Introduction

Welcome to Kiddie Cove, where early learning feels like home.

We are a British-based preschool guided by the EYFS framework, which means we focus not only on what children know, but also on who they are becoming.

Our days are filled with laughter, discovery, and the kind of learning that builds both bright minds and kind hearts.

At Kiddie Cove, every child is encouraged to grow at their own pace – developing skills, abilities, and confidence while also learning how to care for themselves and others.

We believe in preparing children not just for school, but for life.

That’s why our curriculum includes life skills classes:

👩‍🍳 Cooking – stirring, mixing, and maybe a little taste-testing!
🌱 Gardening – planting seeds, getting messy, and watching things grow.
🔨 DIY & Construction – building creativity with little hands and big ideas.
🎶 Music & Drama – expressing themselves through sound, rhythm, and play.

👩‍🍳 Kiddie Cove Cooking Class🍓
At Kiddie Cove, our little chefs have a blast mixing, stirring, and creating yummy treats! Through fun, hands-on cooking activities, children learn about healthy food, teamwork, and creativity — all while having lots of delicious fun!

Of course, we also treasure those everyday magical moments—like the pride of zipping up a jacket, the joy of making a new friend, or the giggles that come with a silly storytime.

At Kiddie Cove, we see every child as unique, capable, and full of potential. Together with parents, we’re here to make these early years not only educational, but also memorable, meaningful, and fun.

Warm Regards,
Teacher Faridah

From the start to the end, Kiddie Cove has been amazing for us. Moving to Johor for the short term we needed to find a place for our little Noah quickly and Pn Faridah came in raya-eve to open up school and show us around. There’s so much care put into our child here and since Noah’s been in, he’s been talking a lot more. This nursery isn’t just a play school. The way they approach education in a fun way makes our little ones remember and enjoy their time there. It’s so sad to be moving away as Noah has made so many friends here. Thank you for looking after our Noah!

Walaa Sh Basatneh rates this listing with

Our son went there for almost a year and a half. Every weekend he was looking forward for Monday to come so he can go back to school. Every day there are lessons and sensory activities. From gardening, cooking, music to water sports. The teachers and Ms Faridah are wonderful!

Highly recommend, you will be happy and your munchkin will be ecstatic!

Estrella Cho rates this listing with

My child spent two months happily at Kidicove. The teacher sent me photos of what my child did each day, which always made me feel safe even when I was abroad. If anyone comes to Johor Bahru with a child, I would recommend Kidicove without hesitation.

Raissa Pereira rates this listing with

When I moved to Malaysia and visited Kiddie Cove, I confess that I was unsure whether to enroll my children, who were 3 years old and 1 year and 8 months old at the time, because the structure was small compared to the school my 3-year-old son studied at in Thailand.

However, I was pleasantly surprised because what seemed small in terms of infrastructure was huge in terms of the quality of teaching and love for the children.

My son's English improved at an impressively fast rate and my daughter, who at the time could not speak, also started to learn a few words, and today, having just turned 3, she knows colors, the alphabet, numbers, days of the week, among others.

The director was always very present and respectful of our opinions and parenting principles.

I truly recommend this school! It is a place where we can feel the love from the teachers, the playful way in which they teach the children so well, and we can follow all of this very closely due to the constant feedback and photos.

What I can say is that we will all miss and will always be grateful for the time our children spent here.

Minjung Kim rates this listing with

My 2 kids had wonderful time for a month. The first few days, my second one cried but day by day he became so better becoz teachers and the principle of Kiddie Cove, she really was helping my son to adopt the new environment.

My first one, from the first day had fun!

Thank you so much taking care of my kids and also all the pics during the time.
I will come back. Trimakase!

Sofie Kornum rates this listing with

Having enrolled our son into Kiddie Cove made the adjustment period in a new country so much easier! From day one our son loved the structure as well as the activities, that are always fun, creative and educative. A part from making lots of new friends he improved a lot in English and in a variety of life skill situations. The principal and the teachers are really competent and kind. We appreciate the daily updates, photos and communication a lot. I have already recommended Kiddie Cove to other parents and I would be happy to do so again. Thank you for taking good care of our son!

We will miss you and look forward to seeing you again when we return.

Parent rates this listing with

My 5 year old son joined this school 2 years ago at the age of 3, after not settling well into another school. Right away he felt at ease with the care and attention of Faridah and her wonderful team. I noticed immediately a difference in his daily demeanour, during pickup and drop off he was always smiling and reluctant to leave. The teachers there have created a great environment for children to laugh play and learn. I am very impressed by the implementation for EYFS British curriculum. By age 4 my son was able to write his name, letters, numbers and read through decoding of CVC and tricky words amongst other skills way above his age range. The latter is a definite result of the high quality education delivered through the program.

I highly recommend this school, we are so sad to leave but he is now at the age to join big boy school! Thanks team for all your love and care over the years! You will be so missed!

항상 유쾌하신 원장 선생님과 따스하게 맞아주시는 선생님들 덕에 아이가 한달간 즐겁게 다녔습니다. 원장 선생님이 매일 왓츠앱으로 일상 사진을 보내주시고, 문의에도 빠르게 피드백을 주셔서 소통하기도 좋았습니다. 기념일과 연관된 소소한 행사들과, 미술/요리/음악 등 다양한 활동들이 진행됩니다. 일, 주, 월 단위 등록이 가능해서 한달살기 오시는 분들이 많이 보내시고, 한국인 친구들이 몇명씩은 항상 있었어서 아이가 적응도 금방한 것 같아요. 단기로 유치원 등록이 필요하신 분들께 추천드립니다!

Thanks to the always cheerful director and warm, welcoming teachers, my child enjoyed attending the preschool for a month. The director sent daily photos of her day via WhatsApp and responded quickly to inquiries, making communication a breeze. They also organize small events related to special occasions, as well as various activities like art, cooking, and music. Since you can register for the day, week, or month, many parents come here for a month. And since there were always a few Korean friends, my child adapted quickly. I highly recommend this preschool for anyone looking for a short-term experience!

작년 8월에 시작해 1년정도되었네요

조호를 많이 낯설어했던 6세 남자아이가
5군데 이상 상담다녀오고
두말없이 원픽으로 선택한 유치원입니다

일단 선생님들 에너지가 넘 좋으시고
정말 밝고 신나게 아이들을 맞아주셔서
즐겁게 등교합니다

한국 놀이학교 느낌이고,
원장님의 교육철학이 매우 확고하시고
아이들의 적성 취향 그날의 컨디션까지 고려해서 프로그램을 진행해 주십니다

꼼꼼하게 피드백해주시고
단기로든 장기로든 등록이 유연해서
그것 역시 장점입니다

한국 아이들을 비롯해
다양한 국적이 아이들이 있어
영어로 대화를 해야합니다
그래서 아주 영어를 못하는 아이들일 경우
초반에 적응하기 힘들 수 있습니다
(아이들도 적응할 시간이 필요합니다 기다려주세요)

* 미디어 노출이 된다고 꺼려하시는 분들이 있습니다만,
기본적으로 학습과 관련된 시청각자료 또는 아침 운동을 위해 활용됩니다.

조호에서 멋지고 행복한 시간되세요 ^^

It's been about a year since I started in August last year.

A 6-year-old boy who was very unfamiliar with Johor.
After going to more than 5 counseling centers
I chose this kindergarten as my top pick without hesitation.

First of all, the teachers have great energy, and they welcome the children brightly and cheerfully, so I enjoy going to school.

It feels like a Korean play school, and the director's educational philosophy is very solid, and the program is conducted considering the children's aptitude, taste, and condition of the day.

They give meticulous feedback, and the registration is flexible for short-term or long-term, which is also an advantage.

There are children of various nationalities, including Korean children, so I have to speak in English. So, if the children are not very good at English, it may be difficult to adapt at first. (The children also need time to adapt. Please wait.)

* Some people are reluctant to be exposed to media, but it is basically used for audiovisual materials related to learning or morning exercise.

Have a wonderful and happy time at Johor ^^

영어할줄 모르는 6살 3살아이 두명, 5개월정도 다녔는데 기대도 하지 않았던 영어 발화가 되네요. 선생님들 너무 친절하시고 아이들 진짜 사랑으로 챙겨주시는걸 느꼈어요. 원장선생님과 인성교육에 대한 생각도 나눌 기회가 있었는데 확고하셔서 더 신뢰가 갔어요.

다양한 활동들도 많이 해요. 활동 사진도 많이 보내주셔서 아이들 전반적으로 어떻게 생활하는지 볼 수 있었어요.

첫째는 진짜 정이 많이 들었는지 크면 만나러 올거라고, 그때도 선생님들은 키디코브에 계시겠지?라고 했답니다. 돌아가서도 연락하고 싶다고 하고요.

어디로 보낼지 고민하고 계시다면 추천합니다.

(Google Translation)
My two children, a 6-year-old and a 3-year-old who don't know English, attended for about 5 months, and they started speaking English, which I didn't expect. The teachers were so kind and I felt that they really loved the children. I had a chance to talk to the director about character education, and I trusted them more because they were so firm.

They also do a lot of different activities. They sent me a lot of photos of their activities, so I could see how the children were living overall.

My eldest child must have really grown attached to me because he said he would come see me when he grew up, and I thought the teachers would be at Kidicove then. He said he wanted to keep in touch when he went back.

If you're having trouble deciding where to send him, I recommend this place.

先生たちが明るくあたたかく、家族のように見守ってくれます。慣れない土地で不安ななか、私にとっても心の支えでした。英語はもちろん、運動に音楽、工作など毎日の活動が工夫されていて、息子は特に料理や園芸の時間が大好きでした。おすすめの幼稚園です!

The teachers are cheerful and warm, and watch over us like family. They were a great support for me when I was anxious about being in an unfamiliar place. They have creative daily activities, including English, sports, music, and crafts, and my son especially enjoyed cooking and gardening classes. I recommend this kindergarten!

벌써 조호바루 한달 살기 다녀 온지 1년 전이네요. 그 당시 첫째는 2학년은 스쿨링 프로그램 보냈고 둘째 4살 보낼 곳 고민하다 다른 곳과 비교 불가한 좋은 조건에 선택했어요. 지금도 원장선생님의 우아한 아름다움과 배려 따뜻함 감사드리고 훌륭한 모든 선생님 최고 셨습니다. 조호바루의 맑고 눈부신 햇살의 조호바루 모두들 그립네요! 건강하세요

It's already been a year since I lived in Johor Bahru for a month. At that time, I sent my first child to a schooling program in the second grade and was worried about where to send my second child, who was 4 years old, but I chose this place because it had incomparable conditions compared to other places. I'm still grateful for the elegant beauty and considerate warmth of the principal, and all the great teachers were the best. I miss everyone in Johor Bahru, with its clear and dazzling sunlight! Stay healthy!

원장님 영어발음이 좋습니다. 한국의 놀이영유같은 느낌을 받았습니다. 북적이는 에코보타닉에 위치하지 않은 것도 좋습니다. 한적한 느낌의 키디코브를 사랑합니다.

The director's English pronunciation is good. It felt like a Korean play park. I also like that it is not located in the crowded Eco Botanic. I love the quiet atmosphere of Kiddiecove.

선생님들이 굉장히 적극적이고 따스한 곳이에요. 여행와서 아이를 맡길 곳이 필요하다면 무조건 여기에요!!!! 아주어린아이 보육부터 조금 큰아이들 언어 공부 및 예능 다양한 활동까지. 아이가 하루 중 가장 긴 시간을 보내게 되는 유치원 생활을 안심하고 행복하게 보낼 수 있어요. 원장님 책임감과 아이를 대하시는 모습이 정말 진실하시고 사랑이 넘쳐요. 더 놀라운건 많은 선생님들이 항상 웃으시고 아이들을 대해 주신다는거에요 조호바루는 무조건! 키디코브에요

The teachers are very active and warm. If you need a place to leave your children while traveling, this is the place!!!! From childcare for very young children to language studies and various arts and crafts activities for slightly older children. You can spend your children's kindergarten life, where they spend the longest time in a day, with peace of mind and happiness. The director's sense of responsibility and the way she treats children are so sincere and full of love. What's even more surprising is that many teachers always smile and treat children well. Johor Bahru is definitely Kiddiecove!

선생님들 모두 친절하고 아이들을 이뻐해주세요. 이 곳 유치원은 즐겁다며 아이가 먼저 가는 곳이네요. 영어가 늘거란 생각은 기대는 안하고 2달 조금 넘게 보냈는데 3세,5세 아이들이 어느덧 문장을 말하고 단어를 익혀오네요.
다양한 활동도 하고 아이들이 즐겁게 생활할 수 있도록 노력해주시는것 같아요.
즐거운 kiddie cove 생활하고 떠납니다~ 그동안 사랑으로 보살펴주셔서 감사합니다~

The teachers are all kind and loving to the children. This kindergarten is a fun place for my child to go to first. I didn't expect much English improvement, but after just over two months, my three- and five-year-olds are already speaking sentences and learning vocabulary. They offer a variety of activities and seem to work hard to make the children happy. I'm leaving after a fun time at Kiddie Cove. Thank you for your loving care.

원장님 이하 선생님들 너무 좋으십니다. 도착하는 순간부터 사진찍어서 보내주시고 활동이 바뀔때마다 또 사진 찍어서 보내주시고 소통해 주십니다. 여러가지 프로그램이 요일별로 돌아가서 아이도 엄청 즐거워하고 등원할때도 신나서 등원했습니다. 한 달 등록도 가능하니까 유치원 고민되시면 키디코브 강추합니다!

(Google Translation)
The director and all the teachers are wonderful. They take and send photos from the moment my child arrives, and they keep in touch with us by taking more photos and sending more whenever activities change. The different programs rotate throughout the day, so my child really enjoys it and is always excited to arrive. Monthly registrations are also available, so if you're considering preschool, I highly recommend Kiddy Cove!
