The early years of a child’s life from infancy to toddlerhood are some of the most important: it’s when they speak their first words, take their first steps, and build the foundation for everything they will do in the future.
It is this critical period that Sunshower Childcare Center focuses on at their new Petalz Residence, Old Klang Road branch. Drawing from their experience in nurturing young minds at their renowned Sunshower Educare preschool in Happy Garden, this new branch follows the same Reggio Emilia-inspired, child-centred learning philosophy, and is tailored for infants and toddlers aged 2 months to 4 years old.
It can be heart wrenching to be away from your infant for the first time, especially for new parents. Being parents themselves, the CEO and principal of Sunshower Educare – Mr. Steven Lim and Ms. Poh Sin – understand this well. This is why at Sunshower Childcare Center, they have created an exceptional space for babies and toddlers that is safe, clean, and comfortable, so parents can be rest assured that all of their child’s needs are taken care of during the day.
Occupying two floors of a retail lot, the spacious premises are beautifully designed with a colourful but soothing palette. To ensure the highest standards of safety, every corner features CCTVs, on top of child-safe furniture and padded areas.
Infants rest in quiet rooms where gentle, tinkling music puts them at ease, while the baby activity room is equipped with NANOE air circulation technology to eliminate bacteria and ensure the space is hygienic for when babies need to crawl. Moreover, the high ceilings and bright interiors provide a cheerful atmosphere that supports active exploration and learning.
As for meals, the menu is carefully planned with the guidance of a nutritionist, so that the child’s nutritional needs are met at this critical stage where they are growing at a rapid pace.
Sunshower Child Care Center’s programmes are customised to help each age group reach their developmental milestones. Infants below six months old, for example, are not just lying in their cots, but also benefit from activities such as tummy time, pull-to-stand exercises, and gentle massages to stimulate them and encourage physical growth. Additionally, they may be shown black-and-white flashcards to enhance their visual and cognitive development, which progresses to coloured flash cards as they grow older.
For toddlers and older children, activities include sensory exploration, early maths concepts, language, and messy play sessions in the dedicated messy play room. Sunshower’s Reggio Emilia-inspired pedagogy emphasises all-round development across six core areas, namely physical, language, communication and literacy; social-emotional and personality development, arts and creativity, early maths and logical thinking, as well as sensory development.
Children engage in hands-on activities designed to spark curiosity and nurture their creativity, which at this stage may include grasping toys or painting with their hands. These early foundational experiences are essential so that they are ready physically, socially, and emotionally to move to preschool and beyond.
Caregivers and educators form the heart of Sunshower Child Care Center. Trained in early childhood education and development, they bring expertise, compassion, and dedication to their roles. The team also receives ongoing professional development to stay updated with best practices in infant and toddler care.
The centre maintains a low caregiver-to-child ratio to provide personalised attention to each child. For infants, caregivers focus on creating strong bonds through responsive care, while for toddlers, the emphasis shifts to helping children build independence and self-confidence.
As the Sunshower family expands with this new branch, it continues to uphold its high standards by providing exceptional early childhood care and education. Its convenient location along Old Klang Road and close to the Kuala Lumpur city centre also makes it a great choice for busy working parents who want a safe and welcoming space filled with love, learning, and joy – that their child can call a second home.
