Behind this success is a dedicated team of teachers and staff who have made it their mission to help children learn and develop, with a focus on preparing them for entry into any primary school of their choice.
“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.

Pitter Patter Early Learning Centre and Childcare is best known as the place where parents can feel assured that their little ones will be well taken care of while they play, learn and make friends.
The principal’s unwavering love for early childhood care, education and development prompted her to set up Pitter Patter. After everything that she has learned and experienced, she truly believes that among what matters to children when it comes to facilitating their natural learning abilities is to be able to move around and not be confined into classrooms. The set up of the centre itself speaks volume of the principal’s views.
Pitter Patter is not typically academic compared to some really ‘strict’ preschools. The learning environment matters a lot, and here, children have access to the materials and resources they need to thrive cognitively as they are exposed to subjects such as Math, Science, Knowledge of the World and Creative Arts. Through this ideal environment, little learners will be able to make connections and take in new concepts with ease while enjoying their days as children should, with fun and laughter. Lessons are kept interactive and interesting to keep little minds fascinated and thirsty to learn more.
It’s apparent that Pitter Patter has set itself apart when it comes to providing a wonderful space for children to learn, play and ask questions. It’s also refreshing to find that there are individuals such as Cynthia, the principal, who still sees the value of basic requirements such as space, and the importance of freedom and play in early childhood development.
