Welcome To Our Open Day

We would like to welcome everyone to our Taska and Tadika Open Day set to happen next month: Our Taska Open Day will be on the 10th December 2011 from 11.00am-5.00pm and Tadika Open Day be on the 17th December 2011 from 11.00am-5.00pm. Do come to view our centres and meet our dedicated teachers and care providers. Should you have any questions, we will be happy to answer and explain.  

Our Tadika has been transformed into a beautiful and colourful building that I'm sure really catches your eyes to translate the fun learning concept that we would like to implement and our Taska will follow suit soon with the same colour scheme. 

Here are some of the photos of Tadika Duniaku Ceria:

Preschool Education-Are we the educators considered professionals?

On the 8th October 2011, we attended a roadshow organised by Jawatankuasa Pemandu in collaboration with Kementerian Pelajaran Malaysia on 'Quality and successful Preschool Education. It was an eye-opener for both of us as the government through its GTP (Government Transformation Programme) has decided that in order to achieve a developed nation status in year 2020, it needs to develop its human capital. Through Jawatankuasa Pemandu the government has singled-out that human capital development should start from the young age and thus, the role that 'Early Childhood Care and Education' play is vital in achieving this target thus, enhancing the image and status of preschool educators is the starting point. 

We realised that society do not place the ECCE educators highly as their most desired profession. They are lowly paid and their benefits working in this industry is not attractive compared to those working in government schools. However, these people keep on burning the candle for the love of our little children who need their love, care and guidance irregardless of the low-pay. 

The government has decided that in order to increase the image and professionalism of the ECCE industry, the workers will need to have a minimum qualification of Diploma in Early Childhood Education and in line with that salary and benefits will have to increase. On our part as operators of preschools, we welcome this move but our biggest dilemma will be the increase in our operational costs. To answer this issue, the government will come up with incentives for parents who sends their children to daycare centres (Taska) and kindergartens (Tadika). What sort of incentives? Well, I guess we'll have to wait till next year for the announcement to be made. 

If you have any comments to improve the industry, by all means bring it forth so that we can highlight them to the right channel.

Year 2012 New Registration Is Now Open



Duniaku Ceria Childcare Centre and Kindergarten is a one-stop daycare centre and kindergarten catering to working parents who wants to ensure that their children is in safe hands; well-taken care of mentally and physically. We have developed a curriculum that is based on 'Fun Learning Through Play' that ensures each child enjoy and love learning and will continue to do so until they step into primary school and beyond. 

We believe a child learns best when at play and not in an environment that focuses on academic alone. Having said that, our Daycare Centre Module is focused on the development of a child's cognitive, language,  physical and socio-emotional skills. Meanwhile, our Kindergarten curriculum is in line with the latest 'Kurikulum Standard Pra-Sekolah Kebangsaan 2010' which focuses on 'Basic and Thematic Module' which ensures they are fun to learn and at the same time achieve the 3M's (Membaca, Menulis, Mengira) skills.

For parents who are earning below RM1,500.00 and registered with the e-Kasih programme (http://www.kpwkm.gov.my/ekasih), they are entitled to a subsidy of up to RM150 for their child pre-school education should they be enrolled in our Kindergarten.
