. The kindergarten is well-equipped with a dancing room, science room, activity hall, outdoor playground and gardening area to promote a balance between indoor and outdoor activities. The importance of play and physical activity for young children is emphasised, as it prepares their brains for learning and contributes to crucial skills needed for success in both school and life. In addition to yearly field trips, sports days, and holiday programmes, the kindergarten also organises many other events, such as a large-scale talent show and competition, Chinese New Year music video production, and an international carnival, providing children with a diverse range of experiences.

Children here are guided by teachers who are chosen with great care based on their education and positive qualities. The teachers do recognise that family involvement is a vital factor in children’s development and academic success. As a result, they foster collaborative relationships with parents and keep them informed of their child’s progress through frequent parent-teacher meetings and regular face-to-face updates.

Through the years, 3Q MRC Junior Kindergarten, Taman Maluri has received numerous positive testimonials from parents, who praise the nurturing atmosphere and joyful learning experiences their children have had there. Parents are delighted to see their children grow into confident and capable learners under the care and guidance of 3Q MRC Junior Kindergarten’s dedicated teachers.
