Abstract

Early childhood education in Malaysia is divided between TASKA (for children aged 0-4) and preschools (for children aged 4-6). TASKA centres play an essential role in providing nurturing care and early education for infants and toddlers. However, despite the growing awareness of the importance of early learning, TASKA centres in Malaysia still face challenges such as limited teacher training, unequal quality among urban and rural areas, and increasing parental expectations. This study explores the ways TASKA can strengthen infant and toddler education to align with parental aspirations and current educational trends. The findings show that TASKA has improved in areas of safety and health but must also prioritise holistic learning through play-based and interactive approaches. Strengthening teacher training, parent partnerships, and curriculum design will ensure that TASKA continues to meet the needs of Malaysian families and contributes to lifelong learning success.

Abstract

This paper explores the implementation of teaching and learning (T&L) approaches for infants and toddlers in Malaysian childcare centres (TASKA) and examines how these practices align with the aspirations of modern parents. Using a library research method, the paper reviews theoretical frameworks and literature on early childhood development, highlighting the importance of play-based learning, structured daily routines, sensory play, early communication, and social interaction. Findings indicate that while these approaches contribute to children’s holistic development, challenges such as uneven quality of facilities, limited teacher training, and the cautious integration of technology remain. The review concludes that strengthening professional development, enhancing collaboration with parents, and adopting context-sensitive models are crucial to meeting parental expectations and sustaining quality early childhood education in Malaysia.

Abstract

This study explores teaching approaches in Malaysian childcare centres (TASKA) and compares them with modern parental expectations. TASKA mainly uses play-based learning, motor skill development, language enhancement, and value-based activities, promoting holistic growth. Teachers find play-based methods effective but face challenges like limited resources and diverse children’s behaviors. Parents prioritize safety, moral education, communication skills, and early technology exposure. While TASK meets most expectations, there is a gap in incorporating modern digital learning tools to equip children with 21st-century skills. The study recommends improving teacher training, strengthening parent collaboration, and introducing innovative, age-appropriate technology in early education.

Abstract

This study was conducted to examine the implementation of the teaching and learning approach (PdP) for infants and toddlers in Nursery and to assess the extent to which the approach meets the aspirations of today's parents. This study uses interviews with Nursery teachers and library research as the main source. Through interviews, the researcher obtained a real picture of daily PdP practices such as the play-while-learning approach, routine-based learning and child-centered activities. Library research also helps strengthen the findings by reviewing early education theories and policies such as the PERMATA National Curriculum and the views of local and international scholars. The results of the study show that the teachers at the nursery implement PdP which emphasizes the comprehensive development of children from emotional, cognitive, social and physical aspects. However, challenges such as time constraints, high number of teachers with children and lack of technological facilities were also identified. This study concludes that the implementation of PdP in Nursery is already on a good track but needs to be improved in terms of professional teacher training, the provision of interesting teaching aids as well as continuous cooperation between parents and Nursery management so that early childhood education continues to be relevant and of good quality.

Abstract

This library study examines the implementation strategy of the teaching and learning approach (PdP) for infants (0–12 months) and toddlers (1–3 years) at TASKA that is in line with the aspirations of today's parents. The latest literature from 2020 to 2025 is used as the main reference. The main findings emphasize five important aspects: development-based play, safety and hygiene (K3), home–TASKA communication, development monitoring, and the inculcation of early values and manners. This study suggests the implementation of structured play routines, the use of robust K3 protocols, transparent communication mechanisms, brief developmental assessments, and emphasizing Islamic values in children's daily lives. In conclusion, a comprehensive PdP can meet the expectations of today's parents for their children's early education (Yoke-Yean et al., 2021; Rahmatullah et al., 2021).

Abstract

The study examines the implementation of effective teaching and learning (T&L) approaches in taska that align with the expectations of modern families. Through a review of literature and previous studies, it is found that parents emphasize aspects such as safety, quality caregiving, holistic learning approaches, and the use of technology as key priorities. Various T&L approaches have been identified as suitable for infants and toddlers, including play-based learning, child-centred approaches, sensory-motor activities, the strengthening of social interactions, and active parental involvement in children’s developmental processes. Nevertheless, several challenges have been identified, including teachers’ competency levels, resource constraints, and communication gaps with parents. This article asserts that efforts to enhance educators’ professional training, strengthen taska-parent collaboration, and improve early education policies are essential to ensure that family aspirations are met. In conclusion, taska serves as a strong foundation for nurturing a balanced, creative and future-ready early generation prepared to face the challenges of the 21st century.

Abstract

Fostering Creativity via the Reggio Emilia Approach: An Examination of Early Learning Practices in Malaysian TASKA. This article examines the application of the Reggio Emilia Approach in Malaysian Taman Asuhan Kanak-Kanak (TASKA) and its significance in fostering creativity and comprehensive development in young children. The Reggio Emilia philosophy, originating in Italy, perceives children as competent, curious, and capable learners who articulate themselves through many kinds of communication, commonly termed the "hundred languages." This study used a qualitative research design, incorporating a literature review, interviews with TASKA educators, and document analysis to investigate the application of Reggio concepts in Malaysian early childhood settings. Research indicates that Reggio-inspired TASKA centres prioritise creativity via project-based learning, child-centered surroundings, collaborative instruction, and active parental engagement. Educators serve as facilitators who monitor and direct learning, whereas documentation methods promote reflection and foster connections between the school and home. Notwithstanding problems such restricted training and budget limitations, the methodology has demonstrated considerable beneficial impacts on children's curiosity, confidence, and problem-solving skills. The study indicates that the Reggio Emilia concept possesses significant potential to revolutionise early education in Malaysia by fostering reflective teaching, creativity, and culturally pertinent learning methods.
