children aged 3- 4-year-old. Eighteen of them are native Malaysians, while four are Chinese and
2 are Indians. There are two teachers assigned for the classroom, and hence the student to child
ratio is 1:12. The classroom has vast windows that make the room well-lit and airy. The
preschool classroom is spacious enough, and there are 12 tables with two children sitting on each
table. Each table is painted in different bright color and labeled by their names. The floor is
