Founded by Madame Lui Thai Heng, our centre also specialise in preparing children from all ethnic backgrounds, Chinese, Malay, Indian to eventually enter the SJKC stream.

Over the years, we have many children that come to us as young as two months old and continue to be with us until they leave for secondary school. Your child’s Learning Steps is a journey we would like to share with you. Come visit us today!
My baby, who is 1 and half years old, has learned a lot of words after attending school here for half a year. She can speak them out by herself and sometimes sings. I am very happy to take her to school every day and have made many friends. The teachers are very kind and can also sing. There are many photos for parents to see when their babies are studying at school. The day care here also includes dinner, which makes me, a working mom, much more relaxed.

My daughter Suri started joining Taska when she was just a young infant. Now she is 5 years old. After school one day, Suri was singing in the car the whole way back and I passed her my phone to record her singing right before we reached home.
To be honest, she rarely catches the lyrics of a song, at least to sound as much similar to the lyrics. But my husband and I were over the moon yesterday playing back this recording over and over again, just amazed and impressed at how far she’s come. She could even sing in Mandarin fluently and accurate pronunciation! That’s amazing!
Thank you Ms Grace and to all the teachers, educators and caretakers at the Taska and PJKK for constantly pushing Suri beyond her capabilities, to encourage her and include her always.

Taska Damansara Utama is a great place that makes learning fun for your child!
The teachers are caring, friendly and genuinely enthusiastic about fostering a love for learning.
I started sending my 2 kids to Taska Damansara Utama when they were just a few months old. Time has passed and both are now 5 & 7 years old. Both my kids are always excited to go to Taska Damansara Utama and come back home with big smiles. As a mother I'm happy to hear them sharing their days and knowing that they are well taken care of for their meal, safety, hygiene, education & etc.

My toddler started at this daycare when she was about 18 months old, and now, at almost 2 years old, she absolutely loves it! Every morning, she excitedly talks about going to see 'kakak' (her adorable way of referring to her caregivers), and at home, she happily calls out the names of her daycare friends. It’s heartwarming to see how much fun she's having and how comfortable she feels there. Knowing she's in such a nurturing environment gives me great peace of mind while I'm at work. Highly recommend this daycare!

As working parents, my husband and I were looking for a daycare that would provide a nurturing and safe environment for our daughter. We enrolled her at Taska Damansara Utama when she was just 3 months old, and she has been there for over 3 months now. We have absolute peace of mind knowing she is in good hands. The staff are not only friendly and caring but also flexible in accommodating our needs. They genuinely care for her well-being, and we couldn’t be happier with the level of care they provide.

It is such a relief for me to have this day care so near my house. The hardest as parents is when kids struggle everyday chasing after homework and hardly surviving during exams. Furthermore my kids go to Chinese School but I can't read or write Chinese. I am the most grateful to come to this day care and got this part of worry lifted so I can fully focus better on my career. Truly appreciate the teachers here.
So many love for Teacher Michael, Teacher Grace and Teacher Ain for pouring their hearts out giving the best for the kids and utmost convenience for me.

Both of my children attend Tasks Damansara Utama. Starting at baby school and now the older sibling is attending the kindy, I have seen how they have developed well.
Teachers and helpers are dedicated and caring. Popo, although stern, is also encouraging when she guides them during writing lessons.
Teachers at baby school always are happy to greet the children in the morning. They are also very patient when handling tantrums or tears caused by boo boos. My children enjoy the meals there constantly asking me to make the spaghetti like daycare (so far failing miserably).
The kindy have wonderful, dedicated teachers who want the best for the children. I feel they make the effort to understand each child's character and help them develop in areas they lack and encourage in areas of strength.

Thank you so much Teacher Grace and Teacher Michael. My 5 year old daughter has improved so much after joining your school. I am really grateful for all your patience and dedication in educating and nurturing the children there. The teachers are always kind and supportive towards parents and share precious moments of my girl at school. On top of focusing on academics, the school also provide fun educational activities and events to keep the learning interesting. The kids can truly enjoy their learning journey through experiencing all aspects in life with the teachers at school.

Thank you teachers for the patience and guidance. My 5 year old son definitely has shown improvement after joining your kindergarten program. Thank you for teachers' nurture and patience as well. We can see rapid improvement and progress of our son in his studies and behaviour. He became more responsible, independent and proactive of learning and helping others out. My son loves all the teachers at school as they always take care of him well.

My two sons are outstanding in terms of academic and good morality thanks to the joint efforts by teachers like you all who has guided and mould them since young. SJKC syllabus were challenging but my boys made it through their primary school days with all the dedication and guidance from the teachers.

I am beyond grateful that I’m able to find the most amazing and dedicated team of teachers with great level of patience when it comes to teaching. I was too, a former teacher, and so I understand the challenges of being a teacher. My two kids started when they were 5 years old and now in SJKC primary school. My kids constantly talk about their day at the daycare when they’re home which I realised they have learnt a lot from the teachers. I wished that I had such loving teachers as my kids when I was a child. I’m thankful with all the extra help and guidance from the teachers. I trust my kids are always well taken care of. By knowing that, I’m able to focus on my career as a working mum. As a parent, the daycare’s existence is a blessing to me.

Thank you for all support and kindness given to my son all these years. We really appreciate all the teachers dedication and guidance to him. My son struggled with learning three languages at the same time which are Mandarin, English and Bahasa Malaysia. However, the teachers teach in bilingual and my son was able to speak, write and read in Mandarin. With the great patience and guidance of the teachers, my son is able to have a strong fundamentals to attend SJKC.

My son goes here since 4 months old and now turned one. When he sees the teacher, he jumps straight into their arms with a big smile, pushes me away too. It gives me a lot of peace of mind knowing he enjoys the daycare a lot. I heard many horror stories, but with this daycare, you don’t have to worry about all that because they genuinely love kids. I can tell from my son’s approach to them. Thank you Learning Steps!

As parents, my wife and I are busy 24/7 and have no time to accompany our wonderful son the god have blessed us with. We have been struggling to find a childcare that suits our need until I found the Taska Damansara Utama childcare. It is a colorful building that is filled with joyful kids playing around and I knew I had to sign up for my beloved son. The teachers there are lovely, caring and kind, they welcomed my son with open arms on the first day. The environment here is clean and spacious which is suitable for my 3-year-old son. Every day, when I fetch my kid home, there would be a smile on his face as he tells his amazing day to me. I could only be jealous of what miraculous activities that had carried out in the childcare which they would spend their, time, energy and money to satisfy my kid. As he grew older it was eventually time to leave, the most painful part as a parent is to see your son cry as he said goodbyes to all his friends and teachers that they grew up with. As he graduated from kindergarten and entered primary school, I decided to enroll him in the learning steps academy. In his first few years in primary school, he could not keep up in class and he have been hiding from his teachers in school. Therefore, I consulted this with the teachers in the daycare and they recommended him to enroll him in extra tuitions. With the patience and determination of the teachers here, my son who was failing started to get better grades. Words couldn’t express how happy I was, I have so must respect towards the teachers here as they continue to do amazing works of "heart" with all children and continue to make the world a better place. All in all, I would like to thank each and every daycare teacher and staff person that has been a part of our family for almost nine years and I will continue to send my child here for as long as the teachers allow me too. It is the creation of the teachers here that has enabled my son to be outgoing, independent and respectful of others.

When my wife and I newly came to Malaysia from Vietnam, we actually struggled to find a good mentor for our twins who were 4-year old. We had to adapt to the unfamiliar language and customs here. Both of our sons also struggled to learn the language because they only knew to speak Vietnamese and
Cantonese. Naturally, any parents would want their children to succeed so we enrolled them on this great daycare called Taska Damansara Utama. Unlike other daycares, this one engages with the children there and makes them feel like they’re at home.
After just a month, I begin to see improvement in my pair of twins. For the first time ever, I heard them spoke English, Mandarin and Malay. Even words couldn’t express how happy my wife and I were. When they were old enough to join the elite program in the Learning Steps Academy, my sons started learning advanced subjects at the level of a standard 1 student before even going to primary school. Years after years had
passed, from being an only Vietnamese and Cantonese speaking twins, they now fluently speak five languages, adding on English, Mandarin and Malay.
In a blink of an eye, my proudness for the both of my sons turned into anxiousness because they were going to enter high school. Plus, the pandemic hit and it impacted us badly. I recall
my life during high school when I was a gangster and I was barely passing everything. I wish my sons would be smarter to make better decisions. The only source of knowledge they could get was through the Learning Steps Academy online course because the school didn’t even bother to do online teaching. When their finals came, they did it through their laptop on a Google form. To be honest, I think that whole year
was wasted for my two boys. On the next year when physical class restarted, I knew this was going to be a challenge because they have never been exposed to this kind of environment. On their first term exam, their grades started dropping like a plane
nosediving from the air. I realized how badly this was going to end up so I had no choice but to sign them up for extra tuitions.
After a few months of studying until 8:30 p.m. everyday, their grades were saved especially their History and Geography subjects. From failing, those two subjects became 70+ percent.
I have no idea how I can show my gratitude towards the teacher of the Learning Steps Academy so I will express them through words- To Teacher Michael, your constant aid for the academy my children with their English and their knowledge about the world are much obliged. To Teacher Grace, please
accept my deepest gratitude for your teaching of Chinese, Mathematics, Science and even life! Lastly, To Cikgu Ain, it has been such a blessing for your charming ability to teach the
school Malay, no one could do it better. I will give my continuous support towards the Taska and Academy.

I enrolled my son into Taska Damasara Utama when he was only three. Just a few days of going there, my son will always come home with a beam of happiness on his face. In a small period of time, his bad habits were gone and he became a diligent young man. The staff and teachers there are also very kind, I could feel the love and attention they give for each and every child there in the centre. Now that he is in primary, he has been acing also one of the top student in his class. Even during the pandemic period, he didn’t do as poorly as I thought, but he still maintained his talents thank to their excellent planning for online class. Although he had some lost knowledge, the teachers there managed to teach my son what he had forgotten over the years. As a parent, we want our children to be a little genius and happy at the same time. That’s why I put my son into the centre. I never knew a daycare centre could made my son from an uneducated little boy into a smart young man. Now that he’s twelve, he is still having a good life with his friends while studying. I don’t see myself and my wife pulling him out anytime. An amazing centre like this deserved to have an easy 5 stars in every way.
