With a fusion of different educationists' approach, Eduwis program can be widely used in different places and for different types of children. As many have known, Froebel is the "father of kindergarten". He emphasises on the importance of play and nature for young children. With his approach, Eduwis prepares more than 1,600 hands-on learning activities to let children "learn through play". We stand with Froebel's belief in preschool education by finding the beauty and power of nature as learning resources. Therefore, all Eduwis centres including shoplot premises are equipped with an edible garden. We let the children grow vegetables, flowers and fruits as part of the curriculum - to enhance children's character, enrich their learning experience and broaden their knowledge and skills.

The Montessori approach is probably a popular approach that is well-received by most Malaysian parents. Eduwis program only uses certain Montessori's philosophies, focusing on developing children's living skills, self-discipline and self-regulation. Most of our daily school routine revolves around implementing Montessori's approach. For example, in our classrooms, children enjoy a prepared environment that is orderly and clean. During mealtime, children are required to learn good eating habits, proper way of using the utensils as well as clean up themselves and the environment after meal.

When we talk about cultivating moral values in Eduwis, Confucius' approach undoubtedly plays a crucial role. We use Confucius' concept of "ren" (benevolence) to cultivate empathy, helping each other, altruism and sharing among the children. The concept of "li" means etiquette and rules for dealing with others in daily life. It is the norm of social theory and morality, guiding, restricting and regulating thoughts and behaviours to maintain social tranquillity and development. It is important for children to know how to respect each other and be in a community with good moral values, especially in a multi-racial society with an abundance of culture like Malaysia. We also emphasise "yi" (righteousness) to children in Eduwis. We uphold these philosophies to be the best preschool in Kota Kinabalu for bringing up future leaders who are loyal, courageous to do what is right, have justice and reasonable.

Eduwis integrates a diverse range of teaching methodologies and learning approaches, whereas traditional education often relies solely on a teacher-centered approach through direct instruction. Traditional education tends to prioritise academic performance over providing ample time for children to engage in critical thinking and process information from their own perspectives. Traditional methods tend to concentrate more on delivering content areas or transmitting information, often neglecting opportunities to nurture children's creativity, problem-solving abilities, decision-making skills, and communication skills development. With a heavy reliance on textbooks, traditional methods seldom encourage learning through experimentation and firsthand experiences. In contrast, Eduwis develops a program befitting of the best kindergarten in Malaysia, prioritizing prioritizes the learning process and skills mastery over mere progress in learning.

Eduwis also emphasises the importance of each learning corner for their exploration and self learning. As the best preschools in Kota Kinabalu, we offer a rich and purposeful environment, including music corner, reading corner, puppet corner, science and maths corner, garden area, home corner and outdoor area.
