ENGLISH ISLAMIC KINDERGARDEN

manjakani

Salam All,

Memang peningkan nak cari kindy yang terbaik untuk anak2. Actually manjakani ada anak twins. A boy and a girl. Yang boy tu autistic so selalu masuk thread "Anak Comelku Autistic Spectrum Disorder" dalam Parenting Tips and Issues. Kesian gak kat my daughter. Mummy dia asyik dok concentrate kat her bro yang autistic je so sekali sekala kena la search pasal education dia lak....

I think I have been searching for the right kindy for my daughter ni dah dekat 2 tahun kot... since she was two. Masa tu tak banyak sangat English Islamic Kindy but nowdays, I'm glad and happy to know that dah banyak English Islamis Kindy yang tumbuh. Dulu I think kindy yang bawah Khalifah Instiute like Tadika Qasrina, Adni kat Ulu Kelang tu, Young Ambassadors yang semuanya gunakan Khalifah Method. And the good part is medim of instruction in English. But nowdays, ada genius aulad, tadika atfal, Nuh's Ark, Azzarif, and a few others yang tekankan English as medium of instruction.

I remember masa i kindy hunting. I think I went to nearly 12 kindy in my area. Yang English medium, agamanye pulak entah kemana. Kite tanya ada Agama class pun, macam nak tak nak je layan kita. Yang Islamic kindy, the agama aspect memang bagus, ada KAFA, Iqra, Hafala, Doa, Practical and so on an so fourt lah but bab Eglish hancus...

Manjakani nak anak manjakani belajar hal2 agama ni dari awal n bestnye tengok budak 6 tahun yang boleh baca Quran lancar dalam Mari Mengaji TV9 tu kan... but at the same time I don't want her to be lacking on her English. Ye lah...budak2 sekarang if they can't converse and speak good english akan ketinggalan. kat sek Maths and science pun dah in english.

Next year she's going to be 5. Now she's 3 1/2 years tapi by year she's actually 4 la kan so now she's n a kindy but more iof a play school. I jez put her there so that she can mingle and make friends. Tak belajar sangat coz i don't want to stress her so much. I just want her to play. Tiap2 hari bile pi ambik dia tanya belajar apa hari ni, n tiap2 hari jugak la dia jawab main puzzle and blocks. Actually she has known her A B Cs sampai Z when she was two I yang ajar sendiri and 1 to 20. Not only the numbers but actual fact that 1 stands to 1 bende and 2 stands to 2 bende and so on and so fourth lah. tapi since this year I dok sebok dengan my autistic son tu I less concentrate on her and serahkan bulat2 kat cikgu. N sekarang when I ask the teacher why my daughter tak leh membaca lagi, the teacher cakap yang 4 years old memang tak de class, they all banyak main and mingle je. When they feel they want to learn, they all boleh masuk je class 5 years old. I nak tergelak jugak... Habih tu yang aku bayau RM545 registration fee and RM150 monthly tu, kindy pi buat apa. bayau for free ke?...:@ Padahal, masa early this year, masa I register tu I dah bagitau dah yang I nak anak I mingle and make friends and I want her to be able to read because I memang dok tengah ajar dia membaca. Siap beli set 'Bacalah Anakku' lagi. Tapi smpi sekarang dok kat kindy, tak tau baca apa lagi. Tapi one thing yang I boleh kasi credit, dia dah pandai menulis ABC smpi Z walaupun kanag2 terterbalik. Now, tiap2 malam before tidur mesti dia paksa i bacakan buku untuk dia. I kesian tengok dia. Selalu dok belek2 buku 'Bacalah Anakku' tu tapi tak tau baca.

Kadang2 I torn jugak between the two of them. Nak buat home programme and training for the brother lagi, nak keep track of the sister lagi. Bile I punye stress level meningkat, I will ask my hubby to come back on time from work. I cakap dalam phone, 'you jangan la balik lambat hari ni please.... i dah stress ni.... tolong la take over the twins jap from me'. Alhamdullillah setakat ni hubby memahami. Iskh..teroff topic lak.

Berbalik kepada English Islamic Kindy ni, I sincerely recommend these kindies for our kids. Ye lah, sama2 untuk saham akhirat. Kang anak kita pandai setinggi mana pun, tak tau baca Quran, tak tau doa, tak tau solat, susah jugak kita nanti. Kalau kita dah tak de siapa la nak tolong bacakan doa untuk kita bagi terang sikit kubur kita...

Insyaallah next year 2009 she's 5. I'll be registering her with Tadika Atfal. Here's the web, http://www.atfal-kids.com/ all infos are there. Happy Kindy Hunting to all.
