Petaling Jaya, 30 November 2017 – Brainy Bunch International Islamic Montessori (Brainy Bunch) officially opens its establishment in KidZania Kuala Lumpur. Underlining KidZania Kuala Lumpur’s unique approach to inculcate life skills learning among children through roleplaying, Brainy Bunch has set up an academy for preschool teachers within the kid friendly city, where kids can take on the role as preschool teacher trainees.
Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Brainy Bunch International Islamic Montessori En. Mohd Fadzil Hashim said the role of a preschool teacher is important as it contributes immensely to a child’s development.
“Teaching as a profession is well respected and ever so challenging. At Brainy Bunch, we believe that preschool teachers play a significant role in ensuring that children perform, function and learn well. The main purpose of Montessori preschool education is to help every child develop essential skills that are already within them for example ability to concentrate, self-motivate, self-discipline and the love of learning.
Preschool provides a foundation for both social and academic learning among children. With that exposure, the child is well prepared and equipped as they progress through kindergarten and primary school,” he said.
“Through our partnership with Kidzania Kuala Lumpur, we hope to leverage the platform to inspire children and expose them to the concept and the fun side of teaching as a career that they can possibly explore when they grow older.” Fadzil added.
Having previously announced its partnership with Brainy Bunch in 2016, KidZania Kuala Lumpur, En. Shahrul Nizar Ahmad, Mayor of KidZania Kuala Lumpur said the collaboration with Brainy Bunch will add to more excitement and enriching learning experiences for the children in KidZania Kuala Lumpur.
“By blending realistic role of the teaching profession with entertaining aspects, we believe KidZania Kuala Lumpur and Brainy Bunch will provide an authentic and powerful developmental experience,” Ahmad said.
“With the support from our partners, children are able to acquire real-life skills, learn about working and are introduced to the fundamentals of each and every profession there are. While they enjoy the role-play activity in each establishment, the children are also learning interpersonal skills, mutual cooperation and respect, attributes they need to succeed as adults in future. KidZania Kuala Lumpur offers over 100 profession related role-playing activities spread across 60 various city establishments that encourage children to practice adaptive and positive behaviour that will help to groom them to handle the demands and challenges of everyday life. KidZania Kuala Lumpur is also an official co-curricular partner to the Malaysian Ministry of Education.

About KidZania Kuala Lumpur
KidZania is an indoor family education and entertainment centre, which offers an interactive learning and entertainment experience targeted at kids aged 4 to 14 years. KidZania combines role-play with real life, creating a kid-centric city experience designed to educate and inspire kids; from arriving at the airport, to visiting a city centre to exploring the city streets. As in the real world, kids choose activities – such as being a police officer, doctor, journalist or a customer – and earn money, which they can then spend or save. KidZania operates just like a real city complete with buildings, paved streets, vehicles, a functioning economy, and recognisable destinations in the form of “establishments” sponsored and branded by leading international and local brands. The facilities are designed to educate through experience, fostering the development of life skills, but from a kid’s perspective it is all about fun. Spread over 80,000 sq. ft. across two levels, KidZania Kuala Lumpur is conveniently located in Curve NX opposite the Curve shopping mall in Mutiara Damansara and offers more than 100 different role-playing activities in over 60 establishments.
