A historical city, rich with its heritage and culture, Ipoh is a great early education hub in the northern area, and we’re very pleased to know that there’s a lot of preschool choices for parents in this city.
In continuation from our regular Selected Preschool series, this article will try to list down all exemplary preschool in this city so that it will be easier for parents in Ipoh to search for the right centre for their child!

In this spacious and clean preschool, children are taught through the well-researched 3Q™ program. This proven program is holistic, engaging and fun. Through their online learning program, students would be able to log in with their special IDs to practice at home according to individual chapters, allowing them to prepare for the next day’s lessons as well as interact and bond with parents over the lessons on the platform.
Teachers at the kindergarten have been fully trained under the 3Q training program and most of them possess at least a diploma in Early Childhood Education. Not near Ipoh? Fret not as the 3Q MRC Junior Menglembu has seven centres under its umbrella in Perak.
Many parents with children under three often contemplate whether to send their kids to preschool or not. 3Q MRC Junior, Kampar Ipoh is the perfect place to give children the head start they need. Children gain a lot from attending school here. They are exposed to alphabets, words, numbers, colours, shapes and so much more. Most importantly, they learn to share and get along with others at a young age, while they figure out how to regulate their emotions. Many previous students from this kindergarten enter primary school with stronger basic math concepts, richer pre-reading skills, and better social-emotional skills than peers from other schools. This is all thanks to the well-researched and proven 3Q education system – a proven education system that utilises effective tools to foster vital development of the whole brain.
There are also plenty of opportunities tailored towards talent extraction among the children. This makes the educational journey a lot more meaningful as the outside world requires more than just grades to succeed but rather it needs people who are creative, confident and can express themselves well.
