My Little World, Kota Damansara

At My Little World, Kota Damansara, “Play, Learn, Grow” is more than just a tagline. It is the school’s mission to educate and inspire children starting from the tender age of 18 months to reach their full potential through an enriching and diverse curriculum. The teachers here strive to bring education to life by incorporating abundant meaningful opportunities for little ones to discover the world – hence the name My Little World – in this safe, supportive haven in which children dearly call their second home.

As we live in an interconnected world, the teachers here ensure children can appreciate the world at large by knowing, understanding and respecting the world on their doorstep. They strive to make learning immediately relevant by connecting it to the real world through different interesting themes rather than individually segregated subjects. Plus, they emphasize on hands-on experiences that are supported by complementary learning materials, which are all so well integrated into the daily activities. For instance, while introducing Denmark to the children, they get to learn about the geographical location of the country, the wildlife there, the main dishes in its cuisine, popular landmarks, the iconic LEGO bricks, and many more topics that lead to discussions and activities that allow children to learn across broad subject areas. Similarly, getting children to set up stalls to sell handmade goods on their designated Young Entrepreneur’s Day teaches them basic math concepts, financial literacy, as well as communication skills. Collectively, these experiences nurture young children’s inquisitive minds, making learning much more engaging and meaningful when little ones are starting out to make sense of their physical world, as well as their community.

With a reverence for the developing child, the curriculum at My Little World weaves together progressive international practices and an enriched approach to early childhood education to cultivate solid socio-emotional, academic and physical roots that will help children excel beyond the normal parameters of a traditional preschool system. The curriculum aims to create a strong foundation for the whole child, working harmoniously with the developmental stages of students, as highlighted in The Pyramid of Learning. And, it is done so in a supportive learning environment where the youngest students begin working on their physical and sensory skills, gradually moving up to higher level skills such as regulating behaviour, attention centre functions and academic learning, eventually empowering them to become confident, intelligent individuals with an innate ability to succeed.

To further strengthen children’s early foundations, My Little World has introduced a highly effective movement-based programme called Brain Gym into its daily schedule of learning. This internationally acclaimed education model implies that children can improve their whole brain learning by doing basic yet fun movements, such as neck rolls, cross crawls and drawing the shape of a horizontal 8 in the air. Even though these activities may seem simple at a glance, it has been reported by teachers worldwide for over 20 years that these movements work so well, they often brought about dramatic improvements on their students’ concentration, focus, memory, academics, physical coordination, relationships with peers, self-responsibility, organisation skills and attitude.

For families looking for a bright start for your precious little ones, My Little World is truly the place. The nurturing attitude and commitment to ensuring that each child is cared for like their very own and supported in a warm, positive, friendly environment is second to none in the early childhood education industry. Their values underpin the way relationships are formed with parents and teachers to provide the best environment and opportunities for children to grow, develop and achieve their optimum potential.
