Smart Reader Kids®

I have contacted Smart Reader Kids on their programs as i plan to add some new syllabus in Reya's education. It is besides the Opus Musical Programme which she is currently attending. Here i share the details i got from the centre for all moms out there.

Smart Reader Kids provide a systematic and complete programme for pre- schoolers from the age of 3 to 6 years old. They do provide 5 different programmes for children. The list of programmes are as follows:

1) Smart Reader Kids Enrichment Programme (Age 3-6 years old) (Mon- Fri)
2) Smart Reader Kids ++ (Age 3-12 years old) - half and full day care services
3) Tutorial Programme (Age 4- 12 years old) - Tuition class
4) Smart Reader Kids Islamic (Age 3-6 years old) to cater for holistic Islamic Education
5) Smart REader Kids Mandarin Medium Programme

Smart Reader Kids curriculum comprises the following subjects:

• Smart Reader English
• Smart Bacaan
• Smart Maths
• Smart Science
• Smart Hygiene and Moral
• Smart Art and Creative Work
• Smart Computer
• Smart Music
• Smart Kindercooking
• Smart Mandarin and Fardhu Ain are available as optional subjects

As for Reya she will be 3 years old next year and she have to start off with the Toddler Programme where play school is incorporated into teaching methodology, as a way to enhance her motor skills. This hands on training will be an essential component in the child's early learning experience through to higher levels. All subjects in the curriculum are taught based on levels which correlates to the child's ability level more than the age level. At this point, language subjects taught are based on students enrollment with the centre.

 At this point, language subjects are based on students's enrollment with the centre. Example:

3 years old enrollment- Toddler Programme
First year entry - Levels 1 & 2 (Beginner)
Second year entry- Levels 3 & 4 (Intermediate)
Third year entry- Level 5 & 6 (Advance)

All new comers will commence at level 1 regardless of the child's age. Therefore it is beneficial to have the child enrolled in Smart Reader Kids Programme as early as four years old.

The earlier the child is enrolled into the programme, the earlier he/she can complete all the levels.

These levels are applicable for the subjects of English, Bahasa Malaysia, Maths and Mandarin. Due to this uniquely designed curriculum, the child will have an easy transition when entering Year One in Primary School. 

English is the main medium of instruction and communication. Even though this is the case, children are also taught the relevance of their individual cultural and racial environments. Children participate in events and celebrations planned by the centre all year round. The classrooms at Smart Reader Kids are designed in such a way that it creates conducive educational environment for the kids.  

The ration of teacher to student is 1:12. School fees are fixed at RM 295 per month. There are also other fees such as registration, concert, sports fee, personal insurance and miscellaneous fee.
