As a parent, I am concern with my kids’ learning and educational
progress. I believe a good education is important to prepare them for the
future. But how do we choose a good pre-school and school out from so many? I
have personally visited a few kids learning centres in Klang Valley and found
out that actually each of them have their own strength. Today I’m sharing with
you one of my favourite kids learning centre is LetzHop™ Mind Enrichment Center
at PJ Uptown.
Sesame
Street English – a comprehensive learning platform that caters to teaching
children English was introduced in Malaysia by LetzHop Eduspace Sdn Bhd. Designed by the non-profit educational group behind the
iconic children’s TV series Sesame Street; the Sesame Workshop goes beyond just
academic learning by focusing on creating a curriculum that addresses learning
by encompassing all aspects of your child’s growth.
Sesame Street English began as a simple idea in the
United States to teach children through television and 40 years later is a
worldwide educational phenomenon that has reached millions of children in more
than 150 countries. Each programme is specifically tailored to the unique needs
of children based on their country, culture and local educators, the Sesame
Street English programme has produced sustainable quantifiable results.
"Using today’s technology, Sesame Street English represents the evolution
of the interactive learning experience, and engages and provides children with
the opportunity to enjoy focused lessons that will build the foundation for
English proficiency” - Sesame Workshop.
The key mission of the Sesame Workshop is to harness
the educational power of media to help children everywhere reach their highest
potential. Classes are taught through media interaction with an emphasis on
content learning, in the same way that the mother tongue is taught. Focusing on
doing more than just ABCs and 123s, Sesame Street English allows the children
to be able to interact with the Sesame Street characters via multimedia devices
as well as through songs, dance and traditional academic worksheets. All of
course outfitted with the names, faces and culture of Sesame Street.
Each child is greeted upon entering class in true
Sesame Street style with a lot of laughter and a large dose of fun. Children go
into class and learn, sing and dance with the familiar faces of their favourite
furry muppet characters.
Elmo, Big Bird, Cookie Monster and the whole Sesame
Street family are present in every aspect of the course from classrooms, from
the wallpaper, the uniform, teaching exercises and even on the worksheets,
everything has been officially licensed and comes directly imported from the
Sesame Street Workshop.
The environment, the characters and materials all work
towards establishing a high impact productive environment that goes beyond just
learning how to read and write. The Sesame Street characters become lifelong friends
that will be there to teach, learn and guide your child through all the
critical development points of their early years.
LetzHop™ Mind Enrichment Center at PJ Uptown is fully carpeted for extra safety of the children.
Working together with like-minded foundations such as
LetzHopTM has been the critical link in continuing the growth
of the Sesame Workshop. LetzHopTM is set to bring the Malaysian
edutainment market to the next level with the introduction of Sesame Street
English; the class brings a new take on interactive entertainment so that
children grow to learn that education and fun go hand in hand. Right now the
Sesame Street Workshop has expanded around Asia to Japan, China, Taiwan and now
Malaysia.
LetzHop Eduspace was founded as a subsidiary under
MMSC Ventures Sdn Bhd, one of Malaysia’s most established e-Learning solutions
provider in Malaysia. Endorsed by the Ministry of Education and Jabatan
Pendidikan Negeri Selangor, each centre is required to have professional
teachers with a Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL) certificate or a
diploma in English or Education. The company has grown quickly over the year
and now boasts 6 centres in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor and are planning to open
more around Malaysia over the course of the next year.
My girl and the other kids had enjoyed LetzHopTM interactive
programme a lot during the 2 hours trial class. We parents are amazed with the outcome of play and learn technique that it is applying. I like that they adopts small class method, which is maximum 10 students with 2 teachers in a class. The Sesame Street Kid’s Learning Programme is suitable for kids from 6 months to 12 years old. Apparently the PJ
Uptown branch has program for special children (e.g. Autism children) to train
the students to familiarize themselves in a real home environment.
Healthy snacks are prepared for the children
Puan Aishah Abdul Rahman, Executive Director of
Letzhop Eduspace Sdn Bhd says “Malaysia is a tri-lingual country with the main
language being Malay, but English remains an important part of our lives. The
Sesame Street English programme aims to not only teach but inspire and give
children the confidence to speak English as a native speaker. This unique
programme that combines education and entertainment is the right formula that
gives high impact of a productive learning that excites and keeps children
coming back for more”.
