OWL Baby and Childcare Centre, Cyberjaya

These early years are when children are first experiencing so many new and exciting things from sights and sounds to the concepts of sharing and helping. Being more than just a daycare, OWL Baby and Childcare Centre provides a balance of structured and unstructured play and learning activities that nurture each child through every milestone. They are committed to partnering with parents to ensure the best experience for children to lay a strong foundation for their development, health and well-being in years to come. This is what distinguishes OWL Baby and Childcare Centre from traditional childcare facilities.  

The comfortable and caring environment fosters infants and toddler’s natural curiosity and allows them to freely explore the spaces within. There is an infant room with individualized cribs for babies to cozy up in, with plenty of room for tummy-time and for them to make sense of sights and sounds in the surroundings. The toddler area takes up a big open space that is divided into learning corners filled with age-appropriate toys, educational materials and child-sized equipment. The corners are organised to promote active discovery in areas such as art, sensory, reading and role play. There are separate nooks for children to sit to listen to or recite their own stories, act out roles in a play area which can be set up to look like a restaurant or any scene related to the themes, do any free-form of drawing with paper and crayons, work on puzzles and construction blocks, or self-regulate their emotions calmly in a quiet corner.  This is just to name a few. Instead of waiting around for teachers to instruct what to do and when to do things, this setting encourages children to explore independently and learn by doing.     

All experiences help children establish a routine, encourage exploration and reinforce skills, especially social-emotional abilities. Learning how to recognise and self-regulate emotions, maintain healthy relationships and take into account other’s perspectives are all crucial skills for successful overall growth. To give children a well-rounded environment to thrive, OWL Baby and Childcare Centre provides a variety of enrichment programmes carefully curated from other allied education providers. Enrichment programmes include music and movement, art, and toddler Taekwondo, which are all included in the tuition fee.

Regardless of ability level, the team is flexible and creative about meeting all children’s needs. Nobody is put into a separate classroom, but rather the curriculum is flexible enough to allow teachers to modify the methods they use to cater to children’s different growing rates. Teachers always plan ways to encourage participation and support children to learn as independently as possible.

All OWL Baby and Childcare staff are professionals who have the necessary qualifications attesting to their suitability of working with children. They adhere to Ministry, health and fire regulations to minimise any possible hazards or risks. Further to the provisions set out in the policies, staff are vigilant about hand hygiene and security measures, such as access control, security cameras and visitor protocol. Nutrition is also an important aspect of the curriculum. OWL Baby and Childcare Centre instils healthy eating habits as a reminder that you are what you eat. A nutrient-dense diet is maintained to help these rapidly developing bodies improve cognitive functions and sustain energy.
