When choosing a kindergarten, parents look beyond how much their child will learn. They also want to know whether teachers will truly understand their child and whether the programme can support language, thinking skills, character and personal interests.
Located in Setia Indah, Johor Bahru, Tadika Setia Bestari, also known as Millennium Kids Kindergarten, has provided small-class trilingual education for children aged 3 to 6 since 2003. Each class has fewer than 10 children. English is the main teaching language, supported by Mandarin and Bahasa Malaysia.
Alongside Phonics, mathematics, science and integrated learning, the school includes piano classes within its regular kindergarten programme at no additional charge, allowing children to experience early music learning as part of their normal school day.
Piano classes are included as part of the Tadika Setia Bestari kindergarten programme. Parents do not need to pay an additional piano course fee or arrange another external piano class for their child.
Children can experience rhythm, musical awareness and introductory piano learning in a familiar school environment while developing concentration, hand-eye coordination and creative expression.
Piano is part of the kindergarten programme, not an additional paid add-on.
Many parents would like their children to experience music from an early age. However, enrolling in a separate piano class often means paying another course fee, finding time after school or on weekends and arranging additional transport.
By including piano classes in the kindergarten programme, Tadika Setia Bestari allows children to receive early music exposure during their regular school routine. Parents can avoid the cost and scheduling pressure of arranging a separate external class.
Even children of the same age can have different personalities, language abilities, attention spans and learning rhythms.
Tadika Setia Bestari keeps each class to fewer than 10 children. This gives teachers more opportunities to observe each child’s understanding, emotions and developmental needs, while providing more individual reminders, encouragement and guidance.
A smaller class can also provide a more stable and supportive experience for children who need time to adjust to school, are slower to warm up or need more encouragement before they are ready to speak and participate.
English is the main teaching language, while Mandarin and Bahasa Malaysia are incorporated into the programme. Children gradually build listening, comprehension, communication and early literacy foundations across all three languages.
Phonics, vocabulary, listening and speaking activities help children build early reading foundations and confidence in English communication.
Children learn useful vocabulary, basic sentence structures and Sukukata to prepare for the Bahasa Malaysia they will use in primary school.
Age-appropriate listening, speaking, character recognition and interactive activities support Mandarin comprehension and everyday expression.
Inspired by Singapore Mathematics, the programme helps children develop number sense, observation, logical thinking and problem-solving skills.
Beyond language and mathematics, the programme incorporates science exploration, moral education, arts and crafts, music and movement, physical activities and age-appropriate multimedia learning.
These experiences encourage children to observe, ask questions, express ideas, cooperate and complete tasks independently. Learning becomes more than remembering an answer—it becomes connected to everyday life.
Important for parents: Piano classes are included in the regular kindergarten programme at no additional charge. Ukulele and Taekwondo are separately arranged after-school enrichment activities. Please contact the school to confirm their schedules, availability and applicable fees.
Whether a kindergarten suits your child depends on more than its programme list. Parents should also observe the actual class size, teacher-child interactions, school environment and how their child responds to the setting.
