Your Saturday programme at a glance
  • Our Weekend Enrichment Programme serves children aged 4–12 who would benefit from practical learning and supported interaction beyond their school routine.
  • Activities include basic cooking, arts and crafts, science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) projects, sensory play and group learning.
  • We practise turn-taking, sharing, conversation and following instructions through activities rather than relying on worksheets alone.
  • Families can compare two published Saturday attendance windows: two hours at RM250/month or four hours at RM500/month.
  • We provide weekly progress updates so you can follow what your child is working on without assuming every child progresses at the same pace.

A useful Saturday gives your child more than another worksheet

Our Saturday programme focuses on doing, communicating and participating—not simply adding more academic tasks to your child’s week. At Lumora Education, basic cooking, creative projects and group activities give children opportunities to practise everyday skills alongside others.

You may be looking for a place where your child can enjoy an activity while learning to ask for help, share materials or follow a sequence. Those are relevant goals to discuss with us: our weekend sessions bring communication, practical life skills and positive social interaction into the same learning environment.

We use positive reinforcement to encourage participation without making confidence a performance target. A completed craft or cooking activity is only part of the picture; your child’s willingness to join in and the support they need matter too.

From an initial discussion to cooking, creating and learning together

We begin with an initial consultation and assessment session, then use hands-on enrichment to support participation, independence and interaction. Our centre’s enrolment information explains this starting point, so you can discuss programme fit before committing to a package.

  1. Start with your child’s needs. Tell us their age, interests, communication preferences and current support needs. Use the initial discussion to explain what helps them feel comfortable and what you would like them to practise.
  2. Explore the Saturday learning format. Our programme combines practical activities, play, outdoor exploration and collaborative learning. The published activity range includes cooking, crafts, STEM and group work; it is not a promise that every activity happens every Saturday.
  3. Practise skills within the activity. We weave communication, sharing, turn-taking and following instructions into group learning, supported by positive reinforcement. The aim is meaningful participation, not identical work from every child.
  4. Keep you informed. Our weekly progress updates help you follow your child’s learning. Progress is individual; updates are a way to discuss observations and next steps, not a guarantee of a particular outcome.

Saturday fees depend on your chosen attendance window

Our published Saturday fees are RM250 per month for 11.00 am–1.00 pm and RM500 per month for 9.00 am–1.00 pm. For families considering enrichment for a child aged 4–12, the clear price difference is the attendance window; the longer option should not be treated as a guarantee of greater progress.

9.00 am–1.00 pmRM500Whether the longer morning is suitable for your child’s participation and support needs

The published fee listing does not itemise every enrolment condition. Before paying, ask us to confirm materials, any registration or assessment charges, holiday arrangements and missed-session terms. Do not assume an unlisted item is included or free.

Find the Saturday option that fits your child

Send us your child’s age, current learning needs and preferred attendance window. Enquire to discuss suitability, clarify fees and learn about the initial consultation and assessment before choosing a package.

Choose weekend enrichment for practical participation—not extra homework alone

Our weekend sessions are the closer fit when your priority is hands-on life skills and learning with others, rather than homework completion. Lumora Education’s Saturday offer includes cooking, crafts and collaborative activities; if your main concern is reading, writing or schoolwork, a different learning-support format may be more relevant.

Homework and academic practiceThese are not the central promise of weekend enrichment.Explore our personalised academic support instead.

Clinical assessment or treatmentThis page describes an educational enrichment programme, not a clinical treatment package.Consult a qualified healthcare professional about clinical needs.

You do not need to choose the longest session to show commitment to your child. The more useful decision is whether the activity format, attendance window and available support match what your child needs now.

Saturday enrolment details for parents

Our weekend programme is listed for ages 4–12 and welcomes children with autism, ADHD and other learning needs. Suitability depends on your child, not the diagnosis alone. Tell us about communication, sensory preferences and support needs during the initial discussion so we can consider the fit with you.

Yes. Our published enrolment process starts with an initial consultation and assessment session so your child and our teachers can get to know each other. Ask us about arrangements and any applicable charges; we do not describe this as a free trial.

Those are parts of our programme’s activity range, not a guaranteed checklist for every session. Ask about the planned activities for your preferred attendance window. Please also tell us about food allergies, sensory sensitivities or other relevant needs before cooking or outdoor activities are discussed.

We provide weekly progress updates. Use these to discuss participation, communication and practical learning with our team. Development varies between children, so we do not promise a particular improvement or a fixed number of weeks to reach a goal.

Give Saturday a practical learning purpose

Enquire about a Saturday place at Lumora Education. Share your child’s age, what they enjoy, the support they need and whether you are considering 9.00 am–1.00 pm or 11.00 am–1.00 pm.

Your next step is a discussion of programme fit, session availability and the initial consultation and assessment—so you have the information you need before committing.
