Sabah’s first music-themed playschool
KOTA KINABALU: The first ever music-themed playschool in Sabah is finally open for intake in March and it is offering a special discount to the first 30 children to register.
Located at Jalan Punai Tanah, Likas (opposite the Chung Hwa Kindergarten and next to the State Education Department building), the ECC (Every Child Can) Playschool Plus is open to children aged two to four years old and provides full-day daycare service. The playschool will be using music and arts as a medium of learning for students.
According to Lily Yong, the Chief Operations Officer for ECC Playschool Plus, “music has been proven to be able to stimulate brain development, especially in young children. Therefore, ECC Playschool Plus provides creative and interesting thematic classes with lessons using musical instruments, such as piano, violin, singing and phonics, as well as arts and crafts activities.”
Lily adds that early exposure to music and arts early in their lives will help develop creative and cognitive skills in children. Furthermore, this will also help prepare the children’s minds for academic learning in the future. In addition to that, Lily notes that picking up skills early in life, especially in learning musical instruments, will help instill discipline and build solid characters from young.
On top of that, ECC Playschool Plus teachers are also highly trained and qualified in the field of creative arts and music. To ensure the children’s health and safety, the playschool also hires full-time registered nurses to monitor the children’s health and plan nutritious meals for their growing bodies.
The ECC Playschool Plus will have its two-day open day on February 24 and 25 from 10am to 5pm. Interested parents are encouraged to come during the open day for a tour of the newlyopening playschool.
