With its doors now open, this bungalow turned preschool embodies the culmination of 25 years of professional work dedicated to experiential learning, fuelled by love and unwavering passion. Just as a compass symbolises guidance and assurance in direction, the name My Little Compass reflects the preschool’s mission to steer each child onto a lifelong journey of purposeful development, character building and a profound affinity for adventure throughout their lives.
As children step through its doors, My Little Compass embraces a heartfelt belief that every child is a precious gem, deserving personal attention, exceptional education and a safe space for their best selves to flourish without bounds. Within this nurturing environment, children will not only thrive but also be celebrated for their unique strengths, kindling a lifelong love of learning guided by committed teachers.
Embracing Montessori and Play-based philosophies, My Little Compass finds its bedrock in the subsequent 3 core values, with each value infusing vitality into the preschool’s dedication to encouraging children to grow to their fullest potential.
Unearthing the Wonders of Learning Through Play
At My Little Compass, the importance of play in a child’s learning journey is deeply ingrained. Recognising that play is the gateway to holistic development, the preschool creates an environment where play is not just an activity but a cornerstone of education. Through a myriad of engaging activities that sparkle with creativity, the teachers here turn every moment into a chance for little ones to explore and have fun. With every new concept learnt, every new idea discovered, every challenge worked out and every friendship formed, My Little Compass is where the magic of learning through play comes to life, creating treasured memories and a strong foundation for a bright future.
Back-to-the-Basics: Pure Joys of Discovery
The teachers at My Little Compass also seek to reignite the unadulterated delight of bygone childhood experiences, such as the pure joy of engaging in outdoor adventures and creating imaginative games without screens, forming the foundation for learning. In doing so, My Little Compass offers children the invaluable opportunity to relish the purity of these simple moments, encapsulating the core of childhood, which is hard to come by for the current generation.
Guided Exploration: Fostering Creativity, Collaboration, and Individuality
Drawing inspiration from the principles of The Montessori Method as well as the core tenets of play-based learning, the teachers at My Little Compass promote plenty of safe, independent exploration opportunities, often through guided hands-on activities, for children to learn about the world around them. As children engage with materials and subjects in depth, while progressing at their own pace, it sparks creativity, hones adeptness in problem-solving skills, and instils a collaborative spirit with peers.
The core of the approach at My Little Compass is to provide a supportive, caring environment where close attention is given to children’s holistic development and the acquisition of skills through the breadth of the following programmes offerings:
Infant (3 Months – 1½ Years Old)
Catering to the developmental needs of infants starting from the age of 3 months, maintaining a safe and comfortable environment is paramount. This specialised programme ensures each infant receives the individualised attention and care needed to build a strong foundation of trust and emotional security. A variety of age-appropriate sensory stimulations are in place to support early development. The caregivers at My Little Compass regularly observe the infants’ behaviour, understanding and responding to their cues, and track milestones to ensure everyone is healthy and progressing well.
Toddler (1½ – 3 Years Old)
Throughout the ages of 1½ to 3 years, the innate curiosity of young minds becomes the driving force behind the structure of the Toddler Programme. It harmoniously merges Montessori and Play-based approaches, resulting in an immersive and captivating learning experience. The integration of Montessori practices empowers toddlers to embrace independence and hands-on learning, cultivating their ability to make decisions. Under the guidance of the trained teachers, toddlers engage with age-appropriate materials that bolster both confidence and cognitive growth. Concurrently, the Play-based philosophy seamlessly complements the Montessori methodology by harnessing play as a natural avenue for learning. Through play, toddlers embark on journeys of exploration, fostering social skills, and nurturing problem-solving abilities. The incorporation of imaginative play and interactive activities further fine-tunes motor skills and continues to nurture their inherent sense of curiosity.
Nursery (3 – 4 Years Old)
The Nursery Programme at My Little Compass highlights the transformative influence of Montessori principles on the development of young minds. The curriculum seamlessly integrates broad areas of learning into the daily schedule, including immersive dramatic play, art, rhythmic music and movement, storytelling, and outdoor play, promoting creative imagination, passion for different interests and a love of learning. While the primary language of instruction is English, the programme is thoughtfully planned to include both Mandarin and Bahasa Malaysia, so that children can excel in formal schooling, no matter which type of primary school they choose to go to later.
Enrichment (2 – 4 Years Old)
My Little Compass aspires to add a broad dimension to school life. At present, an Intensive Mandarin Programme is available for children aged 2 to 4 years to lay the groundwork for a comprehensive linguistic foundation. Additional enrichment programmes will be introduced based on the needs and interests of the children, ensuring a well-rounded educational experience.
For parents seeking a transformative early learning experience that values the true essence of childhood, the power of a Montessori play-based approach to learning, and the individuality of each child, My Little Compass shines prominently.
