Young Thinkers


..
In 2002, mothers Marisa Harun and Raihan Halaluddin combined their vast teaching experience (of over 20 years) to establish a school for early education. They believed children should learn and be encouraged to think for themselves and thus created Young Thinkers – an educational hub aimed at developing cognitive and social skills that enable children to become better learners and communicators.

At Young Thinkers, the children and teaching staff are like a big extended family. Completely at-ease with the surroundings, the children are free to be themselves. The teachers are able to make learning fun because they really enjoy what they do.

Learning for Life
Young Thinkers utilizes creative and innovative programs to enhance children’s educational experience in their discovery and quest for knowledge. The Playgroup develops concentration, coordination and sense of order through subjects such as practical life, sensorial and culture, number work and language, using Montessori materials together with specimens, experiments, group discussions, arts, music and movement and field trips.


Children are taught in small groups or individually to ensure all children will be able to read, write and count. Young Thinkers syllabus for children 4-6, is designed to build a strong foundation in addition to support future education and ease transition into primary school. This topics related to basic and familiar elements and concepts in a child’s daily environment makes the learning experience as hands on as possible.

Cultivating Confident Communicators
Young Thinkers places strong emphasis on language development specifically in English and Bahasa Malaysia. Phonetics and whole language are introduced early to build extroverted and confident individuals.

Facilities include library and playground area. Arts and crafts and music are thematically included in the curriculum.

Regular parental contact enables the exchange of ideas between parents and teachers.
