“The balance of learning and playing has to be taken into consideration. In fact, given due thought, focusing too much on academics alone will do no good for a child, and neither will a curriculum that prioritises play over academics,” the founder stated. “These have to be well proportioned to reap the best results in the outcome of a child’s development during the critical growing years.”
As one of the top kindergartens in Klang Valley, Knowledge Tree is also known for its stellar after-school activities which covers a vast area of interest such as language classes (Mandarin and Bahasa Malaysia); Music; Arts & Crafts; Speech & Drama, etc. Other than being a well-known kindergarten, Knowledge Tree also offers a flexible childcare service, a safe, homely yet stimulating place where parents can send their kids to after school.
