Taska Chrysalis (Delicate Years)

Chrysalis had a change of name from Delicate Years. The principal, Roze has the best personality amongst all the principals I've spoken to or met. She deserves a medal for just that.
From giving me the directions to get to Taska Chrysalis to texting me with the website address to bringing me through all possible details that I needed about the place... the patience and effort she showed won my respect.

This place takes in infants as young as 2 months old till 6 years old. The baby nursery is well kept, well lid, clean and tidy. Nothing fancy or Crate and Barrel about this place but it's comfortable and clean. The owner's mother helped out with the babies and a nurse who is dedicated to looking after the babies.

They use the better brands of skin care.
The children were well behaved. There was not one who talked aloud. They cap the number of students to about 20 odd. 1 teacher to 8 students in a class.
The syllabus is according to US (Scholastic) and UK, so it's good for parents who haven't decided which school to send their children to after they're done with Kindy.
It's not a very huge place, but the classrooms are spacious enough.
Not enough books, if you asked me. Plenty of other options for stimulation like art & craft, music & movement, etc. Those things come under enrichment classes, so additional fee is to be taken into consideration. They said transport can be arranged with a fee starting from RM100 for 2 ways depending on the location. Field trips are held once a year only.

I love that they have waterplay and sandplay. Love that the children are introduced to music instruments at a young age. Love that they have children sized toilets and sinks. Love the uniform although I loathe the idea of having uniforms put on my son. Already it's a struggle to get his diaper changed in the morning, let alone putting on the uniform on him. I would definitely consider sending my child to this place if not for the distance. 
Wonderful people!
Lovely place.

Kinderland Brickfields

Kinderland Brickfields is in fact in Taman Seputeh right next to the furniture mall.
They used to be in Brickfields which is also the reason for the majority of the students, about 95%, being Indians. All the teachers are Indians too. The classrooms are tiny and rather cluttered.

Was told that the children get outdoor and indoor playtime. They go by thematic play and learn method but too bad that there's no reading exercises at all for the 3 year old class, only 4 years old onwards.
There's a list of transporters.

I'm not keen on this place for several reasons.

The menu is one.
I asked the principal if they could omit certain kinds of food or drinks off my child's meals and she said they can do that. But I don't get why they serve Ribena, Chrysanthemum tea, Milo and sweet drinks to children.
Really.
The principal said that's what they do. That's what they've been doing all these past 5 years and they will not consider changing the menu.
The bathrooms are quite small. I didn't get to tour the 1st floor... was told they're in the midst of furbishing the rooms. There's suppose to be a music room and a reading room on the floor above.

I like the concept of thematic play and learn but no reading at all?
Sad.
