There is something familiar and friendly in the names “Peter & Jane”, don’t you think? Like, two childhood friends who’ve been hanging around us for as long as we could remember, even when time passes and life happens, and we grow taller and greyer, they are just always there for us, cheering us on. This sentiment rings true for Peter & Jane kindergarten. Ask any of its alumni, chances are, they would share the same sentiment about their first school – the place where they took their first steps into the world.
Founded in 1982, Peter & Jane kindergarten started humbly in a house located in Taman Megah, but with a big ambition to provide parents with the best quality early childhood education for their children; over time they have built themselves a solid track record in curriculum excellence.
As a premium Montessori-based kindergarten, Peter & Jane provides two main programmes, namely the Nursery programme, for children age 2.5 to 4 years old, and the kindergarten programme for the 5-6 years old. The Nursery programme is mainly focusing on the Montessori approach where they will work with didactic Montessori learning material. As for the kindergarten programme, it focuses on preparing the children for formal schooling, where the 3Rs (Reading, Writing & Arithmetic) will be further enhanced.

Trilingual Exposure (English, Bahasa Malaysia, Mandarin)
Research shows that young children’s minds are malleable and learning different languages comes as natural as breathing. Consistent exposure to different languages makes the learning experience meaningful to the children, and this is especially true as we are all living in a multiethnic and multilingual society.
Thematic Learning
Peter & Jane strives to provide meaningful and immersive learning experience for children through thematic learning. Children learn in an environment that is rich in sounds, sights, and feels. Such teaching methodology encourages the child to connect the dots between subjects, like science and mathematics, within a systematic theme.
Innovative Study
The music programme – Music Circle – was developed by Musikgarten (USA), a leader in early childhood music education, for Peter & Jane’s children, all the music teachers are professionally trained to run the programme. It is proven that music acquisition stimulates children’s development in all areas, thus increases intelligence, defines personality, and keeps the brain healthy.
Language Programme
Another in-demand programme – The Chinese Language Programme– is developed by a Taiwanese professor specializing in early childhood education. The interactive syllabus enables children to grasp the language with ease, motivating them to use the language to express and communicate in real life contexts.
Moulding Personalities
One of the core values of Peter & Jane kindergarten is to treat each child with dignity. Children are encouraged to explore their potential and interests and respect each other as individuals. This gives children the space to make and learn to be responsible for their own choices while nurturing independence and confidence from a young age.
