HANKidz Leadership Preschool, Bandar Sri Subang (Sunway) is one of the newest branches to join the vibrant HANKidz family – one with a growing reputation for excellence in leadership and improving standards. The preschool utilises quality tools and effective practices to offer a well-rounded educational experience to children. One of their fundamental goals is to ensure children believe in their own abilities and recognise the part that they must play to make our world a better and more peaceful place.
“To create world peace and abundance by developing enlightened leaders through children.”
Within this nurturing environment, children benefit from the preschool’s unique educational approach. Instead of focusing solely on academics, though important, HANKidz implements a forward-thinking method to teaching known as G.R.A.C.E., which encompasses a range of effective methodologies that addresses all other factors that contribute to academic achievement.
The coaches utilise Gamification to inject an element of excitement and engagement into lessons, making the learning experience enjoyable and motivating for the children.
Additionally, they embrace the concept of Role Modelling, acting as exemplary figures to inspire and cultivate leadership qualities within the students.
Applied Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) plays a vital role in enhancing children’s ability to behave positively and constructively. NLP techniques enable the students to improve their communication, set and achieve goals, overcome limiting beliefs, and ultimately foster personal growth.
Rather than rote learning, teachers here skillfully employ Coaching techniques to encourage active participation, critical thinking and decision-making abilities. By doing so, the children are empowered to take ownership of their learning journey.
Experiential Learning is also an important element in the learning process, providing students with the opportunity to explore and comprehend concepts through hands-on experiences. This immersive method deepens their understanding and retention of knowledge.
From this comprehensive approach, children then learn to embrace their leadership potential and will be equipped with essential 21st century skills to take ownership of their own education and future.
A Rich Leadership School Culture
Students – Leadership Principles Woven Into Day-to-Day Learning
To bring up life-ready children, HANKidz integrates leadership principles into every aspect of the school culture. Learning can happen anywhere, anytime, and not just within a subject allocated in the timetable. It comprises a wide variety of activities, both inside and outside the classroom, that are well-designed to engage children to learn by doing. This includes open-ended activities, outdoor exploration, group work and field trips. Children also get to experience nature’s life cycle, see how their food is grown, and learn about being responsible about their environment in self-sustaining farming projects. When children get to apply what they have learnt into hands-on practice, they understand the concepts much better and are able to connect them to the real world.
Throughout, they are also encouraged to make decisions, work together with friends in order to reach goals or solve problems, and then reflect on the outcomes or consequences of their actions. When this happens on a day-to-day basis, children become self-reliant, they take initiative, prioritise their time, do their homework, and know how to set and track goals. They will be impacted in a truly transformative way that traditional education can’t achieve.
Teachers – Leadership Role Models
Besides a strong effort to introduce leadership principles in the lessons, teachers, who are known as coaches here, model leadership qualities to inspire children to develop and strengthen their own values. Coaches go through regular training to create an environment which is conducive for children to build self-esteem, courage, respect, responsibility and grit. They are equipped with tools such as Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) techniques to guide children to improve themselves and the way they think. When children see leadership in action, they yet again better understand it and learn how to apply it to their own behaviours.
Parents – Shared Leadership Paradigms and Principles at Home
As it is a schoolwide endeavour to ensure children are exposed to good examples of leadership, this means parents take part in this uplifting culture. They are encouraged to volunteer in school activities and be just as actively involved in the whole preschool experience. It is imperative to practise the same principles at home to maximise effective life-readiness skills. The preschool provides personalised one-on-one coaching sessions to parents, equipping them with useful resources to cultivate leadership abilities in their children at home. The result of this partnership between home and the school will be children who are reinforced with a growth mindset, cultivating a future community that lifts themselves and others.
Besides, parents can rest assured that their children’s dietary requirements are in the hands of a knowledgeable professional dietician, Ms Li Xin. With her expertise and careful consideration of nutritional needs, Ms. Li Xin ensures that the children receive balanced and healthy meals to support their growth and well-being.
In a world of constant change, HANKidz Leadership Preschools give our next generation a lot of hope and promise. Read more about how they prepare every child for what lies ahead at their other branches: Mutiara Damansara, Pusat Bandar Puchong and Setia Alam.
