FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION (F.A.Q)
Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh, and welcome to Soleh Squad Islamic Preschool (SSIP). We are truly honoured by your interest in our program and grateful that you are considering SSIP as part of your child’s early education journey.
F.A.Q
Soleh Squad is an Islamic preschool (SSIP) education catered towards 4 to 6 years old children. We design our own syllabus program following the National Preschool Curriculum Standard set by The Ministry of Education Malaysia KSPK.
The syllabus is complete with a set of facilities for the students to learn beyond the classroom. It emphasize the importance of promoting the mental, physical and spiritual development of children. Under this system, our teachers do not use a one-size-fits-all approach as children learn in different ways at different paces.
Our school hours are 7:00am-6:30pm at SSIP. Monday through Friday, we have free early drop off at 7:00 a.m. and late pickup beyond 6:30 p.m.
Late pickup charges are as follows: MYR6.00 for the first half hour, MYR12.00 for the entire hour.
For example, at 6:40 p.m., parents can be picked up (parent must pay MYR6.00 to SSIP)
The first few days of school are known as “Phase-In.” During a transition period children will meet their new teachers and classmates, and are gradually familiarized with school and classroom routines. Parents or guardians will receive a specific schedule for your child's transition. If you are in doubt as to whether you should leave the classroom ask your child’s teacher. One parent is expected to be available for portions of Phase-In to meet their children’s teachers and to fill out appropriate forms. The length of time it takes before your child attends a full schedule will depend on the age and the individual child. Children are all unique.
Never try to sneak out while your child is engaged in an activity. Always give a kiss or hug and say “goodbye” and most importantly, always say that you’re coming back. Teachers and Director are available to help any child who is having a particularly tough transition and teachers will provide necessary feedback to parents during the process.
Separation anxiety is a normal developmental stage where children experience anxiety when they are separated from their parent. Separation is a process. Some children have no separation anxiety and some children experience anxiety for several weeks. It is important to comfort the child and let them know it is okay to cry or feel upset. Teachers manage separation by utilizing proven strategies to lessen the unknown, such as classroom visitation, consistent schedules and routines, bringing familiar items from home, and creating a open and honest communication with parents.
All of our teachers have a Degree/Diploma in Early Childhood Education and are certified in Early Childhood Education. Above all, we seek teachers with experience and passion to be in this field. All staff members undergo a intensive teacher training SSIP also provides continuing in-service training and enables teams of teachers to attend conferences and workshops to bring back the latest in concepts, methods, and materials.
Our staff meetings with the educational director serve as one of the most important training and resource gathering periods for our teachers. Our teachers have the energy, intellect, and charisma that take children on a magical and challenging voyage of discovery. Our teachers are well-educated and nurturing people who respect the children’s need for security while encouraging autonomy.
We provide a nurturing program that unfolds the authentic spirit and character of each child while educating their hearts and minds.
Our teachers seek to instill a deep and lasting academic excellence, one that prepares children to learn confidently for the rest of their lives and to give generously and joyfully to others.
Our curriculum focuses on activity-based settings to educate students for academic excellence and personal integrity in a diverse coeducational community that emphasizes responsibility, stimulates collaboration, and promotes mutual respect. Students learn to have confidence, independence, high self-esteem and develop a joy of learning.
In SSIP teachers and management are always available to speak with parents about any concern, and a parent may request a meeting with their child’s teachers at any time. Dropping off or picking up can be a busy time for staff.
We encourage you to make an appointment so that undivided attention may be given to you. Teachers will communicate regularly with parents about their child’s progress and milestones being reached.
