In efforts to provide our loyal followers with a more comprehensive and wider ranging perspective on the Early Childhood Care and Education scene in Malaysia, Kiddy123 recently made our way to Damansara Heights, a modern bustling urban commercial hub. Intrigued but with an open mind, we began peeling away the layers that made up the fabric and tapestry of Damansara Heights’ daily life. Not very far beneath its cold and impersonal exterior was a colourful, dynamic and progressive melting pot of preschool education – from one of the earliest established preschools in the country to one established only four short years ago, these are our selected preschools in Damansara Heights (Bukit Damansara)!
