 Parenting is not a subject that we can easily learn from books. Once we become
parents, it takes us a lifetime assuming the role despite the different stages
of parenthood that with the change of responsibilities and commitment.
Bringing up a child can mean a whole load of responsibilities to many busy
parents. It may take a longer time to know and understand your child’s
character and behavior as he or she grows up.
Smart Reader Kids Junior® has a specially designed programme that provides
quality educational experience and care for toddlers aging 15 months to 3 years
old. Dr Rashmi Saini and her husband, Dr Hardeep Singh, parents to 3-year old
Arvind Singh Kaulsay shared some of their views and experiences on early childhood
development and preschool education.
“We just want Arvind to be comfortable with an interactive learning
environment and build up on things he couldn’t learn from home. We want
him to learn and mix around with other children under proper supervision. Both
my husband and I are quite tied up with our profession as doctors. We believe
that it is not a wise idea to just leave Arvind at home with the maid when he
is supposed to enjoy and interact with other kids his age in a nursery cum day-care
centre,” said Dr Rashmi, who started her only son with Smart Reader Kids
Junior® Damansara Heights last year after doing much researches on programmes
available for toddlers.
Dr Rashmi feels that domestic helpers are only there to assist and help around
at home. Children deserve a proper educational centre to help stimulate their
thinking minds from young.
Arvind’s dad, Dr Hardeep Singh expressed that he was very impressed
with the toddlers’ self-confidence during their performances at the Smart
Reader Kids Junior® Concert in Bukit Kiara last year. He said that he
was amazed by the teachers’ unlimited patience and care in guiding and
educating these very young children.
“While the children are comfortable mingling around with others and
love their learning environment, they can absorb knowledge easily and are able
to express themselves better. We are happy that Arvind is developing a positive
personality and self-confidence through various activities, which he could not
possibly experience that from home,” continued Dr Rashmi.
According to Dr Rashmi, due to her husband’s and her busy working schedules,
it is difficult for them to spend quality time with Arvind. However, both the
parents believe that whenever they have the time, they will make time for their
son. Other than that, they are just happy that Arvind is growing up healthily
in the right environment.
When asked on the meaning of parenting, both parents feel that it is very
important to provide unconditional love and care for the children, especially
during their growing years. Besides being there for them when they need us, we
also need to be like a friend to them, someone that the kids can relate to.
"Arvind is very inquisitive about his surroundings.
He always asks a lot of questions whenever he has the chance. Sometimes, it takes
us extra effort to put him to bed. He is just too active"“Arvind

According to Ms Harbans Kaur, or better known as Mrs Singh, the principal
of Smart Reader Kids Junior® Damansara Heights, Arvind is a very disciplined
and obedient child. He follows instructions well and always volunteer to do things
in the Centre. He is well loved by everyone in the Centre and often gets attention
for being friendly and outspoken.
Dr Rashmi added that her son always rushes her to leave the house early in
the morning to be in time for the school assembly, which starts at nine. “He
just loves to be there for the singing session,” said Dr Rashmi.
Smart Reader Kids Junior® incorporates the Smart Reader® Creative
Teaching Methodology in the fun and play sessions at the Centre.
