De JowiTop Preschool (Tadika Impian Terbilang), Pontian

“I am from Penang. It was really struggling to find an appropriate preschool for my daughter as I do not know anyone here. I visited many kindergartens to enquire about the skills they use to teach the children. I am not quite satisfied because most of the kindergartens are using Chinese language as the primary language. It is hard for parents like us to cope with since we do not know the language and so how are we going to help our daughter in her learning? In desperation, my husband told me about De JowiTop Preschool. His friends recommended and rated this preschool as one of the best preschool in this area. They said the teaching methods and skills of De JowiTop Preschool are tremendously good and they follow international standards which tailor age appropriate activities to stimulate sensory learning. I am so impressed and we (my husband and I) visited the preschool the next day. Ms Loh greeted us friendly. She explained patiently to us about the school’s rules, techniques and skills they use to guide the children in their studies. De JowiTop uses English as the primary medium language and in subjects teaching including Maths which I’m very concerned of. Besides that, the Moral and Character Buildings education is very well planned. The subject is taught through individual and group presentations. It provides chances for children to voice out their ideas, emotions and to cultivate team spirits. And for Science, it is all hands-on! The children are allowed to do research studies and lab tests to see how things function, and there is always a ‘bring home mini project’ which promotes parents-child relationships. Furthermore, the preschool also have cooking and art and crafts classes. The children can freely play to their creativity. There is many more to say about De JowiTop Preschool. The teachers are so kind and friendly. I have seen a lot of improvements in my daughter. She gets to know how to write her own name within 6 months. She remembers every single thing those teachers taught her. I’m sure it is because of the fun teaching methods and also the activities the teachers plan. I’m very proud and thankful to have sent my daughter to this preschool. My daughter has even learnt to communicate in Chinese with her Chinese friends. This is all because of you, De JowiTop. Thank you very much De JowiTop Preschool for providing the best ever education to the children.”

“Myla was only one year three months when I sent her to De JowiTop. There wasn’t any centre willing to sign her up because of her age and many of them did not speak English. Back then, I was placed by Malaysian Bureau of Education in five primary schools basically to observe, revise their English teaching methods and to provide guidance. I found about De JowiTop from the teachers there. Thanks to Miss Debbie, she is thoughtfulness and really helpful. After hearing my situation, she carefully planned a learning schedule for Myla. It’s flexible of which it fixed my time and at the same time Myla got to join friends and activities. De JowiTop has a good team of trained teachers. They are kind and supportive. They follow children’s learning pace and will consider children’s sensitive periods to tailor appropriate learning activities for them. The learning covers the five major areas of child’s development, namely physical, intellectual, language, social and emotional. The traditional method of “Force and Push” is a big NO in De JowiTop. I’m impressed with the teaching philosophy in early years education of De JowiTop. Children of the town are blessed to have such a wonderful preschool. Myla enjoyed her schooling. She picked up Mandarin in just three months. And she had learnt to perform some simple tasks like putting on pants, feeding herself without making a mess and so on before we flew back to our country. It’s amazing! Note that we were there for no more than ten months. I appreciate everything the teachers did to make impossible possible. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Good work! We love you.”

“当时我们会决定让孩子入读这间学校 De JowiTop，是因为我们觉得这间学校在各方面都相对平衡，不仅有注重到学术，也让孩子能接触到其他生活技能与及音乐等，这让他们有机会体验到学习以为的乐趣。我们相信只有心，智，体的平衡发展，才能筑构出较全面的人格，并健康快乐的成长。 智乐园的老师们都很照顾小朋友，亦非常细心地注意到小细节，这让小问题尚在萌芽阶段即被发现，并得以尽早改善。只有这样，小孩才能培养出好的习惯，以成为他们成长的基石，并奠定了他们未来的发展，长大后才能成为一位对社会有责任，有贡献的人。 老师们会使用有趣的教材以及配合生动的肢体动作来引导孩子学习 ，这样能够让小孩从游戏中学习，让他们自然而然地对学习产生兴趣，并自发地努力学习；而不是填鸭式的硬塞入他们的脑里，一旦厌恶与学习在他们的脑里形成正比，将来就很难让他们体验到学校的乐趣了。 我发现自从入读这间学校后，我的孩子从一个没自信，胆怯，及害怕与陌生人接触的小孩，蜕变成一个活泼开朗，并勇于表达自己感想的人。另外，生活上也有了基础的自理能力，而学习方面也与日俱进，有了显著的进步。 如果没有选择入读这间学校，可能我的孩子就没有如此大的转变。很高兴他很喜欢这间学校的老师和小朋友，也乐于学习。感恩！”

“I think it is a big testimony to De JowiTop Preschool. Our elder son had joined a very good preschool with no problem. We have moved to KL for work and so do our sons. Before moving, Miss Tan had helped to gather information of few preschools for us because we didn’t really know which preschool would suit Vincent better. Although our son has settled down here now, he thinks and talks a lot about his friends and teachers at DeJ. As to compare to his age group, we found that he is advanced in areas of Science and Languages. Thus, our sincere congratulations and thanks to teachers of De JowiTop. Thank you again for the great time that our son had at De JowiTop Preschool and for preparing him very well for the next phrase of learning.”

“My reason for sending my child to De JowiTop is to expose him to a good social interaction and early education as he is an active child, and at his age, it is important for him to start learning to read, write and interact. As I observed, the teachers and the teaching methods are very convincing and effective. My child has improved in his discipline as now he can follow some of our instructions and advices. He becomes a creative boy and is always curious about trying new activities. I hope De JowiTop will always maintain and improve in every way to keep the children's wellbeing as a priority.”
