And whether your child is with us all the way through or only for a short period of time, we can promise you this: they will thrive and succeed here.
So, what exactly does the Star R Kidz difference look like?
Reggio Inspired
The largely influenced philosophy of the Reggio Emilia Method of teaching and learning has many educational concepts we value deeply at the Emilia School and it inspires our importance of working with children daily. Our aim is to provide and create an exceptional learning environment where children can explore, learn, develop, and most importantly feel a sense of belonging. Our team works alongside our children to research, create, discover, play, and provide a diverse range of learning experiences tailored toward each child’s individual stage of development and personal interests.
Bilingual Learning Environment
We immerse children in both English and Chinese to cultivate the bilingual, biliterate, culturally mindful child. At Star R Kidz, we co-create with our families a joyful environment each day, fully present in each moment, instilling a lifelong love of learning and close community connection;
Our language immersion programs are offered for Toddlers through age 5, English and Chinese. Languages are learned through the immersion process, meaning children learn languages naturally through participating in games, songs, activities and social connections. We offer two language pipelines to choose from: Single Language Program or Dual Language Program. In our Single Language Program, your child can learn either English or Chinese. If you choose our Dual Language Program, your child can learn both English and Chinese.
Second Home Atmosphere
As the child takes the first step into a new world, it’s essential that this transition is a joyful ride for both – parent & child. We offer a safe and secure environment that can be trusted and helps counter the parent’s anxiety. At Star R Kidz, as a part of our ‘Child First’ philosophy, we ensure to provide a safe and fun based learning environment with emphasis on a child’s development making it the ideal out of home experience. From child friendly furniture, skill building toys, equipment and programs to CCTV monitoring, every innovation at Star R Kidz is aimed at offering children the freedom to play, explore and experience, making learning a lot more fun.
Preparing Academically for Kindergarten
We help students prepare for kindergarten. Children who attend a Star R Kidz will be taught pre-literacy and pre-math skills. They are exposed to letters, numbers, shapes, and colors. These skills help prepare a foundation for when kindergarten begins. We promise that Children who attend Star R Kidz will graduate with larger vocabularies, stronger basic math skills and better pre-reading skills , and can work together to discover new information, solve problems creatively, and have enough vocabulary to share their thinking, feelings, and ideas.
