Hankidz Leadership Preschool has found its new home in the neighbourhood of Mutiara Damansara. Nestled within a spacious landed house in a secure, guarded gated community, it boasts an expansive outdoor compound that provides an inspiring environment for children to learn and grow. The new location is thoughtfully equipped with modern facilities, specifically designed to cultivate leadership skills in young minds. Among these facilities is the impressive Leaders' Arena – a dedicated stage where children are encouraged to embrace the confidence to speak, express themselves and conquer their fears.
It's no secret that there’s more to education than just academics; it’s a social experience, a growing experience, and a move toward independence for children. In this regard, Hankidz fosters a student culture that encourages reflection, collaboration and innovation.
Notably, the preschool aligns with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals by promoting Quality Education (that includes learning opportunities for underprivileged children); Decent Work (by collaborating with different organisations) & Economic Growth; and Peace, Justice & Strong Institutions (by training more leaders to create a peaceful and inclusive society).
At Hankidz Leadership Preschool, the learning journey is a captivating adventure guided by The G.R.A.C.E. Approach.
Through the integration of Gamification and Experiential Learning, education becomes a fun and engaging experience, igniting children's enthusiasm to explore and discover. It's a belief at Hankidz that learning thrives when children step out of the confines of the preschool and embark on real-world explorations. The preschool organises experiential learning journeys, from inspiring field trips to dynamic outdoor education, and from open-ended discussions to immersive role-playing in real-life scenarios. These tangible encounters not only stimulate curiosity but also nurture a spirit of exploration, creativity, communication and self-expression.
Within this approach, Applied Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is seamlessly woven in to strengthen children's thought patterns and behaviours, fostering effective communication, goal achievement, and personal development. In parallel, Coaching Techniques come into play, encouraging children to take ownership of their learning journey through active participation and better decision-making skills.
The teachers here are not just educators but also exemplary Role Models who demonstrate leadership qualities, inspiring children to develop and strengthen their own values. By setting and achieving their own leadership goals, these teachers foster an environment where young learners are encouraged to dream big and aspire to become future leaders themselves.
“I firmly believe that children can be nurtured into leadership roles from a young age, encouraging them to develop the invaluable ability to speak up, and confidently express their thoughts and ideas.”
~ Coach Xue Yi, Principal of Hankidz Leadership Preschool, Mutiara Damansara ~
Despite the plentiful tasks and responsibilities of teachers, the principal is always there to help them reconnect with their vocation and rediscover their true passion. Teachers participate in training workshops regularly to improve their professional practices and performances. Everything is done with a vision that leads with a whole-child focus.
A successful education does not stop at school with just the teachers participating in children’s learning. Parents are an equally important component in the whole equation. The school emphasises on building strong parent-school relationships based on open, honest communication. Additionally, the preschool offers one-on-one coaching to parents, empowering them with valuable tips and tools to nurture life-reading leadership skills in their children at home.
"It requires an equal collaboration between parents and teachers. Parents hold a pivotal role in their child's life, which is why we aim to empower them with the necessary tools and skills to foster their child's daily learning and practice of leadership principles."
~ Coach Xue Yi, Principal of Hankidz Leadership Preschool, Mutiara Damansara ~
Children here find their own voices in the preschool by learning to apply life-ready leadership skills. In addition to the academic subjects, children at the Mutiara Damansara branch have the exclusive opportunity to participate in a thoughtfully curated selection of engaging enrichment programmes, aimed at shaping well-rounded and confident leaders of tomorrow.
They get to embark on a captivating journey filled with interactive games and immersive experiences that serve to cultivate a genuine understanding and appreciation for the diverse cultures in the World Culture Programme. There’s also a dynamic outlet for children to express their individuality through the medium of Music and Movement, fostering a sense of joy. In the Little Chef Programme, young learners don aprons, learn essential cooking skills, and engage in a hand-on process that involves measurements, sequencing, and, of course, relish the delectable results of their efforts. Beyond that, a door to the realm of Sustainable Farming swings open, revealing insights into food origins, the virtues of fresh produce, and the importance of environmental care.
Collectively, the preschool’s Leadership Development Programme weaves together a diverse and captivating educational journey that develops the whole child and empowers children with the right tools to lead their own learning – two vital aspects that contribute to academic results.
The teachers at Hankidz Leadership Preschool want all children to thrive mentally and physically, from inside out. They feed their minds with knowledge, spirits with love and of course, bodies with balanced nutrition. A certified dietitian, Ms Li Xin, carefully plans a menu of balanced wholesome meals that are made up of nutrient-dense foods to support children in their growth and development. Eating a balanced diet early also helps children develop a positive attitude towards food from a young age.
“One of the best gifts for a child is a lifetime of a healthy and fit body.”
~ Ms Li Xin, Dietitian of Hankidz ~
At Hankidz Leadership Preschool, every child can be a leader. Every difference and unique trait are celebrated. Every responsibility is shared and learning never stops.

All is done with love and laughter, as a team.
