What sets Eduwis apart and makes it one of the best preschools in KL is undoubtedly its program. The Eduwis program is constructed by integrating the approaches of 8 different educationists, including Erik Erikson, Friedrich Froebel, Loris Malaguzzi, Maria Montessori, Jean Piaget, Shinichi Suzuki, Lev Vygotsky, and Confucius. This esteemed lineup of figures contributes to a program seamlessly combining the most valuable aspects of their theories and approaches, establishing a comprehensive educational framework. Through this approach, Eduwis is able to provide children with a holistic education that focuses on every aspect of their development.
Eduwis has been dedicated to the continuous improvement of our Eduwis Program such as achieving through extensive research and development efforts. Our team has undertaken extensive journeys to visit leading preschools worldwide, including those in Australia, Japan, the United Kingdom, Italy, the United States, Singapore, and Indonesia, to gain inspiration and insights from the best practices in early childhood education. Eduwis program draws significant influence from the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) of the Australian education system while incorporating elements of Malaysia's unique context. This ensures that our young learners benefit from a globally informed approach and develop the skills necessary to transition into the Malaysian primary school system seamlessly.
As one of the top preschools in Malaysia, each Eduwis’s teacher undergoes monthly training to acquire essential procedures, knowledge, experiences, and personal skills. These sessions focus on improving their ability to conduct lessons and cultivating qualities that make for exceptional educators. Furthermore, the 400 teachers are encouraged to engage in the exchange of experiences and ideas. This collaborative effort allows them to support each other's learning and development. As a result, these educators are better equipped to handle emergencies that may occur in the centre, ensuring a secure learning environment for the children under their care. The emphasis on continuous improvement and shared knowledge positions these teachers to provide high-quality education to the children they serve.
The Computational Thinking Program, an enrichment program, is accessible across all Eduwis centres. It is a problem-solving methodology that entails dissecting intricate problems into smaller, manageable steps executable by a computer. This crucial skill, relevant in the digital era, can be introduced to children early to nurture logical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and a foundational grasp of computer science concepts. Eduwis integrates robots into the learning process as valuable tools, facilitating interactive experiences and providing visual aids to augment children's comprehension. These efforts collectively contribute to a well-rounded educational approach that prepares children for the challenges and opportunities of the digital age.

An optimal learning environment plays a pivotal role in a child's educational journey, and at Eduwis, great emphasis is placed on providing just that. Within our facilities, various thoughtfully designed learning corners cater to children's diverse needs and interests. These specialized learning corners encompass various engaging areas designed to stimulate different facets of a child's development. Among these is the reading corner, where children can immerse themselves in the enchanting world of books, fostering a love for literature. The puppet corner encourages imaginative play, while the science and math corner sparks curiosity and exploration of these foundational concepts. The music corner provides an avenue for creative expression through sound and rhythm, and, most importantly, it stimulates children's brains while playing the piano. The home corner, also known as the role-play corner, allows children to engage in imaginative scenarios, fostering social skills and creativity. The water and sand play corners offer sensory-rich experiences that promote tactile learning and experimentation. We have a dedicated playground area for physical development and outdoor play, providing a space for children to engage in active play and social interaction. Additionally, the garden area extends the learning environment, introducing children to nature and instilling an early appreciation for the environment.
Below are some testimonials of our parents from Kuala Lumpur centres.
Eduwis community actively participates in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) events organized by the headquarters. The most recent CSR event, 'Plastic - Good or Bad?' was held in August 2023, in collaboration with CLEVER Education and WWF-Malaysia. The primary objective was to raise awareness about plastic waste. WWF-Malaysia conducted an engaging and interactive session for the children, equipping them with a better understanding of plastics, how to manage them responsibly, and the consequences of not practising proper plastic waste disposal. Following the informative talk, Eduwis organized a delightful parenting workshop where participants were taught how to creatively repurpose used mineral water bottles into fans. As a demonstration of their commitment to supporting WWF-Malaysia's conservation efforts, Eduwis made a generous donation of RM3000.
