Pivotal Future Growth Plans

The founders of Kiddo Kidz Kindergarten have a clear direction and vision for the future, seeking infinite opportunities for its students to excel. Pivotal growth plans include expanding the current preschool to a second location that can house up to 500 students in Bukit Antarabangsa, Selangor; building a new Rainforest International School and Tennis Academy in Taiping, Perak; and integrating a hybrid educational system via Rainforest International Online.

Rainforest International School will adopt a forward-looking US-based curriculum. Its proposed location is in a British colonial style building at Casuarina, Taiping. The campus will comprise technology-enhanced learning spaces, modern facilities, resort-style boarding houses and a well-equipped gym. The curriculum will give students distinct advantages through its unique academic rigour and emphasis on students’ personal development.

Aspiring athletes and students with exceptional sporting potential will have the opportunity to build their skills through the Rainforest Tennis Academy. The academy supports students to elevate both their athletic and academic performance. World class coaches will assist student-athletes by combining sports with higher education, and students will have the chance to participate in the International Tennis Federation Professional Circuit tournaments.

The Rainforest team also aims to partner with Liberty University Online Academy to offer a hybrid educational system. Lessons will be presented online with teacher support via phone or email. It is a self-paced curriculum based upon students’ abilities and daily assignment completion. Under this method of delivery, students can have instant access to grades and quick feedback regarding their progress.

All in all, innovative and progressive education is the heart of the team. They draw on the best practices to cultivate students to be globally minded, and reflective learners who demonstrate confidence and resilience.
