Why your child should go to a Playschool?

Why your child should go to a Playschool?

Playschools provides the "training" ground for children 3-4 yrs old before they embark on a formal learning journey in a kindergarten.



Playschools are typically shorter time periods (3x a week, 2.5 hrs per day at ALIMKids) compared to five days a week, 4 hrs per day at a kindergarten. Children who doesn't go to a playschool may have a bigger challenge to focus in kindergarten class as they are not used to sit and focus for a longer period.

Playschools also give them the experience of being away from their parents or primary care giver for a period of time, but not as long as being in a kindergarten. This gradual separation helps increase their confidence and teaches them to be more independent.



Playschools are a great transition from being in a toddlers playgroup (where mothers usually participate in as well) to a formal kindergarten.

Seorang ibu bertanya: "Anak saya 3 tahun, nak pergi sekolah. Ok ke kalau saya hantar dia ke tadika?".

Kanak-kanak 3 tahun mengenal "sekolah" sebagai tempat yg baru yg ada rakan sebaya dan suasana yg ceria. Sebenarnya, mereka belum bersedia untuk suasana pembelajaran formal seperti di tadika yg memerlukan konsentrasi dan kemahiran asas seperti menulis.

Suasana "Playschool" yg lebih santai dan berasaskan "belajar sambil bermain" adalah lebih sesuai untuk usia ini. Di Playschool juga, mereka belajar asas menulis (pre-writing skills) dan juga asas matematik (pre-maths skills).

Tetapi yg lebih penting, di ALIMKids Playschool, mereka dididik untuk mengenal & mencintai Allah & Rasul.

Pendaftaran di buka untuk ALIMKids Playschool di USJ Subang Jaya, Wangsa Maju, Kota Damansara & JB. Untuk usia 3-4 tahun sahaja.
