3Q MRC Toddlers, Damai Perdana
3Q MRC Toddlers strive to provide toddlers aged 6 months to 3 years with the right start in life. The strength of the curriculum lies in its ability to develop the whole brain, helping toddlers boost both the logical and creative side of the brain. Learning underscores Howard Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences. To complete the development of the whole brain, teachers focus their attention on 9 different areas of intelligences: linguistic, logical-mathematical, musical, spatial, bodily/kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, naturalistic and existential.
Parents will find the school to be both child and family-centred. The extension of after school care interaction allows toddlers to spend more time around their peers, where they can learn to share and problem-solve together, while their minds grow and personalities emerge.
The school advocates for play, physical movement and talent exploration as part of the optimal development for toddlers. The philosophy and goals adequately primes toddler’s brains for learning and refine skills necessary for great achievements in kindergarten.
