Wonder Village is a child care centre and play school that focuses on respectful, responsive care and child-led learning. We prioritise the development of the whole child while supporting families in their parenting journeys. We are located in the heart of Kampung Tunku, SS1 Petaling Jaya, in a beautiful single-storey bungalow with lots of outdoor space for exploring nature.
At the core of our approach is respect and trust for each child. We believe that every child, even the tiniest infants, are remarkable individuals with their own unique personalities, interests, and abilities. We focus on building strong bonds with children, which helps them to grow into secure and resilient people.
We are deeply rooted in our Malaysian heritage while being inspired by different educational philosophies, including the Educaring approach® developed by Resources for Infant Educarers (RIE), the teachings of Emmi Pikler, and child-led pedagogies such as Italy’s Reggio Emilia and New Zealand’s Te Whariki.
Wonder Village isn’t your typical preschool; we partner with your family to nurture and raise your child, providing a safe and wonder-filled environment where they can thrive.
Healthy attachments and strong bonds are the focus of our work with children.
Through respectful caregiving and interactions, children learn that they are loved and valued.
Children learn about the world and their place in it through play and exploration.
Children are supported in their learning through plenty of play, nurturing environments and at- tuned educators.
Children are supposed to process and express all of their feelings.
Positive disipline and emotion coaching help childrendevelop resilience, empathy and emotional regulations.
Children get healthy and tasty food daily. Our menu changes daily and has been reviewed by a professional nutritionist.
We spend lots of time outdoors so that children can crawl, run and climb freely.
“Really grateful that we get to be with Wonder Village as part of our parenthood journey with our baby girl! Not only did she have such a wonderful time there while being taken great care of, but as parents, we learnt so much about respectful parenting. Carmen and Justina are both truly amazing, we appreciate their passion and all the effort they’ve put in to create a safe space for the children to grow.
We hope that the Wonder Village community will grow and there will be more amazing and safe places that can provide great quality childcare service as Wonder Village!”
At Wonder Village, we believe that all children are worthy and deserving of respect, right from the start. Our mission is to enable access to high-quality early years care for families and to create amazing careers for childcare providers.
