Cultivating Curiosity and Islamic Values

At Ilham Child Care Centre, Children’s Day is more than just a date on the calendar—it’s a celebration of the joy, wonder, and potential that each child brings to our world. As we look back on our recent commemoration of this special day, we reflect on the invaluable lessons our little ones teach us daily and reaffirm our commitment to fostering their growth and development in alignment with Islamic principles.

The Magic of Childhood: What We Learn from Our Little Ones

Children are natural teachers, and at Ilham Child Care Centre, we cherish the lessons they impart:

Cultivating Curiosity: The Cornerstone of Learning at Ilham

At Ilham Child Care Centre, we place a special emphasis on cultivating curiosity in our students. We believe that curiosity is the foundation of lifelong learning and a key trait that sets children up for future success, aligning with the Islamic principle of seeking knowledge.

How We Foster Curiosity at Ilham:

• Inquiry-Based Learning:

We encourage children to ask questions and seek answers through hands-on experiences, including exploring Islamic concepts.

• Diverse Learning Environments:

Our classrooms and outdoor spaces are designed to stimulate curiosity and exploration of both secular and Islamic subjects.

• Supportive Educators:

Our teachers are trained to guide children’s natural curiosity into meaningful learning experiences, incorporating Islamic teachings where appropriate.

• Open-Ended Activities:

We provide materials and activities that allow children to explore and create in their own unique ways, often inspired by Islamic art and culture.

Recognising Unique Qualities in Every Child

At Ilham Child Care Centre, we understand that every child is unique, with their own set of strengths, interests, and learning styles. Our approach to early childhood education is built on identifying and cultivating these individual qualities, in line with the Islamic teaching that every child is a unique creation of Allah.

How We Celebrated Each Child’s Uniqueness on Children’s Day:

• Personalised Learning Experiences: We tailored our activities to suit each child’s learning style and pace.
• Diverse Range of Activities: From Islamic art and nasheed (Islamic songs) to science and physical play, we offered various activities to help children discover their passions.
• Thoughtful Observations: Our educators closely observed each child to identify their strengths and areas for growth.
• Parent Partnerships: We shared insights about each child’s development and unique qualities with parents, fostering a sense of community.
