Small Wonder Malaysia, Gombak (Formerly Happy Bear Preschool)

我有两个孩子都是就读Happy Bear Pre-school ( Year 2015-2018 & 2017-2021), 这期间孩子独立了很多，在家里自己的事情能自己做，进步和改变让我做家长的感到特别欣慰，我非常感谢多位老师对孩子耐心细致的教育。 我也感谢老师们注重全面教育，除了重教，更重育人对孩子无微不至的关心和爱护，用自己的爱心、耐心照顾孩子一天天长大，为孩子创造出活泼、舒适、多彩的幼年生活，使幼儿园成为孩子的第二个家，给了孩子太多太多的美好回忆! 疫情期间 Mummy Bear都遵守防疫步骤，保护每个baby bear的安全令我做家长的感到十分放心让孩子去上学。在此特别感谢院长耐心聆听家长面对孩子的问题也乐于分享方案和给予帮助，感恩深藏在心底，真诚的说一声：老师们，辛苦了! 谢谢你们!

I have only one kid, and surely I wanted the best for my kid. And surely I got the best for my kid. My kid joined Happy Bear When she was 2.5 years old as she is a December kid. I am very grateful to the wonderful teachers and helpers at Happy Bear as they help to build a very stable foundation for my kid. I never have to worry on how my child is doing at Happy Bear . I was so confident with the teachers , so much so, the moment I drop her off I can do my work peacefully. I am so grateful to Teacher Sheena for instilling healthy eating habits in my kid. I never had a dilemma Of kid not eating vegetables. Her favourite meals at the HBP are also being made at home as she constantly asks for it. Her favourite food is pumpkin porridge and corn soup (with mushrooms). Not forgetting her learning activities such as the chickens, movie days and art & craft. Also a peak for my daughters HBP days is the play area. That was what I love the most. Kids come in play first. The mushroom house.. the new slide. I am so very grateful again and I'm so happy I made a good choice. I also remember my husbands words Can she stay in HBP until the very end. I just love that school.

It was my first time enrolling our boy to pre-school in 2018 and I had indeed a tough time deciding which school to go for. I went around asking for opinions and advices from friends and was lucky to be recommended Happy Bear Pre-school. Like most kids, before joining pre-school, my boy was being taken care by a nanny. Nanny’s as usual do not teach much but resort to using TV to entertain my boy and to let him play with whatever he could find. Sad to say, at the age of 32 months, my boy still speaks very minimal and generally do not like playing with other kids. When I first sent him to HBP, I was a bit worried that he might not be able to cope but he proved me wrong. I was very happy that I could see a drastic change in him after attending school within the 1st month. He has improved a lot and he is now very independent and confident in his speech. He has also learnt to make new friends and is excited to go to school and learn new things each day. I believed all the pre-school programs and the teachers’ guidance has helped him a lot and I truly appreciate all efforts of the HBP teachers. A big thank you to all the teachers of HBP, we are so glad we found you!

I remembered 8 years or 9 years ago when I noticed that there are some renovations going on at the corner's house near my in-law's place. To my surprise, another preschool! Well, there were a lot of preschools around that area. But something caught my eyes. Not sure if it's the CUTE HAPPY BEAR or the environment I see from the gate that I took a liking of. Anyway, I made a note to myself to have it checked out once my girl reached the age of 3+. When the day come, me and my husband went to a few preschools but we settled at HAPPY BEAR. The decision that I didn't regret until today. As my girl steps into primary one, leaving HAPPY BEAR was the hardest thing for her. She loves going to HAPPY BEAR! She made friends not only at her age but I believe that all the teachers are friends to her. Academically? I feel that children in the aged of 3 to 6 should have FUN while LEARNING. That's what I see throughout the 4 years in HAPPY BEAR. She comes home with big smiles and happy heart, telling me the story of her friends and teachers and even the helpers which I think is crucial for children to develop confidence and independence. And now my second girl is with HAPPY BEAR just like her big sister. Why I have chosen HAPPY BEAR? Besides it is clean and bright, all the teachers are happy, friendly and approachable. I never heard once from my girl that she is scared with any teacher. One might say: A student needs to be scared of teachers.But I got to say is: a student needs not fear teachers but respect them, treat them as friends as they are "the other adult" that your children see everyday. HAPPY BEAR teachers treat their students as one of their own, no doubt about this. I have nothing but praises for Teacher Sheena and her team at HAPPY BEAR. They have done a great job with the children. As what she once said:"A child future is shaped during their early education," what I truly agree and believe.

School have big and clean classrooms. All the teachers are very nice and friendly. Most importantly, my child loves Happy Bear Preschool and enjoys her school life. She is always happy in school.
