In Amazing Kids, we believe that children will learn best when they learn to listen well and focus well. Listening well requires children to keep quiet when others are speaking. Here, children are trained to put up their hands to ask questions when they don’t understand. They are only allowed to do so when others have finished speaking. Then, they wait until their name is called. They are encouraged to ask questions politely, by saying “Please.”
As for focusing well, children are to look at the speaker when they are spoken to. In Amazing Kids, children are taught to have eye contact with the speaker. This way, children learn to respect the speaker. At the same time, they establish a relationship with the speaker.
What happens when children listen well and focus well? Well, well, well, they will complete their tasks with excellence!

Look At Me
Why should children learn about their ‘self’?
It is important for children to know who they are because they are unique and have individual identities. No one child is alike. Knowing that they are special will help them to have a good self-esteem. Children with good self-esteem naturally exert self-confidence. Confident children will overcome all challenges they face positively. Nonetheless, it is equally important for children to know their physical self. Knowing their physical self will encourage them to care and protect their body (hygiene, health, and safety). Besides that, knowing their body well will add on to their confidence too.
The children learnt about their body parts, the functions of their body parts, and how to care for their body in the first quarter of the year. The learning experiences were carried out through creative activities like making a mask, drawing facial expressions on balloons, building a body using balloons, crawling on stools, hopping around like kangaroos, crawling like little green iguanas, clapping to musical rhythms and watching videos.

It's Always Joyous And Fun
It's always joyous and fun in Amazing Kids. Yes, children love to have fun because they have the right to have fun. Here, in Amazing Kids, besides helping the children to achieve academically, children are encouraged to explore their world with their creativity. As you can see from the pictures, the children could build a house using cushions and 'sarongs' with their imagination. They can pretend play as princesses, fairies, or superheroes with the costumes and masks. They tell stories which delight their friends. They play hide-and-seek by tracing their friends' footsteps. There is so much to learn from them. They are such a fun and joyous team to work and be with. Thank you Amazing Kids for making learning a fun and joyous experience!
