YGLR, SS2 (Tadika Cahaya Merah), a part of Li Ren preschools, cultivates self-motivated learners with good habits and social skills. Outdoor learning and being able to discover new things through plenty of hands-on, real-life experiences are a valuable part of the curriculum offered here. For this reason, safety is of utmost importance. Even before the coronavirus pandemic, teachers are vigilant about making sure all learning environments are free from preventable risks.
A unique, and helpful, pre-enrollment feature that children undergo before joining the school is a talent and potential consultation conducted by a child psychologist, Mr. Walter Tan. He analyses each child’s individual personality, learning preferences and behavioural patterns. With this insight on hand, teachers can then personalise learning according to the child’s unique style and strengths accurately. As much as possible, teachers make every effort to provide for children’s well-being in the continual strive toward nurturing bright, optimistic and energetic children – the spirit of a “Sunshine Li Ren” education.
