THE BEST METHOD

Although there are a few similarities regarding the environment for both pre-schools, if we have to pick a pre-school which we prefer the method more, we would choose Tadika Diglosia. As mentioned before, Tadika Diglosia practice the Montessori method and they prefer teaching their students using hand-on experience; which is through play. We thought that it is interesting because it is easier to teach children by having fun than formal ways. Eventhough the children may not know that they are going through learning process, the teachers know what is the purpose of the activity and manage to deliver the learning context. We are also impressed with the center that uses English fully though it is not situated in the big cities like Kuala Lumpur, but small town of Jitra, Kedah. The teacher did say that it is not easy for the first few weeks, but the children will eventually catch up since that is their nature. Because of the two main reasons stated above, we chose Tadika Diglosia for the kindergarten that we prefer more.
