At 3Q MRC Junior Kindergarten, Taman Maluri, the aim is to provide children with an outstanding foundation in education and life. The kindergarten creates a secure and engaging environment where children can develop self-confidence as individuals and acquire the knowledge necessary to excel in primary school. This is achieved through the use of a fun, broad, and creative play-based curriculum called the 3Q system, which is an established educational system that employs effective tools to encourage the complete development of the brain.
The curriculum helps to stimulate both sides of the brain, allowing children to develop decision-making and problem-solving skills while also learning how to regulate their emotions. By incorporating these techniques into daily education, children become more capable and confident individuals who can confidently tackle everyday challenges with a competent mindset.
3Q MRC Toddlers strive to provide toddlers aged 6 months to 3 years with the right start in life. The strength of the curriculum lies in its ability to develop the whole brain, helping toddlers boost both the logical and creative side of the brain.

To complete the development of the whole brain, teachers focus their attention on 9 different areas of intelligences: linguistic, logical-mathematical, musical, spatial, bodily/kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, naturalistic and existential.
Parents will find the school to be both child and family-centred. The extension of after school care interaction allows toddlers to spend more time around their peers, where they can learn to share and problem-solve together, while their minds grow and personalities emerge.
The school advocates for play, physical movement and talent exploration as part of the optimal development for toddlers. The philosophy and goals adequately primes toddler’s brains for learning and refine skills necessary for great achievements in kindergarten.
