Tadika Diyana is a purpose-built kindergarten offering total development for children. It started in 1985 with four classrooms and has grown to its present spacious premises, which is equipped with 25 classrooms, a computer room, library, cultural room, multi-purpose hall, outdoor play area, playhouse, music room, sick bay, canteen and field.
Tadika Diyana utilises a Thematic Teaching Approach in our education programme, guided by the Montessori philosophy and incorporated with the Multiple Intelligence teaching approach. Thematic Teaching is offered both in the morning (English) session and afternoon (Mandarin) session. There are ten academic months in each year, and each month boasts a different theme. Themes include flowers, animals, me and myself, me and my family, careers, science and the environment, and so on. The theme of the morning and evening sessions of each month is different.
The teachers, all with a background in Early Childhood Education, use an integrated teaching method combining story telling, discussion, art, music, pictures and other non-monotonous activities to encourage children to learn. Children absorb knowledge differently and the combinations of varied teaching methods help create an interest in learning.
Tadika Diyana also offer optional after school extra-curricular activities such as ballet, art and craft, speech and drama, mini-tennis, mini-badminton, basketball, soccer, taekwondo, modern dance, science discovery class, Lego bricks, mathematics class, reading class, agama class and so on.
