PRESCHOOLS
GEMS World
Academy (GWA)
Jennifer and David
Nodine, American
Jackson (6), Vance (4)
and Tripp (3)
Jackson is attending Mrs Jamaludin’s
K2 class at GWA, while Vance has
been in Mrs Orlowski’s Pre-K class
since January. Tripp is currently
attending the free Mommy and Me
playgroup on Monday mornings and
will be attending GWA next year.
My husband David learned of
GWA through an internet search
and we eventually set up a meeting.
We immediately fell in love with the
state-of-the-art facility as well as
the warm and welcoming staff. We
feel very fortunate to have found
such an amazing and encouraging
environment for our children to learn
in. Everyone at GWA makes a real
effort to know and understand each
child. We also like how the school
charters mini-buses to transport kids
to and from school. Not only does
this save us having to make an extra
journey, it also gives the children
more time chance to interact with
one another.
From personal experience, I
know that my kids’ teachers have
an open-door policy where parents
are welcomed to join the class. I like
being able to practise reading with
Jack and his class on Mondays, and
to join Vance’s class for a story after
lunch. Mrs Lin, the Chinese teacher, is
always coming up with creative ways
for the children to learn. My kids have
taken to it so well that even at home
they’ll say their colours and numbers
in Chinese! All the teachers are kind,
patient and dedicated – it’s a joy to
have them teach our kids.
