Founders

Mr Alex & Mrs Jennie Seet, Founders of GCC

Tadika GCC was established by my wife and I, Alex and Jennie Seet, in the year 1999. Before GCC, Jennie was working in a bank for more than 10 years, while I was an assistant to a Dato’. In 1999, on a fine day, Jennie had a dream about the generations to come where people were blinded by the pursuit of money and children were abandoned and neglected. This dream deeply moved our hearts, and we felt the need and the call to give up our well-established jobs to pursue children. Therefore, GCC was born.

In our more than 27 years of operation, we have expanded to include preschools in both English and Chinese medium, a tutorial centre for primary school, and a specialized toddler centre & daycare across the Setapak and Gombak areas—together forming what is now known as GCC Group of Schools. We are very confident in providing the best educational environment and guidance to toddlers and preschoolers. You will be amazed at the quality and standard of education provided, packaged in a value-for-money affordable fee! We encourage parents to make a visit to our schools because some will only believe after seeing!

All of us at GCC have been tireless in our efforts to bring out the best in every child entrusted to us. We adopt the renowned FunGates programme—an innovative programme that incorporates guidelines from the Kurikulum Standard Prasekolah Kebangsaan (KSPK). All our teachers are trained in the FunGates Education Training every year to be refreshed and updated with the programme. On top of that, we, as Founders of GCC schools, conduct our very own in-house training sessions weekly and annually to ensure our vision and mission of the school carries on. When one organization has one goal and one direction, everyone can be focused in alignment with the vision—why we do what we do. We need teachers to be more effective and fun in delivery of lessons. As our generations evolve, we must also teach our teachers to evolve. That way, we can easily be connected to children of the millennium with fewer barriers. We need to step out of the box because what worked 20 years ago might not work for this rising generation.

In GCC, our appointed Quality Controller regulates the effectiveness of teaching and learning of the children in our schools. We often send in our specialist to different schools at any time of the week to audit our students randomly for every age group. This assists in ensuring consistency, because quality will always be our trademark!

All our schools also enjoy a wide range of imported apparatus and teaching aids exclusively from FunGates. Our “Open Classroom” concept has proven that children learn better in an open environment. Fret not about the noise level as we continue to educate our children to be considerate and gentle in talking, needing not to raise their voices in class because everyone is learning within the same environment. Positive reinforcement through praise, encouragement, recognition, and rewards for every child is employed throughout the day, thus building a child-friendly and pressure-free environment to facilitate fun learning, which is our top priority. GCC gives every child a strong foundation to take on any challenges in English, Bahasa Malaysia, Mandarin, Math, Science, and even Domestic Science.

Last but not least, Character Building is also one of our school’s pride. Character Building was introduced to bring strong emphasis on building integrity and life values as part of the character development of a child, thereby producing children who perform better academically, socially, and spiritually. As we are trustful that a wholesome family brings light into a child’s development, Jennie and I have also incorporated parent counseling and seminars monthly as our goodwill towards our parents.
