CIC VISION'S TO GIVE BIRTH TO FUTURE PM

After more than a decade in the early childhood industry, the founder of Children Islamic Centre or better known as CIC, Hjh Qutren Nada has brought CIC into a new phase. As CIC has established itself as a leading Muslim Early Childhood Education, now at its 2nd phase, she is introducing its leadership programs. As a start, the programs will be offered at selected branches of CICs.

Describing the value of such program, Hjh Qutren says, “developing leaders is not a cheap job. It needs participations from all parties in various aspects. As you know, not many Muslims especially Malays involve seriously in this field. Many choose teaching as their profession because they do not have other options. Some are very good but they are not supported by good team. It is such a big challenge to develop good team in Malay community. Anyway, I disagree with the view that the Chinese and Indians are better as I believe that the true teachings of Islam can produce man with perfect qualities. But Chinese and Indians dominate because they have enough supports from staffs and customers. At CIC we continuously train the staffs. It needs lot of resources including money and time. We have our quality control and KPIs. Some are not ready. They can come and go but we will continue to progress”.

Hjh Qutren congratulates parents who are committed to raising their children well. But this lady the founder of CIC and owner of other businesses with more than 40 employees, advises parents especially mothers to open their interest on many angles not only limited to their family affairs. “I have seen in many leaders, their mothers were great. Like Maryam the Prophet Isa’s mother, she was great. She was different from other ladies in term of beliefs, thoughts and actions. Fatimah Azzahra, the Kawthar of the Prophet had great mother, Khadijah Binti Khuwailid. Even most of the great leaders in this world, whether they are leaders in politics or leaders in sciences, they have great mothers who rear them. The mother can be real mother or foster mother. Like Imam Khomeini he had strong character, he was brought up by his aunt who was strong”, she said.

She sums up that with high love and high rules, children are very self-reliant and cheerful. They can cope well with stress and achievement oriented. I believed Tun Mahathir was brought up in this way.

With low love, high rules, children are moody, unhappy, often unfriendly and vulnerable to stress. With high love, low rules children are impulsive-aggressive, rebellious, domineering and low achievers. With low love, low rules, children have psychological problems, are immature and uninvolved.

Routine Dental Check-Up for Children

All children need to have routine dental exams starting around the age of four, or sooner they will have dental problems.
At CIC, we put great importance in hygiene management for the students. For this purpose, dental check up becomes one of our priority programs each year.
During these exams the child's teeth will be carefully inspected, cleaned, checked for cavities, be given fluoride treatments and possibly have x-rays to check their teeth thoroughly.
It is suggested that we should visit the dentist every six months for a dental exam and cleaning. So, don’t forget to bring our future leader so that they will be more confident in front of others.

Spelling Made Fun…..

Spelling has always been a complicated matter for everyone trying to learn the language. However, children today have found joy in spelling because they have fun with the words through the phonics concept.
CIC had organized the spelling contest week on 7th - 11th April 2008 where students are tested to spell words in English. The aim is to help children learning English words, increase their vocabulary, learn concepts and develop the correct usage of the languages that will help them as well as to create public awareness on the importance of spelling.
“We initiate the Spelling Contest with the purpose to teach the children to compete positively, enjoy learning, especially to spell in a fun and creative way. We also want to develop first class citizens by introducing it at early stage.” said Puan Qutren Nada Ahmad, founder of CIC.
Divided into two categories, contestants will be assessed on their written and oral skills. The spelling challenge grants students unique opportunity to express themselves creatively and innovatively by correctly spelling the words.
This spelling method has benefited millions of children in this world. It is the vision of CIC to bring out the best in every child.


Info:
CIC used Phonic & Whole word concept in teaching English. It is proven that through this concept, students can read and write English words easily. So, don’t miss it, come and join us!

CIC Swimming class

CIC Swimming class has come to its second session this year. Now CIC organizes it on monthly basis at a public swimming pool, Kompleks Kejiranan Presint 16, Putrajaya.
Classes are divided into 2 categories; according to the skill levels. Classes ranged from the total beginner level to the advanced level. Water safety program is also taught to promote greater level of water confidence.
CIC initiates this special activity because we believe that learning swimming in professional way will help the child to develop strength, coordination, confidence and greater mental agility. It also helps in the development of a stronger respiratory system: Stronger heart and lungs. Most importantly, learning swimming is essential as human ability.
Children, through consistent learning and repetition, can happily propel themselves with ease and confidence in water. The emphasis throughout is on allowing children to proceed at their own pace without being pressurized. Praise, hugs, kisses and the joy of their accomplishments motivate them to take on new challenges.


*************************************************************
Children and water are like toast and jam, they go together. Burning the toast will result in the food being rejected. Dropping a young child into a pool’s deep end will most likely result in the child rejecting water recreation for a long time. A little fear is a bad taste that lingers for a lifetime

Sport Day

CIC

It is important for the teachers to have skills and knowledge in dealing with children because every child should be treated differently and every day should be new learning experience. In addition to that, it is not only important to understand every child and his learning style but also to understand their parents and the best way to approach them pertaining to issues involving their children.

CIC Employs Learning Through Play Method

In CIC , the teaching method is unique, flexible and creative. By that method, the children enjoy learning new thing day after day.

Special Activity in CIC's Best Program

As part of continuing effort to produce children who is able to read Quran and able to speak English, Children Islamic Center(CIC) will introduce a new activity in Delima program. This activity which is known as ‘creating stories’ will be conducted every day as alternate activity during the time that they learn Iqra’ in the afternoon. This ‘creating stories’ program is designed for the children who are learning English as second language and to those who are spending minimum 5 hours at CIC.

CIC believes that language development of a child will improve through story-telling, either they receive and respond to stories from other people or better if they make stories of their own. It is important for children to feel that they can make stories out of their own experience, not just rely on the stories they receive from other people. CIC main motives are to help the children to enjoy making stories and to be willing to try to use their limited amount of the second language creatively.

In other words when children create and tell a story in a foreign language the story and language become theirs. To those parents who share the same objectives are welcome to choose CIC to educate their children. CIC is an Islamic child development centre which put great importance in learning English. Medium of instruction is bilingual and majority of books including religious books are in English. CIC was established since 1997 and today it is operated in Putrajaya, Puchong Utama, Kota Damansara, Taman Ibu Kota Kiri (Setapak), Bandar Baru Bangi, Bandar Darulaman and Kota Bharu.
