Pre-school education in Malaysia is provided through government-run, private, and non-governmental organizations' kindergartens. The government provides common guidelines for a syllabus. Two examples highlighted are the Child Care Centre at the International Islamic University, which cares for children from 2 months to 6 years old, and Tadika Seri Soka Kindergarten, which has 510 students and 62 teachers. Pre-schools aim to educate children to be righteous, intelligent, healthy individuals and good future citizens through developing their physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual skills. They utilize resources like libraries, gardens, and multimedia and emphasize teaching processes like language development, mathematics, and other subjects through activities.
