Assalamualaikum wrbt 

Alhamdulillah we have gone through the first month of school. Some of your children cried during the first few weeks seeing the one person she/he loves very mush leaving her in a very different environment. I congratulate parents who are “strong” enough to let their children stay because believe me they will settle down sooner or later, InsyaAllah. 

There are many things that pengusaha of The Little Caliphs program tried to do to make your child feel comfortable tapi the kelam kabut of the first week of school is extremely normal. My consultant has started to visit some of the centers and we from Little Caliphs Enterprise are constantly in touch with the pengusaha. 

I personally trained 70 teachers for 6 days during December and  we did many hands on activities. I have also invited some trainers from University Islam Antarabangsa, UiTM and some of my seniour teachers helped out to share their knowledge, experiences and ideas with the new teachers. These trainings were held at SIRIM from the 14^th to the 19^th December. They were mainly trained about the methodology of teaching at The Little Caliphs Program and about class control and children’s development. Pn Roslina from Khalifah institute also came to share with us about the Khalifah concept of reward and punishment. Nevertheless these teachers are new and they are also getting used to the new environment and new children. Being new themselves, they need a lot of encouragement and time to adjust and adapt. So have patience everyone, the worst will soon be over and a more regular routine will be established.   

We have also doen our first parents training: Teknik membaca cepat. We had done it in Shah Alam, in Saujana Utama, in Melaka , in Bangi and Putra Jaya. Congratulations to parents who came to jin us and learn the the techniques to teach your child to read fast and to those that did not come, please find out these techniques from your teachers. Its important for you to know. The progress of your child’s reading depends on both school and home.InsyaAllah 

The Little Caliphs Program came out in Majalah Feminin this month and will come out in AN NUR magazine in March. We were also featured at Al Hidayah,  a local TV3 program on the 23^rd October. Do go to TV3.com to watch the backdated series. 

I would like to congratulate all the new pengusaha for having many children at their centers, do work hard to achieve the quality that we have set for this program. Do Work hard with sincerity towards teaching Muslims children who their Creator is and how to perform solat to say Thank You to Allah for the bounties given to us. Use the reading strategies given and InsyaAllah you can see the learning outcomes as you go along. Most important to pengusah and teachers have a good time with the children make solat and doa selalu so that Allah protects and make easy your work. 

Okay, got to go now until we meet again, Maasalamah, Assalamualaikum wrbt
