INTRODUCTION

The Malaysian government has placed a strong emphasis on Early Child Care and

Education (ECCE). Many entrepreneurs have take part in setting up ECCE to meet

the diverse needs of the crucial early years of newborns until the age of six.

These have contributed to the healthy growth and development of the future

generation.

Early Childhood Care and Education in Malaysia is divided into two categories

according to age groups which are Early Child Care Centre (T!") and pre#

school (T$%").

T!" is built up for children under the age of four years old. T!" is governedunder Child Care Centre Act 1984. Act 308 is intended to ensure &uality

childcare at child center. %t comes under Ministry of o!en" #a!ily and

Co!!$nity De%elo&!ent. The Ministry keeps a register of all childcare

centres through its $epartment of !ocial 'elfare.

T$%" is meant for children age four years old until six years old. The pre#school

education comes under Ministry of 'd$cation. The aim of T$%" is to prepare

the children before entering the formal education at the age of seven years old.

Through the National 'd$cation Act 199( preschool education was ocially

declared part of the school system. ll public or private preschools are re&uired

Curriculum $evelopment Centre Ministry of Education.
