Building Great Minds and Shaping Kind Hearts Through FunGates
The school aims to foster the development of the whole child – heart, mind, body and soul – with the child-driven, inquiry-based FunGates education system. The core framework reflects the best teaching practices, up-to-date educational research and the principles of the National Standard Preschool Curriculum. Teachers ensure learning for the children is a positive encounter and does not solely revolve around books and school desks. It is important for children to have the opportunities to explore and discover their world, be active, and come in happy every day.
Children learn within a free flow, open space that is equipped with interactive whiteboards, tablets and Chromebooks. Learning resources are carefully selected and easily accessible to all children throughout the day. Every child is given personalized attention addressed to their natural abilities and preferred learning styles at a pace just right for the child.
Cross-curricular Learning and 21st Century Skills
Lessons and activities are built around interdisciplinary academic concepts and fundamental success skills. The programmes are designed to meet the development of numeracy, literacy, language, science, art, music, movement, practical life, fine and gross motor, and technological skills. They are taught in the context of the real world and the relevant needs of children today. When children discover knowledge across cross-curricular studies, they learn to generate ideas and share with friends. Deep understanding of curricular content becomes a necessity for children to complete their tasks. In turn, knowledge is applied and skills – critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, communication and problem-solving – are developed with each experience. The focus is on inculcating 21st century skills by using project-based learning approaches, hands-on experiences and cooperative sociodramatic play.
Real life experiences are an integral part of learning. Regular field trips connect children with the concepts they are studying and allow them to find answers to their questions from authentic sources. Full-day services including daycare, after-school activities and meals are also available, making it easier for families to make the most of the hours spent in school. The after-school programme includes domestic science, English literature, Chinese fun activities, art and craft, reading and story time, character building, fine motor skills development, and science activities. Through all these opportunities, children develop a lifelong love for learning as they see purpose in the work they do.
An education at Tadika Riang Ceria Meriah offers competency that is both fun and future-oriented. It is about building great minds, shaping kind hearts and giving children the opportunity to grow up in a joyful, supportive place.
