Located in Sungai Buloh, Tadika Suria Preschool provides a warm, child-centred learning environment where children are encouraged to explore, express themselves, and grow at their own pace. The school focuses on nurturing curiosity, independence, and a genuine love for learning through purposeful play and guided exploration.
Beyond the classroom, the school features a large outdoor space with a playground, sand pit, mini suspension bridge, and planting area, offering children ample opportunities for physical activity, sensory exploration, and connection with nature. These outdoor experiences enhance gross and fine motor skills, promote teamwork, and support holistic development including body, mind, and social-emotional growth.
Highlights of Tadika Suria:
Corner Learning
Tadika Suria adopts the self-directed learning approach, where classrooms are organised into different learning corners such as practical life, language, mathematics, art and craft, cognitive, and more. While children are free to choose activities based on their interests, encouraging self-directed learning and decision-making, teachers also ensure that each child is exposed to a balanced range of learning areas. Throughout the process, teachers observe, guide, and support every child, ensuring learning remains purposeful, well-rounded, and developmentally appropriate.
Reggio Emilia-Inspired Learning
Tadika Suria also inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach, which views children as capable, curious, and active learners. Great emphasis is placed on children’s ideas, expression, and participation in the learning process. Teachers encourage children to share their thoughts, ask questions, and explore concepts through hands-on experiences, helping to build confidence, communication skills, and critical thinking from an early age.
Character Building and Values Education
Character education is embedded into everyday routines and interactions. Children are guided to practise discipline, responsibility, and self-management through consistent expectations and positive reinforcement. These daily experiences help children build strong social-emotional skills and respectful behaviour, preparing them for future school life.
Unstructured Play
In addition to structured corners, Tadika Suria encourages Unstructured Play, giving children the freedom to explore and create using a variety of materials. With no fixed outcome, children can build anything they imagine such as houses, tents, or other creative structures. This hands-on play helps develop creativity, problem-solving skills, critical thinking, and independent decision-making, while fostering confidence and collaboration among peers.
Monthly Child Progress Reports
To keep parents informed, teachers prepare monthly child progress reports based on continuous observation. Through careful monitoring, teachers can identify each child’s strengths, learning preferences, and areas that need support. These insights provide parents with clear guidance on their child’s development, helping them understand milestones, behaviour growth, and giving practical direction to support learning in the future.
