Toddler Town International Preschool, Bangsar

With established branches in Plaza Mont Kiara, KL Sentral and Sri Hartamas, Toddler Town International Preschool is proud to expand its reach to the Bangsar community. This remarkable preschool provides a unique learning environment tailored specifically for children aged between 3 months and 6 years old, offering exceptional early childhood education programmes and inclusive initiatives.

At Toddler Town International Preschool, children have access to a variety of facilities designed to cater to their needs and stimulate their development. These facilities include an Occupational Therapy room, a baby room, toddler classrooms, a water play area, an outdoor playground and well-resourced learning spaces throughout the preschool. Each space is thoughtfully created to foster a nurturing and engaging atmosphere.

Since its recent opening, the preschool has been committed to providing children with ample opportunities to develop school readiness skills while also cultivating essential values such as kindness, empathy, respect and resilience. By setting positive examples, the dedicated teachers and therapists create an inclusive environment where every child can thrive, regardless of their abilities.

Recognising the crucial role of early childhood education in shaping a child's future, Toddler Town International Preschool believes that every child deserves the best possible start in life and the necessary support to reach their full potential. That's why all lead teachers at the preschool hold degrees in early childhood education. Carefully selected based on their educational background, teaching experience, and ability to form strong bonds with students, these educators have a genuine passion for the profession and a contagious enthusiasm for life, which inspires confidence and joy in those around them. The therapists are equally dedicated and qualified, holding degrees in Psychology and undergoing continuous training. This ensures that each child receives the necessary support and intervention for their unique needs.

Toddler Town's educational programmes are designed to embrace and celebrate the uniqueness of every child. The preschool offers a nurturing learning environment that encourages exploration, play and growth. Drawing from the best teaching approaches, including Reggio Emilia, Montessori and Waldorf, children are provided with rich experiences across various areas of early development.

The curriculum is guided by themes inspired by children's interests. Through in-depth projects, children explore a wide range of subjects, including Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Maths (S.T.E.A.M.), as well as Health & Nutrition, and Character Education. The emphasis is placed on active learning, allowing children to acquire knowledge through hands-on experiences. This approach not only helps them develop essential life skills but also encourages independent thinking and conflict resolution as they collaborate with their peers. Throughout their educational journey, teachers provide gentle guidance to ensure children achieve important milestones, preparing them for both school and life.

Understanding the value of the learning environment as a “third teacher” to children’s education, Toddler Town International Preschool places great emphasis on making the spaces within feel welcoming, aesthetically pleasing, and reflect diverse cultures and backgrounds. Every corner of the preschool is filled with purposeful materials carefully selected to ignite children's curiosity and facilitate their learning experiences. From engaging learning tools to enriching educational resources, Toddler Town International Preschool strives to create an environment that inspires children, encourages exploration and stimulates their intellectual and creative development.

Toddler Town International Preschool offers a range of classes to meet the needs of children at different stages of their development:

• Baby Road (3 months to walking age)
  This programme focuses on total learning, incorporating creative experiences such as Art, Music, Sensory Play, Communication and Social Interaction. The Nursery is led by Infant Care Nurses, maintaining a low 1:3 ratio to establish a secure emotional bond with the educators. Parents are regularly updated on their baby's progress through the parent app, ensuring a strong connection between home and school.
• Toddler Street (Walking age to 2.5 years old)
  The Toddler Street programme promotes holistic development, emphasising creative expressions, communication and language skills, personal growth, physical and sensorial development, and social interaction.
• Kid Lane (2.5 to 6 years old)
  In this programme, learning becomes more structured and integrated across various disciplines. It aims to develop life skills, character and attitudes, holistic goals, and academic achievements.

In addition to these classes, Toddler Town offers a Special Transition Education Programme (S.T.E.P.), a customised curriculum designed to integrate children with disorders and developmental delays gradually into a supportive mainstream classroom setting. Highly qualified therapists work closely with each child, creating an individualised educational plan (IEP) tailored to their specific needs. The therapy encompasses various interventions, including communication therapy, Oral Muscle Therapy, Occupational Therapy and Functional Routine. The IEP is regularly reviewed and adjusted to ensure optimal progress; it undergoes adjustments every 4 months, with additional weekly and monthly revisions as needed, ensuring personalised support for every child. Throughout this process, parents are kept informed and supported with the best possible ways to engage with their child outside of school, as well as make their home a safe space for the child.

At Toddler Town International Preschool, learning extends beyond the classroom. The preschool believes that general knowledge and understanding of the world are vital for a child's growth and success. With this in mind, Discovery Fridays enable children to explore topics of interest, creating their own encyclopaedic experiences. Additionally, children celebrate diverse festive occasions, learning about different cultures within their community.

Field trips, such as visits to Farm Fresh, Farm in the City and the fire station, offer children firsthand real-life experiences. Furthermore, Toddler Town organises concerts and sports days to encourage children's participation and foster a sense of community. Parent involvement is also highly valued, with opportunities for parents to share their professions and experiences with the children, such as inviting doctors or astronauts to speak.

On top of that, Toddler Town International Preschool takes great care in providing nutritious meals to children, adhering to guidelines from a nutritionist. The meals served are vegetarian and free from nuts and eggs to minimise the risk of allergies.

Toddler Town International Preschool offers a child-centred, nurturing and stimulating environment where children can thrive and develop their full potential. With a dedicated team of qualified educators and therapists, top-notch facilities, and a comprehensive curriculum, Toddler Town is committed to ensuring that every child receives the best possible start in life.
