Krista - My Kindergarten

Every parent wants the best for their child and daddy left no stones unturned by taking 4 Fridays last month to survey couple of kindergartens within my neighbourhood (and some outside of it).

He narrowed it down to a few and I decided on this. Krista is the largest kindergarten chain in Malaysia. The programs they offer and recognitions for their outstanding feats are found in their website. (http://www.krista.com.my/).

The environment is just as important so the center at Laman Rimbunan, Kepong which opened it's doors last October provided an opportunity for me to be one of the pioneer students plus everything is brand new.

A conducive setup promotes lateral thinking and nurtures potential both academically and athletically. Krista provides a stepping stone to a learning experience that's enjoyable and nourishing to the mind and body.

The dining area where breakfast is served is equipped with taps built to 'our height' so that we learn to be independent and know the importance of hygiene. A session at the sand pit requires a good wash-up.

Malaysians are results driven so there isn't much take on Montessori Method. Krista makes it a point to enrich us on this hence a study area dedicated to it. I'm fed with the thought on exponential growth and how important learning is to just memorizing. Daddy's been a major advocate on this.

Might look like cookathon but we were allowed to play before starting the day proper and there isn't going to be any major classes for it's the Orientation week and I'm still getting acquainted with my new found friends.

Thanks to Gymboree, I need not worry about separation anxiety. There were a couple of my friends created some serious teary and tantrum-filled goodbyes ... went on pretty much into the hour and left the rest of us dumbfounded.
