Introduction to our childcare services and preschool curriculum
Finding the right childcare and daycare program for your child can be challenging. You to make sure that your child is in a safe and nurturing environment, but also one that will help them learn and grow.
Little Playhouse offers holistic infant care and preschool services, providing both full-day and half-day childcare in the KLCC, KL Sentral, and KL Eco City areas. We accept children as young as three months up to 6 years old. We are open from Monday to Friday, 8:00 am to 6:00 pm.
Our curriculum is proudly aligned with the Kurikulum Standard Prasekolah Kebangsaan (KSPK), the national preschool curriculum framework developed by the Malaysian Ministry of Education. KSPK provides developmentally appropriate guidelines and learning standards for children aged 4-6 years old. By aligning with this curriculum, we ensure we deliver a high-quality early childhood education program that develops critical thinking, creativity, innovation, and more in children.
We focus on play-based learning concepts for all ages to provide a balanced, holistic, and effective way of teaching.
Our program’s framework as below:
- Fostering children’s development by focusing on ethics, intellect & physique
- Helping them develop good living habits (and strong bodies!)
- Encouraging a love for learning
- Respecting each individual’s needs
- Creating an environment where you can be yourself without fear
- Building a solid foundation for future success!
We will guide the children during the learning process through phonics; we use learning materials such as flashcards and Book 1- Peter and Jane at these learning stages. In addition, we have specially developed our introduction to mathematics with the primary objective of introducing and familiarizing the children with numbers regarding identifying and writing numbers.
Have a look at the six (6) key educational areas we have structured to enhance the learning capacity of your children:
- Language, Communication & Early Literature
- Introduction to the Senses & Understanding of nature
- Guided learning & creativity
- Early Mathematics and logical thinking
- Socio-emotional & spiritual education
- Physical activities
Our lesson plans have been developed to include extensive areas regarding multiple intelligence stimulants and exposure to sensory perceptions. However, considering the children’s young age, they may not be able to comprehend these ideas. Still, an early introduction to these education aspects will be crucial to building a better foundation for higher learning in the future.
We have classified the areas under multiple intelligence as follows:
- Musicals / Rhythmic: Sound
- Visual / Spatial: Sight
- Body Kinesthetic: Movement, Motor Skills
- Natural: Environmental
- Intrapersonal (Self): Discovering of oneself
- Interpersonal (Social): Socializing
- Verbal / Linguistic: Reading, Speaking
- Logical / Math: Problem-Solving
Research-based thematic programs
We are also focusing on the active learning process of thematic instruction, which is performed through a specially designed curriculum. Theme-based activities presume that the students learn at their finest when they can connect new information holistically with the whole curriculum and their own lives and experiences.
Our curriculum is designed to meet each student’s needs, considering their age, interests, and abilities. Our programs are based on the latest research in child development and education. They are continually being updated to ensure that we provide the best possible educational experience for our students.
With Little Playhouse, your children will undoubtedly learn essential life skills they need during their crucial formidable educational years. Students learn clearer when undergoing familiarity in a well-built context. They begin to see interactions and associations across time, place, and subjects.
Our approach
Little Playhouse’s thematic-based approach aligns with current prevalent training and ideas, including play-based, project-based, and collective learning. We conduct play-based active learning activities with a touch of the Montessori method. The sources are not restricted to textbooks. Subjects introduced are present-day, growth-facilitating, and student-centered, merging the students’ needs, curiosities, and perceptions.
Our mission
Our preschool program provides a safe and nurturing environment where children can explore, learn, and grow. We offer a variety of activities that are designed to encourage cognitive, social, and emotional development. Our experienced and loving staff are dedicated to providing the best possible care for each child. We believe every child is unique and special, and we strive to create an environment that reflects this. Thank you for considering our preschool program for your child. We hope you will allow us to provide your child with a foundation for a lifetime of learning and growth.
Subject Overview
Physical involvement enhances the children’s fine motor skills: fostering curiosity, imagination, and exploration. Messy play encourages children to get messy, explore their environment and learn about what they can do. This is how children develop fine motor skills because it requires them to focus on precisely manipulating objects while being hands-on!
We believe that creativity is one of the most important skills a child can learn. We offer a creative arts program that encourages children to explore their imagination and think creatively. This program will enhance children’s creative thinking, creativity, and fine motor skills for their everyday life.
The science and discovery program for preschool is designed to help children explore the world around them. The program includes activities that allow children to learn about science, math, and technology. Through the science and discovery program, children will learn about the world around them and how they fit into it.
Health and fitness are essential for overall well-being. We provide indoor physical activities such as gym time, Zumba, and yoga classes as part of our physical education program. These activities promote healthy growth and a healthy lifestyle.
Language – The building blocks of society. An essential part of developing your child’s speech skills, vocabulary, and comprehension is through reading with them being exposed to two languages early; this will enhance children’s conversational skills, vocabulary, and comprehension. The program involves reading and writing practice.
In Social Studies, children learn about their world and how they fit into it. They will learn about people, places, and things in their community. In Preschool Sunshine, for example, children learn about different cultures worldwide. They learn about traditional clothing, music, and dance from various countries. As they learn about these things, they also learn to appreciate the similarities and differences between people.
We believe that all children are musical, and our program is designed to help them develop their musical skills. We offer various activities to keep your child engaged and excited about learning. We have something for everyone, from singing and dancing to instruments and games.
Mathematics is an invaluable tool that helps kids develop skills in number cognition, counting, and math operations. We’ll provide our students with exciting games to learn about numbers, counting, and basic addition/subtraction!
In Little Playhouse, we focus on providing moral education to help students understand the difference between right and wrong. We believe this is an integral part of a child’s development and will help them behave appropriately in all aspects of daily life.
