Edukidz Sandakan, Sabah

Dear Tadika Edukidz Sandakan,

To Founder & Director Teacher Rachel Wong, loving Principal Mrs. Ramesh & all the hard working teachers who have been part of Aiden’s & Arielle’s journey, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Raising an autistic child comes with many worries that not everyone gets to see. As a mother, one of my biggest worries has always been whether Aiden will be understood, accepted and treated with kindness when I’m not there to protect him.

You gave me that reassurance. I really appreciate the good communication between teachers and parents about my kids.

Thank you for being patient with Aiden, for understanding that he may learn, communicate and respond differently, and for celebrating the little things that may seem small to others but mean so much to us.

There were challenges, difficult days, and moments when things didn’t always go as planned. But through it all, your guidance, patience and support became an important part of Aiden’s growing journey.

Aiden may not always be able to express his appreciation in the way other children can, but I hope you know that your kindness has left a mark on him and on me as his mother.

I will always be grateful for the teachers who chose patience over judgement, understanding over assumptions, and kindness over giving up.

Tadika Edukidz you’re the best !

Both of my girls (Acacia,10) and (Iris,5) are students of Mdm Rachel of Edukidz.

Even as an alumni for my eldest girl who graduated 4 year ago, Mdm Rachel has always been very welcoming to follow up and even invited her to participate, joining her sister in their recent Galaxy Explorer outdoor camp. We find that the school and teachers stood out, treating each student with compassion and patience, teaching skills beyond books, helping them shape who they are and what they can be, which is more valuable to us.

Hi Edukidz Team, I just want to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Since Khalifi joined the DEIP & ABA program at your centre, we have seen a truly incredible progress. As a child diagnosed with ASD & Speech Delayed, every small step for him is a big win for us. Now he is communicating more, he understands emotions better and he is becoming more social and independent with self care. We also really appreciate being able to follow his daily progress through the Oddlin app, which is always kept up to date. Month by month we can see him growing and it gives us so much hope.

What makes it even more special is the environment the centre created here. Khalifi always feels comfortable coming to class because it is clean, safe and welcoming. But above all, it is your all amazing teachers. Their patience, care and professionalism are beyond words. You really understand how to support children with special needs. Thank you for your dedication and love. Edukidz is not just a program for us, it is where Khalifi is learning, growing and thriving. We are so grateful!

Hi Edukidz Teachers, just wanted to share some feedback Kaeef has been with you for almost a year now. At only 3 years and 8 months, he is already learned so much such as writing ABCs and numbers, drawing, coloring and most importantly making friends! The biggest change we see is his confidence. He used to be super shy, but now he is so much more outgoing and loves interacting with everyone. It is amazing to see how much he is grown socially and academically.

The facilities at Taska and Daycare are also fantastic! So bright, clean and full of learning materials that keep the kids engaged and excited to learn. Plus, the teachers are amazing in a different way. They are all so cheerful, nurturing and full of energy. They make learning fun and make every child feel special and cared. We really appreciate how you track and support each child’s development through PTC. Thank you for helping Kaeef grow in every way. We are truly happy with his progress and with Edukidz overall!

I am truly grateful that Waiz has been part of the Early Intervention Program (EIP) at Edukidz since he was 5 years old. Now at 7, we have witnessed meaningful and consistent progress in his communication, social skills, attention span, confidence, and daily self-care independence. He is now ready and able to enter Year 1, which is a significant milestone in his journey.

The teachers and therapists are caring, patient, and highly attentive. They provide regular updates on Waiz development and consistently guide us with practical activities that we can continue at home, which has been extremely helpful for us as parents.

The environment at Edukidz is safe, supportive, and very child-friendly, creating a positive space for learning and growth. Although Waiz still faces some challenges, we can clearly see steady and encouraging improvement over time.

We sincerely appreciate the dedication, compassion, and professionalism of the Edukidz team. Thank you for playing such an important and meaningful role in Waiz developmental journey.

A heartfelt thank you to Edukidz!

I feel truly blessed and grateful that I chose Edukidz for all three of my children.

Thank you to all the teachers for your dedication, guidance, and kindness throughout their journey.

Watching my three children grow up in such a loving environment, learning not only knowledge but also kindness, confidence, and good values, means so much to us as parents.

Thank you for walking alongside our family and being such an important part of their childhood.

My 2 boys have attended Tadika Edukidz. Joshua enrolled in this kindergarten in 2022, while Jeremiah from 2023-2025. Throughout their journey with Teacher Rachel and her team of excellent teachers, I feel that the boys have grown to be more confident and curious about learning. Joshua being an autistic child, was treated with love and kindness by teachers and friends here. Jeremiah being a more playful child, the teachers really understood his character, and how to handle him. Tadika Edukidz have also actively organized trips for the kids to Rainforest Discovery Center (RDC) and also field trip to an Army Camp. There were also camping trips and entrepreneurship experiences. Their annual concerts and graduations also instilled confidence in the children. Most importantly, this kindergarten is truly inclusive, where children of all abilities can thrive and no child is left behind.

Thank you Tadika Edukidz for providing quality education in Sandakan! Highly recommended to all parents.

Sincerely,
Joe Quah
Father of Joshua (10 yo) and Jeremiah (7 yo)

As a parent of two daughters studying at Edukidz Enrichment, what makes me happiest is that both of my girls genuinely love going to school every day. To me, this is the best sign that I chose the right school for them.

I really appreciate the wide variety of activities Edukidz organizes for the children. They are given so many opportunities to explore, participate and learn through different experiences.

What impresses me most is how Edukidz has truly made learning fun. My girls are learning, playing and growing at the same time... and most importantly, I get to see their happy faces every day.

I'm very grateful to all the teachers and the Edukidz team for creating such a caring and positive environment.

Over the past four years, I have seen Edukidz continuously grow and improve. It makes me truly proud to be part of this school and to see how far it has come.

We are truly grateful to Tadika Edukidz for providing such a warm, caring, and nurturing environment for our child. From the teachers to the staff, everyone has shown genuine care, patience, and dedication in helping our child learn and grow.

We have seen positive changes not only in our child’s learning, but also in confidence, communication, independence, and social skills. The teachers always make learning fun and engaging, while giving each child the attention and encouragement they need.

As parents, it gives us great peace of mind knowing that our child is in a safe and supportive environment every day. We sincerely appreciate the hard work and commitment of the entire Tadika Edukidz team.

We are proud to be part of the school family and highly recommend the school to other parents. We truly believe they deserve this award recognition!

It’s our pleasure to share a little feedback about the school.

We are truly grateful to have our child in such a caring and nurturing environment. What we appreciate most is how the teachers genuinely care about the children, not only academically but also in their emotional and personal development. The teachers are patient, attentive and always put in so much effort to make learning enjoyable and meaningful.

Over time, we have seen our child grow in confidence, independence and enthusiasm towards learning. It is reassuring as parents to know that our child is surrounded by teachers who treat the children with love, patience and kindness.

Thank you to the whole team for your dedication, hard work and commitment. We are very happy and proud to be part of the school community, and we sincerely hope the school receives the recognition it deserves.

Being part of the Edukidz family has been such a special experience for us. My kids have been there, and one thing that really makes my heart happy is seeing how much they enjoy going to school. Almost every day when they come home, the first thing they want to do is tell us about their day, what they learned, what they played, what happened with their friends, and all the fun little things they did with their teachers.

To me, that says so much about Edukidz. They aren’t just going to school because they have to. They genuinely look forward to being there. They are learning, making friends, having fun and building so many happy memories along the way.

And I think what makes Edukidz feel so different is that, over time, it has become like a second home for our children. When we drop them off, we know they are going somewhere familiar, somewhere they feel comfortable, where they know their teachers, where their friends are waiting for them, and where they are surrounded by people who care about them. As a mummy, that feeling is priceless. It gives us the peace of mind that they are not only safe, but genuinely happy.

Edukidz is also very close to our hearts because my nephew, who has ASD, has been part of the school too. This makes our connection with the school even more meaningful. Every child is different, and seeing the patience, kindness and understanding the teachers have shown towards him has truly touched our family. They welcomed him, included him and took the time to understand him for who he is. They gave him a place where he could feel comfortable and accepted. And honestly, as a family, knowing that he has a place where he belongs means more than words can say.

I love that Edukidz doesn’t make children feel like they are simply coming to school to learn. They make learning fun. They allow children to explore, play, make mistakes, grow and just be little kids. The teachers don’t only teach them ABCs, numbers or lessons from books, they teach them confidence, kindness, friendship and so many little things that become part of who they are. And I think that is why the children become so attached to the school and their teachers. It becomes a place they feel they belong.

We are truly grateful to be part of the Edukidz family. And we are so happy and proud to see Edukidz being nominated for this award. You deserve all the recognition for the love and dedication you give to our children every single day.

We are really grateful for the progress Isaac has made since joining the school. We have seen such a big improvement in him, especially in his communication and social interaction. From previously being non-verbal, Isaac is now able to communicate verbally and even interact and join in with his friends.

Although his speech is still not very smooth, we feel that this is already a very big and meaningful step forward for him. Seeing him becoming more confident in expressing himself and being able to participate with other children really means a lot to us as parents.

We truly appreciate the teachers’ patience, care and dedication in supporting Isaac at his own pace. The encouragement and positive environment have helped him grow and become more comfortable and confident.

Thank you for all the love, effort and patience you have given Isaac. We are very thankful that he is part of the school and to see how far he has come.

Hello, we are Aminah’s parents.

We still remember the very first day we met Teacher Rachel, when Aminah was just 3 years old. At that time, Teacher Racheal gave us valuable guidance on our child’s education and early intervention. From our very first meeting, we had a strong feeling that Edukidz would be the right and best school for our daughter.

When Aminah turned 4, she started attending Edukidz full-time, and we have seen such a positive transformation in her. Her behaviour, attitude, attention span, physical development and overall confidence have improved tremendously.

There were many things Aminah could not do before, but today, she has achieved so much. From not knowing how to write, she can now write and read. She can participate in sports and physical activities with confidence. She also went from wearing diapers to successfully being potty trained without diapers.

All of these achievements would not have been possible without the dedication, patience and support of the teachers at Edukidz. We are truly grateful for every teacher who has guided, taught and cared for Aminah throughout her journey.

To us, Edukidz is more than just a school. It has been an important part of Aminah’s growth and development, and we are incredibly thankful to have found a place where she is understood, supported and given the opportunity to grow at her own pace.

We sincerely hope that Edukidz will continue to grow and prosper, and that one day, it will have many more branches so that more children and families can experience the same wonderful support that we have received.

Most importantly, we hope that all the teachers at Edukidz will continue to educate and care for our children with the same patience, sincerity, love and dedication.

Thank you, Edukidz, for being such an important part of Aminah’s journey.

With love and gratitude,
Aminah’s Parents

As a parent, I am truly grateful to have my child be part of Tadika Edukidz.

From the very beginning, I have seen how caring, patient and dedicated the teachers are towards the children. They do not only focus on academic learning, but also on building the children’s confidence, independence, good manners and social skills.

My child looks forward to going to school and has grown so much, not only in knowledge but also in personality. This shows how much love and effort the teachers put into creating a happy, safe and positive learning environment.

I would like to sincerely thank all the teachers and staff of Tadika Edukidz for their dedication, patience and continuous support. As a parent, it gives me great peace of mind knowing that my child is learning and growing in such a wonderful environment.

Tadika Edukidz truly deserves this recognition. We are proud and happy to be part of the Edukidz family.

As parents, one of the greatest things we can hope for is to find a school where our children are not only taught, but truly seen, understood and loved. For our family, Edukidz has been that place.

When Arianne first started, she was a very timid and reserved little girl. What touched us most was how the teachers never pressured her to change. Instead, they gave her patience, encouragement and a safe environment to slowly find her confidence.

Little by little, we watched her blossom. She became more willing to participate, express herself and try new things. Seeing that transformation has been one of the most beautiful things for us as parents. Edukidz made her feel seen, and that has made such a difference.

We also love that Edukidz goes beyond academic learning. Their hands-on activities prepare children for real-life situations, such as learning how to sell and interact with the public. These experiences build confidence, communication skills and independence in a way that children genuinely enjoy.

We especially appreciate Edukidz’s focus on environmental awareness this year. Through recycling activities and other programmes, the children are learning from a young age that caring for our Earth is everyone’s responsibility.

To us, Edukidz is more than a preschool. It is a place where children are given the space to learn, explore, experience and grow into confident little individuals.

We are truly grateful to all the teachers and staff for the love, patience and dedication they give our children. We are proud to be part of the Edukidz family and wholeheartedly believe they deserve this recognition.

With gratitude,
Yohanieca Joseph
Proud parent of two Edukidz children

As my daughter enters her final year of kindergarten, we are so grateful to see how much she has grown since she first started school at just 3 years old.

From a little girl who needed our help with everything, she has grown into a confident and independent child. We are especially thankful that the school focuses not only on academics, but also on meaningful activities and life experiences—such as camping, learning to sleep overnight on her own, and also building up true friendship along the way.

Thank you to all the teachers for your patience, care, dedication, and hard work throughout these years. You have played such an important part in her growth and have given her so many happy memories.

We are truly grateful for everything you have done for her.

A Preschool We Truly Trust

All four of my children started their preschool journey at Edukidz (Pingu) when they were three years old. My eldest is now 12 and my youngest is 5. Having all four of my children go through Edukidz (Pingu) says a lot about the trust and confidence we have in the school.

I would especially like to praise Rachel, the founder. She is incredibly dedicated and passionate about what she does. Over the years, I have watched her continuously learn, improve herself and upgrade the school. She never seems to stop striving to make Pingu better for the children.

What I admire most is how Edukidz (Pingu) has grown into a preschool that is especially welcoming and supportive of children with different needs and abilities. It takes genuine patience, understanding and love to create such an environment.

Thank you, Rachel, and the entire Edukidz (Pingu) team, for taking such good care of my children over the years. We are truly grateful to have been part of the Pingu family.

We are really happy with our experience at Tadika Edukidz. The teachers have been very patient, caring and understanding to our child. We appreciate how they take the time to understand her needs & learning pace and gently guide her throughout the learning process.

As parents, seeing her become more comfortable and making progress, even in small steps, means so much to us. We believe that having supportive and patient teachers makes a big difference in a child’s development.

Thank you to all the teachers and staff at Tadika Edukidz for your kindness, patience and dedication. We truly appreciate all the effort and care you have given to our little one.

We are very happy with the school and the teachers. The teachers are caring, patient and always put in their best effort to support the children. We really appreciate the love, care and positive environment provided by the school. Thank you for everything!
