Brainy Bunch Islamic Montessori & his 1st day at school

After we successfully registered this lil boy to BBIM, the new episode/chapter of his life started last Monday…

Before we go to his 1st day experiences, why not we talk about the BBIM itself…feel free to visit their website here 

Their Vision


Brainy Bunch believe that the world can be and Ideal World if everyone follow their true fitrah (nature) through the right education and the right environment. Through Brainy Bunch Islamic Montessori parents will get the best of both worlds—a high-quality education founded on a revolutionary, world recognised educational philosophy that is the Montessori “method” while simultaneously maintaining the need for Islamic teachings and guidance as one’s way of life. Our greater vision is to ensure that educating children through the Islamic Montessori way reaches far and wide all over Malaysia and beyond by committing to our mission of providing extensive training for future teachers of Islamic Montessori who are English proficient and of high standards. May Allah SWT’s blessings be with us, Insha-Allah.


Their Mission

Our mission at Brainy Bunch Islamic Montessori is to produce a new breed of dynamic Muslims with Al-Quran and Hadeeth as their true guidance in life, and who are able to converse fluently in English. Thus, it seeks to coordinate the efforts of parents, teachers, and community members to empower all students to develop, through education, the knowledge, skills, and values needed to create better lives for themselves and build a more just, ideal society based on Islamic values.

    End of the bebelan of the BBIM....now we go to my lil boy 1ST DAY AT SCHOOL


    From Top Left clockwise :
    Having a breakfast
    Wash his hand after had his breakfast
    To calm him down, brought book to the dining area
    Calm him before we entered the school

    Wearing the sports uniform...size XS and kinda fit nicely to him...with new haircut, ermm...dah rasa besar anak mama ni...

    top : during my visit before enroll him
    Bottom : on his 1st day...

    Their Playhouse section turned into sleep area after they have their lunch and shower...anak mama kena tido kt penjuru blek bawah aircond as advised by me since he has asthma..

    top : during my visit before enroll him
    Bottom : on his 1st day during lunch (left) and breakfast (right)...

     

    Their play area can be their daily activities for learning ( reading,coloring and ect), perform prayers and also running during their freetime...hahahaha


    his 1st day..

    and for above, their playhouse (before turn into sleep area) is mainly for kids below 3..where they have block, globes, story books, puzzle and etc...and it will be the section where they can watch television which usually shows educational programmes..

    i leave him on his 1st day while he is having fun reading books with the teacher...but bukan lari sorok2 ok..of coz dia salam n peluk tp nak nangis but when teacher continues reads the book..trus diam...

    I called the teacher around 10am and the teacher said "surprisingly he didnt cry...just for a while looking for mama n babah"...lega hati mama dengar :)..but that was on his 1st day je..hehehe...


    Left : before to school "jom mama"
    After : muka happy x happy after school..hahaha

    mama as stalker berjaya :D

    So sbnrnya on his 1st day...he was not having his lunch alone..but he was the last one leaving the dining area...and bcoz he enjoying his lunch..but me n my mom were wondering..whether he really enjoyed his lunch or he doesnt know what to do next or he thought he has to finish all foods on his plate...hahaha

    End of day 1 for me and hubby as a stalker parents..we sent him that morning and went to Festival City and  membuang masa kt kedai games..lumba kereta ngan hubby..hahaha...then went back to his school intai him having lunch..then went back home..buat  sket keje rumah..then by 2pm mengintai dia tido plus bborak with teachers on his progress...and then layan movie with hubby at wangsa walk...baru la fetch our lil boy by 6pm...

    how the parents membuang masa while anak at school

    Hi My Love... nice informative pics u got there! My son attends Dzuliman's playgroup nearby our office, so he goes with us morning and evening. But ramai plak member2 promote BBIM ni so we're contemplating to send him to BBIM Shah Alam, nearby our house.

    Do you have any experience with other kindies before BBIM? just trying to compare.

    TQ

    yatie said...

    My baby belum msk 2 thn..Jan nnti be sthn lbh,..i need to knw comment/experiece drpd parent yg hntr ank ke playhse BBIM...pls advise tq

    My Love.. said...

    Salam Mama Sya,

    Before BBIM, i sent him to a normal nursery je...i planned to send him to nearby office pya school but since BBIM KL sentral dh bukak..so ke sana kot next year...

    Hows Dzuliman's Playgroup so far? if ok then should continue je x pe kot...

    Salam Yatie,

    since my son still playhouse below 4 yrs so mostly nak impress pasal english tu agak kurang sbb even aunties pn speak in malay as well the kids...

    I ada dengar bad things jgk pasal BBIM...but tu biler anak dah 4 tahun and above (PreSchool)..so we will see next year mcmana...

    but as far as what i noticed utk playhouse, part of displinary jgk coz the kids akan makan sndr...and drg mmg ada daily assembly yang akan belajar asmaul husna...alhamdulillah si kecik kadang2 menyanyi asmaul husna even bunyi je ada...al fatihah pn dh hafal *tp i mmg dh biasakn baca before tido*..and smlm terdengar dia baca terjemahan doa makan in english :)

    Mine was Brainy Bunch Seremban 2. Salaam.

    Saya syorkan Genius Aulad dari Brainy Bunch. Saya hantar anak sorang di Genius Aulad dan sorang di Brainy Bunch sebabkan play school dia, tapi quality guru mmg lain. Brainy Bunch teacher dia tak berapa nk hormat org, buat endah tak endah dgn students. Pernah tu teacher buat muka bila masa kita hantar anak, masa nk balik teacher sibuk ckp phone, pandang pon tak mcm nak cpt2 nk settle hal dkt pintu dpn tu. Saya rasa mcm anak saya ni barang dkt Tesco pulak..sekali tu dh masuk dlm, takde org attend anak saya. So we go talk to Principle dia Liza n try to tell her how we feel about it, tapi elok2 lah coz tak nak la anak kita pulak yg kena nnt kan..., dia ckp its your fault sapa suruh hantar anak lambat. Then we said la elok2 sorry la we have 3 kids to handle in the morning...Liza said..org lain ada anak 3 org jugak!.....hmm sedih ok when the one we expect to teach our kids behaving mcm tu..god knows apa la she will do pada hari2 yg anak2 kita nakal tu..so yeah..tak tau la maybe anak i je kot...tapi sapa tau..maybe org lain kena lagi teruk..wallahualam.

    i rasa tu sbb personally cikgu tu...so mayb la certain campuses lain dari yang lain...

    tp i pn nmpk disadvantage for BBIM..but currently that is the only option i have yang sehala nak ke opis...

    but i xpernah dpt principal mcm tu...last time bebudak ada berebut pensil smpi tapak tangan my son luka,tp dia ok..xnangis n x ckp sakit pn..n esoknya dia xdtg sbb demam tp skejap je pagi tu...tp i malas anta sbb i pn dpt MC (hehehe) n then principle tu called tanya his condition..ingat x dtg becoz of kes berebut tu...

    kita cuba yang terbaik utk anak kita kan...insyaAllah..kalau x sesuai better tukar kot kan..nanti jadi pengalaman ngeri plk utk bebudak tu
