It has been a while since i wrote anything to update my parents as well as general public of our progress. I would like to explain about our centre milestone.
What is milestone. For Krista Nusaputra, achievement is about attaining agreed set of ability. Therefore we emphasize on rewarding children on their accomplishment on attaining set goal rather than rewarding them based on score attained.
In Krista Nusaputra, there is no competition amongst them. The competition is against set goals. So long the children achieve the set goals, they are certified as winner.
Examples, for english reading class, we have set goals to be achieved by every age group. By end of the year, so long as they achieve the minimum standard set, they will be recognise as a winner. They achieve their set goal.
There a difference is ability to grasp new things amongst all kids. However, we believe each and everyone of our kids can be coach to achieve minimum standard. Time taken by each kids may differ but they all will get there by end of year. That is our hope and MILESTONE.
For Reading English class, below is standard set for each age group.
Age Milestone
4 Able to independently read Peter and Jane book 5a.
5 Able to independently read Peter and Jane book 7b.
6 Able to independently read Peter and Jane book 11a.
For mathematics, a simmilar milestone is set. So long the kids can be assessed against this milestone and able to master the required skill set in milestone, they are on track. Of course there will be kids whom able to move further than required milestone. We strive in making sure they will be on faster track but at the same time effort will be put to ensure the rest of kids meet our required milestone.
With milestone, we believe the kids will be better equipped for the primary schooling. There will be kids whom able to score 100% on every subject, but if all kids can score perfect score on milestone related question, then we know they are ready for next level.
I will post soon on mathematics milestone in next posting.

Institusi Pendidikan Swasta / Private Education Institution
Few parent recently asked me about the difference between Tadika and Pusat Perkembangan Ilmu. Well i thought i share the difference in all private education system that exist in Malaysia.
Our private education comes under the purview of Ministry of Education. There is several categories which include the following:
1. Tadika. (Kindergarten)
2. Sekolah swasta (Private school) (Agama, Primary, Secondary and International/Antarabangsa)
3. Perkembangan/ Kemahiran (Child enrichment, MLVK, Computers school etc)
4. Pusat Tuisyen (Tuition center)
How do we recognize them? Easy just refer to their license. If their operating license read out Pusat Perkembangan ilmu, then they are under category 3.
What is the difference between 1 and 3? Some claiming to be tadika but has license under category 3. Well it is all under same Ministry with differing guidelines. Tadika has to comply with National curriculum and their operation must be in Taman (House). Pusat perkembangan is all about enriching specific skill sets and therefore free from curriculum adherence (they follow their own curriculum) plus they operate out of shop lots. You can see there is big difference when it comes to preparing your kids for school (primary which is what tadika is set out to do) against enrichment (such as mathematics skills) which not necessarily prepares your child entry to schooling world.
Why then there is some tadika in shop lot? The answer is they are pusat perkembangan and not tadika. Thus they are not govern by National curriculum. It depends on what the parent want as end result. Pusat Perkembangan has its own strength in preparing specifics skill set such as English, Mathematic or computer. Tadika has to include other aspect such as Moral, Physical Education and Religious subject.
So if the license on the sign board start with Pusat Perkembangan then they are not license under Tadika? Yes. Tadika license start with TADIKA XXXXXX. Similarly tuition license start with Pusat Tuisyen XXXXX.
I hope I had managed to clear the air about this topic. After all I guess many parent are already planning to register their children in school and thus has this specific question raised.
